why return from raise_softirq() simply

Hi,

To acitvate a softirq, the raise_softirq() will be invorked. In this
function, in_interruput() function is called, and if we get value 1,
raise_softirq() will return simply. According to ULK3, this situation
indicates either that raise_softirq() has been invoked in interrupt
context, or that the softirqs are currently disabled. For the latter,
namely that the softirqs are currently disabled, I have no idea about
it. How can we know?
