disable_irq() after request_irq() still has a time gap in which interrupts can come. request_irq() with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag will disable IRQ auto-enable because of requesting. this patch is made base on "add IRQF_NO_AUTOEN for request_irq" which is being merged: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1388765/ Signed-off-by: Tian Tao <tiantao6@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/rtc/rtc-cpcap.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-cpcap.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-cpcap.c index afc8fcb..c14b838 100644 --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-cpcap.c +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-cpcap.c @@ -270,13 +270,13 @@ static int cpcap_rtc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) rtc->alarm_irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0); err = devm_request_threaded_irq(dev, rtc->alarm_irq, NULL, cpcap_rtc_alarm_irq, - IRQF_TRIGGER_NONE | IRQF_ONESHOT, + IRQF_TRIGGER_NONE | IRQF_ONESHOT | + IRQF_NO_AUTOEN, "rtc_alarm", rtc); if (err) { dev_err(dev, "Could not request alarm irq: %d\n", err); return err; } - disable_irq(rtc->alarm_irq); /* Stock Android uses the 1 Hz interrupt for "secure clock daemon", * which is not supported by the mainline kernel.
