My worry is that this will force irq_soft_mask_set() out of line, which
we would rather avoid. It's meant to be a fast path.
In fact with this applied I see nearly 300 out-of-line copies of the
function when building a defconfig, and ~1700 calls to it.
Normally it is inlined at every call site.
So I think I'm inclined to revert ef5b570d3700 ("powerpc/irq: Don't open
code irq_soft_mask helpers").
Could you revert it only partially ? In extenso, revert the
READ/WRITE_ONCE and bring back the inline asm in irq_soft_mask_return()
and irq_soft_mask_set(), but keep other changes.
I sent a patch doing that.
