Subject: [PATCH 3/9] omap-keypad: Use disable_irq_nosync() from within irq handlers.
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:54:34 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1239861274.29831.118.camel@linux-51e8.site> (raw)


disable_irq() should wait for all running handlers to complete
before returning.  As such, if it's used to disable an interrupt
from that interrupt's handler it will deadlock.  This replaces
the dangerous instances with the _nosync() variant which doesn't
have this problem.

This patch may be overly paranoid, it'd be cleaner to just
disable all the row irqs _nosync() but it wouldn't be as
correct.  Up to $MAINTAINER :-)
