From d8bf368d0631d4bc2612d8bf2e4e8e74e620d0cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Valentin Rothberg Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 15:23:08 +0100 Subject: genirq: Remove the deprecated 'IRQF_DISABLED' request_irq() flag entirely The IRQF_DISABLED flag is a NOOP and has been scheduled for removal since Linux v2.6.36 by commit 6932bf37bed4 ("genirq: Remove IRQF_DISABLED from core code"). According to commit e58aa3d2d0cc ("genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled"), running IRQ handlers with interrupts enabled can cause stack overflows when the interrupt line of the issuing device is still active. This patch ends the grace period for IRQF_DISABLED (i.e., SA_INTERRUPT in older versions of Linux) and removes the definition and all remaining usages of this flag. There's still a few non-functional references left in the kernel source: - The bigger hunk in Documentation/scsi/ncr53c8xx.txt is removed entirely as IRQF_DISABLED is gone now; the usage in older kernel versions (including the old SA_INTERRUPT flag) should be discouraged. The trouble of using IRQF_SHARED is a general problem and not specific to any driver. - I left the reference in Documentation/PCI/MSI-HOWTO.txt untouched since it has already been removed in linux-next. - All remaining references are changelogs that I suggest to keep.
