From 02cea3958664723a5d2236f0f0058de97c7e4693 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 14:06:23 +0100 Subject: genirq: Provide disable_hardirq() For things like netpoll there is a need to disable an interrupt from atomic context. Currently netpoll uses disable_irq() which will sleep-wait on threaded handlers and thus forced_irqthreads breaks things. Provide disable_hardirq(), which uses synchronize_hardirq() to only wait for active hardirq handlers; also change synchronize_hardirq() to return the status of threaded handlers. This will allow one to try-disable an interrupt from atomic context, or in case of request_threaded_irq() to only wait for the hardirq part.
