The cuda_start() function uses spinlock_irq_save/restore for mutual exclusion. Let's have cuda_poll() do the same when polling the VIA interrupt. The benefit to disabling local irqs when the interrupt is being polled is that the interrupt handler now has the same timing properties regardless of whether it is invoked normally or from cuda_poll(). This driver was written back when local irqs remained enabled during execution of interrupt handlers and cuda_poll() was probably trying to achieve the same effect by use of enable/disable_irq.

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.
