Oh, I was wrong that I thought you would use spin_lock_irqsave to
disable interrupt. I am not familiar with spin_lock_irqsave behaviours
at RT kernel.
Yes, if you use local_irq_save at below sequence, that's ok.
spin_lock_irqsave(lock, flag_1);
...
func hw_ep_prime
{
local_irq_save(flag_2);
...
local_irq_restore(flag_2);
}
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(lock, flag_1);
