Subject: [patch v2 08/14] genirq: Add rcuref count to struct irq_desc
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:22:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320132102.567167122@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260320131108.344376329@kernel.org

Prepare for a smarter iterator for /proc/interrupts so that the next
interrupt descriptor can be cached after lookup.
