Today, driver has a synchronization point while closing the device which synchronizes its slowpath interrupt line. However, that's insufficient as that ISR would schedule the slowpath-tasklet - so even after ISR is over it's possible the handling of the interrupt has not completed. By doing a disable/enable on the taskelt we guarantee that all HW events that should no longer be genereated from that point onward in the flow are truly behind us.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
