From 5234ffb9f74cfa8993d174782bc861dd9b7b5bfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Gordeev Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 14:59:59 +0100 Subject: genirq: Get rid of unnecessary IRQTF_DIED flag Currently IRQTF_DIED flag is set when a IRQ thread handler calls do_exit() But also PF_EXITING per process flag gets set when a thread exits. This fix eliminates the duplicate by using PF_EXITING flag. Also, there is a race condition in exit_irq_thread(). In case a thread's bit is cleared in desc->threads_oneshot (and the IRQ line gets unmasked), but before IRQTF_DIED flag is set, a new interrupt might come in and set just cleared bit again, this time forever. This fix throws IRQTF_DIED flag away, eliminating the race as a result.
