I think the code disabling irq in hardIRQ is simply wrong. Since this commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e58aa3d2d0cc genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled interrupt handlers are definitely running in a irq-disabled context unless irq handlers enable them explicitly in the handler to permit other interrupts. > > Please see also, > https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/[email protected] > m/ > _______________________________________________ > Linuxarm mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe Thanks Barry
