genirq: Add optional hardware synchronization for shutdown free_irq() ensures that no hardware interrupt handler is executing on a different CPU before actually releasing resources and deactivating the interrupt completely in a domain hierarchy. But that does not catch the case where the interrupt is on flight at the hardware level but not yet serviced by the target CPU. That creates an interesing race condition: CPU 0 CPU 1 IRQ CHIP interrupt is raised sent to CPU1 Unable to handle immediately (interrupts off, deep idle delay) mask() ... free() shutdown() synchronize_irq() release_resources() do_IRQ() -> resources are not available That might be harmless and just trigger a spurious interrupt warning, but some interrupt chips might get into a wedged state. Utilize the existing irq_get_irqchip_state() callback for the synchronization in free_irq(). synchronize_hardirq() is not using this mechanism as it might actually deadlock unter certain conditions, e.g. when called with interrupts disabled and the target CPU is the one on which the synchronization is invoked. synchronize_irq() uses it because that function cannot be called from non preemtible contexts as it might sleep. No functional change intended and according to Marc the existing GIC implementations where the driver supports the callback should be able to cope with that core change. Famous last words.
