What modification are you considering?

Roughly, I'm considering make synchronize_irq() be moved into
iwl_disable_interrupts() and fix iwl_irq_tasket not to call
iwl_disable_interrupts with irq disabled.
For now iwl_irq_tasklet calls iwl_disable_interrupts() with local irq disabled.
like this:

static void iwl_irq_tasklet(struct iwl_priv *priv)
{
        ...
        spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags);

        ...
        /* Now service all interrupt bits discovered above. */
        if (inta & CSR_INT_BIT_HW_ERR) {
                IWL_ERROR("Microcode HW error detected.  Restarting.\n");

                /* Tell the device to stop sending interrupts */
                iwl_disable_interrupts(priv);
                ...
                spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->lock, flags);
                return;
        }



After disabling interrupts, it's possible irq & tasklet is pending or running
This patch eleminates races for down iwlwifi

Since synchronize_irq can introduce iwl_irq_tasklet, tasklet_kill
should be called after doing synchronize_irq
To avoid races between iwl_synchronize_irq and iwl_irq_tasklet STATUS_INT_ENABLED
flag is needed.
