[PATCH resend 2/2] mpt3sas: Remove unnecessary synchronize_irq() before free_irq()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Calling synchronize_irq() right before free_irq() is quite useless. On one
hand the IRQ can easily fire again before free_irq() is entered, on the
other hand free_irq() itself calls synchronize_irq() internally (in a race
condition free way), before any state associated with the IRQ is freed.

Patch was generated using the following semantic patch:
// <smpl>
@@
expression irq;
@@
-synchronize_irq(irq);
 free_irq(irq, ...);
// </smpl>
