The newly added warning is a false positive if the interrupt originates from any other irqchip than x86 APIC or ARM GIC/GICv3. Those are the only ones for which handle_enforce_irqctx() returns true. Per commit c16816acd086 ("genirq: Add protection against unsafe usage of generic_handle_irq()"): "In general calling generic_handle_irq() with interrupts disabled from non interrupt context is harmless. For some interrupt controllers like the x86 trainwrecks this is outright dangerous as it might corrupt state if an interrupt affinity change is pending." Examples for interrupt chips where the warning is a false positive are USB-attached GPIO controllers such as drivers/gpio/gpio-dln2.c: USB gadgets are incapable of directly signaling an interrupt because they cannot initiate a bus transaction by themselves. All communication on the bus is initiated by the host controller, which polls a gadget's Interrupt Endpoint in regular intervals. If an interrupt is pending, that information is passed up the stack in softirq context, from which a hardirq is synthesized via generic_handle_domain_irq(). Remove the warning to eliminate such false positives.
