I was looking over the patches in preempt-irqs-core.patch in the broken out 23rt3 series and came across this chunk: ----------- @@ -325,6 +349,11 @@ int setup_irq(unsigned int irq, struct i if (!shared) { irq_chip_set_defaults(desc->chip); + /* + * Propagate any possible IRQF_NODELAY flag into IRQ_NODELAY: + */ + recalculate_desc_flags(desc); + #if defined(CONFIG_IRQ_PER_CPU) if (new->flags & IRQF_PERCPU) desc->status |= IRQ_PER_CPU; ----------- Note the recalculate is actually contained within the "if (!shared)" even though at a casual glance the indentation suggests otherwise. Looking at older versions of the broken out patches leads me to believe the if clause should be after the recalculate. I've attached a patch to do just that, but if you'd rather I just respin the preempt-irqs-core.patch then I could just as easily do that as well.
