Re: [PATCH 2/3] dma: xilinx_dpdma: Remove unnecessary use of irqsave/restore

Hi,

On 08/03/2024 23:00, Sean Anderson wrote:
xilinx_dpdma_chan_done_irq and xilinx_dpdma_chan_vsync_irq are always
called with IRQs disabled from xilinx_dpdma_irq_handler. Therefore we
don't need to save/restore the IRQ flags.

I think this is fine, but a few thoughts:

- Is spin_lock clearly faster than the irqsave variant, or is this a pointless optimization? It's safer to just use irqsave variant, instead of making sure the code is always called from the expected contexts. - Is this style documented/recommended anywhere? Going through docs, I only found docs telling to use irqsave when mixing irq and non-irq contexts.
- Does this cause issues on PREEMPT_RT?
