Linux kernel source tree
cbe16f35be
Many drivers don't want interrupts enabled automatically via request_irq(). So they are handling this issue by either way of the below two: (1) irq_set_status_flags(irq, IRQ_NOAUTOEN); request_irq(dev, irq...); (2) request_irq(dev, irq...); disable_irq(irq); The code in the second way is silly and unsafe. In the small time gap between request_irq() and disable_irq(), interrupts can still come. The code in the first way is safe though it's subobtimal. Add a new IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag which can be handed in by drivers to request_irq() and request_nmi(). It prevents the automatic enabling of the requested interrupt/nmi in the same safe way as #1 above. With that the various usage sites of #1 and #2 above can be simplified and corrected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
