The external interrupt (F_PL_INTR_EXT) needs to be handled in a process context and this is accomplished by utilizing a workqueue. The process context can also be provided by a threaded interrupt instead of a workqueue. The threaded interrupt can be used later for other interrupt related processing which require non-atomic context without using yet another workqueue. free_irq() also ensures that the thread is done which is currently missing (the worker could continue after the module has been removed). Save pending flags in pending_thread_intr. Use the same mechanism to disable F_PL_INTR_EXT as interrupt source like it is used before the worker is scheduled. Enable the interrupt again once t1_elmer0_ext_intr_handler() is done. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
