Hello irqchip maintainers, As mentioned upthread, there is a bug in drivers/irqchip/irq-tango.c caused by the unexpected implementation of irq_gc_mask_disable_reg_and_ack() That bug can be fixed either by using an appropriate irq_mask_ack callback, or by not defining an irq_mask_ack callback at all. The first option provides ~1.5% more throughput than the second, for a typical use-case. Whichever option you favor, can we fix this bug in current and stable branches? (The fix was submitted two months ago.) Regards.
