[ Upstream commit 8932c32c3053accd50702b36e944ac2016cd103c ]
Hierarchical domains created using irq_domain_create_hierarchy() are
currently added to the domain list before having been fully initialised.
This specifically means that a racing allocation request might fail to
allocate irq data for the inner domains of a hierarchy in case the
parent domain pointer has not yet been set up.
Note that this is not really any issue for irqchip drivers that are
registered early (e.g. via IRQCHIP_DECLARE() or IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE())
but could potentially cause trouble with drivers that are registered
later (e.g. modular drivers using IRQCHIP_PLATFORM_DRIVER_BEGIN(),
gpiochip drivers, etc.).
Fixes: afb7da83b9f4 ("irqdomain: Introduce helper function irq_domain_add_hierarchy()")

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.
