    genirq: Provide disable_hardirq() · 02cea395
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    For things like netpoll there is a need to disable an interrupt from
    atomic context. Currently netpoll uses disable_irq() which will
    sleep-wait on threaded handlers and thus forced_irqthreads breaks
    things.
    
    Provide disable_hardirq(), which uses synchronize_hardirq() to only wait
    for active hardirq handlers; also change synchronize_hardirq() to
    return the status of threaded handlers.
    
    This will allow one to try-disable an interrupt from atomic context, or
    in case of request_threaded_irq() to only wait for the hardirq part.
