Specifically in the ldc_bind() case, we're passing iRQF_DISABLED here so that the IRQ is not turned on when we request the IRQ, we later do enable_irq() on these after we've take the spinlock in this function. The IRQ cannot be allowed to be delivered between the request_irq() call and the enable_irq() calls. This sequence is necessary to deal with some lock ordering issues. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
