3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit a3e6c1eff54878506b2dddcc202df9cc8180facb upstream. If the irq_chip does not define .irq_disable, any call to disable_irq will defer disabling the IRQ until it fires while marked as disabled. This assumes that the handler function checks for this condition, which handle_percpu_irq does not. In this case, calling disable_irq leads to an IRQ storm, if the interrupt fires while disabled. This optimization is only useful when disabling the IRQ is slow, which is not true for the MIPS CPU IRQ. Disable this optimization by implementing .irq_disable and .irq_enable Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/8949/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/kernel/irq_cpu.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) --- a/arch/mips/kernel/irq_cpu.c +++ b/arch/mips/kernel/irq_cpu.c @@ -56,6 +56,8 @@ static struct irq_chip mips_cpu_irq_cont .irq_mask_ack = mask_mips_irq, .irq_unmask = unmask_mips_irq, .irq_eoi = unmask_mips_irq, + .irq_disable = mask_mips_irq, + .irq_enable = unmask_mips_irq, }; /* @@ -92,6 +94,8 @@ static struct irq_chip mips_mt_cpu_irq_c .irq_mask_ack = mips_mt_cpu_irq_ack, .irq_unmask = unmask_mips_irq, .irq_eoi = unmask_mips_irq, + .irq_disable = mask_mips_irq, + .irq_enable = unmask_mips_irq, }; void __init mips_cpu_irq_init(void) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
