4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Josh Cartwright <jo...@ni.com>
commit 04da73803c05dc1150ccc31cbf93e8cd56679c09 upstream.
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
