Subject: [PATCH v2 11/14] arm64/irq: Document handling of FEAT_NMI in irqflags.h
Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2022 15:17:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221112151708.175147-12-broonie@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221112151708.175147-1-broonie@kernel.org>
We have documentation at the top of irqflags.h which explains the DAIF
masking. Since the additional masking with NMIs is related and also
covers the IF in DAIF extend the comment to note what's going on with NMIs
though none of the code in irqflags.h is updated to handle NMIs.
