From 46f4f8f665080900e865392f4b3593be463bf0d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:22:01 -0800 Subject: IRQ_NOPROBE helper functions Probing non-ISA interrupts using the handle_percpu_irq as their handle_irq method may crash the system because handle_percpu_irq does not check IRQ_WAITING. This for example hits the MIPS Qemu configuration. This patch provides two helper functions set_irq_noprobe and set_irq_probe to set rsp. clear the IRQ_NOPROBE flag. The only current caller is MIPS code but this really belongs into generic code. As an aside, interrupt probing these days has become a mostly obsolete if not dangerous art. I think Linux interrupts should be changed to default to non-probing but that's subject of this patch.
