local_irq_save vs raw_local_irq_save

[Raj Ravi <mekaviraj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Please let me know the difference between
local_irq_save  and raw_local_irq_save ?

At which situation one should use raw_local_irq_save?

Also, I read "flags"  is where interrupt state is saved while disabling interrupts in local cpu (for local_irq_save).

What EXACTLY this  flags contains?  What do you mean by interrupt state here?

Thanks!

Kavi
