This changelog is a nightmare as usual.
It has nothing to do with pre reservation and hot-added ioapics. This
is generic code and does not care at all about x86 specific crappola.
Your change is adding a generic sanity check into free_desc().
So first of all the patch subject is bogus:
genirq: Bail out early in free_desc()
That's missing _WHY_ it bails out early.
And then the changelog itself drivels about completely irrelevant
nonsense instead of explaining the change itself.
So what I want to see here is something like this:
"genirq: Do not free unallocated irq descriptors
Hot-added interrupt controllers can reserve a range of interrupt
numbers, but only allocate some of them. To simplify the release on
hot-remove allow them to iterate over the reserved range and let the
free_desc() code return early when the descriptor does not exist."
Can you see the difference?
I told you more than once, that I'm not accepting your sloppy crap
anymore. I'm simply not buying your claim that you think "chinese"
when writing "english". You are simply too lazy to give a rats ass
about it. That applies to your code and to your changelogs in the same
way.
I'm really tired of dealing with shit like this.
No thanks
