From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 75a06189fc508a2acf470b0b12710362ffb2c4b1 upstream.
The resend mechanism happily calls the interrupt handler of interrupts
which are marked IRQ_NESTED_THREAD from softirq context. This can
result in crashes because the interrupt handler is not the proper way
to invoke the device handlers. They must be invoked via
handle_nested_irq.
Prevent the resend even if the interrupt has no valid parent irq
set. Its better to have a lost interrupt than a crashing machine.
