Hey Krzysztof,

Thanks for taking time to review the series :)


Would be nice if you also mention you checked that it is safe to have
both devm and shared interrupts (so you investigated possibility of race
on exit path).

I didn't see any problems with devm being used with SHARED when I posted
it out. After your review comments I went back again to vett the exit
path for races and ran into an pre-existing splat [1] but the bwmon
instances work as expected on module removal/re-insertion.

Using devm and shared interrupts is in general sign of possible race
issues and should be avoided. Just "not seeing problems" is not an
argument for me, to be honest.

Didn't I go further and say I got it tested though? Also can you
elaborate on what race do you think the bwmon will hit rather than
being too generic about it?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
