The use of IRQF_ONESHOT when registering an interrupt handler with request_irq() is non-sensical.
Not only that, it also prevents the handler from being threaded when it otherwise should be w/ IRQ_FORCED_THREADING is enabled. This causes the following deadlock observed by Sean Nyekjaer on -rt: Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM [..] rt_spin_lock_slowlock from queue_kthread_work queue_kthread_work from sc16is7xx_irq sc16is7xx_irq [sc16is7xx] from handle_irq_event_percpu handle_irq_event_percpu from handle_irq_event handle_irq_event from handle_level_irq handle_level_irq from generic_handle_irq generic_handle_irq from mxc_gpio_irq_handler mxc_gpio_irq_handler from mx3_gpio_irq_handler mx3_gpio_irq_handler from generic_handle_irq generic_handle_irq from __handle_domain_irq __handle_domain_irq from gic_handle_irq gic_handle_irq from __irq_svc __irq_svc from rt_spin_unlock rt_spin_unlock from kthread_worker_fn kthread_worker_fn from kthread kthread from ret_from_fork Fixes: 9e6f4ca3e567 ("sc16is7xx: use kthread_worker for tx_work and irq") Reported-by: Sean Nyekjaer <sean.nyekj...@prevas.dk> Signed-off-by: Josh Cartwright <jo...@ni.com> Cc: linux-rt-us...@vger.kernel.org Cc: Jakub Kicinski <moorr...@wp.pl> Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-ser...@vger.kernel.org Cc: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bige...@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Julia Cartwright <ju...@ni.com> --- This patch has been in -rt for a little while, but it isn't -rt specific.
