Subject: [PATCH] ARM: vic: re-read status register before dispatching each IRQ handler
Date: Wed,  4 Apr 2012 11:05:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333533912-30813-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)

handle_IRQ may briefly cause interrupts to be re-enabled during soft IRQ
processing on the exit path, leading to nested handling of VIC interrupts.

Since the current code does not re-read the VIC_IRQ_STATUS register, this
can lead to multiple invocations of the same interrupt handler and
spurious interrupts to be reported.

This patch changes the VIC interrupt dispatching code to re-read the
status register each time, avoiding duplicate invocations of the same
handler.

Taken against v3.4-rc1 and tested on Versatile AB 926 (+ PL011 NULL
pointer fix). I'll put this in the patch system tomorrow if there aren't
any objections.
