Subject: [GIT pull] irq fixes for 4.18

Linus,

please pull the latest irq-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git irq-urgent-for-linus

A single bugfix for the irq core to prevent silent data corruption and
malfunction of threaded interrupts under certain conditions.

Thanks,

	tglx
