RESENT: Add Maintainers free_irq() does not disable/mask the irq, in case disable or shutdown in struct irq_chip is left uninitilazied.
/** * struct irq_chip - hardware interrupt chip descriptor * * @name: name for /proc/interrupts * @startup: start up the interrupt (defaults to ->enable if NULL) * @shutdown: shut down the interrupt (defaults to ->disable if NULL) * @enable: enable the interrupt (defaults to chip->unmask if NULL) * @disable: disable the interrupt (defaults to chip->mask if NULL) According to linux/irq.h struct irq_chip information, chip->disable should default to chip->mask if NULL. However irq_chip_set_defaults(struct irq_chip *chip) will set it to default_disable an empty function. In earlier kernel versions such as 2.6.19 default_disable called chip->mask. In 2.6.22 and 2.6.24 default_disable is an empty function. Looking through various architectures, it's still pretty common that disable and shutdown is NULL. Do I miss something here?
