Subject: [ 60/73] genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit ac5637611150281f398bb7a47e3fcb69a09e7803 upstream.

When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT
returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not
woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never
invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever.

This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread
unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying
device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere
documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the
thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the
interrupt line s kept masked.

Handle it gracefully.
