Subject: [PATCH] USB: fix interrupt disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers

Hi Alan & Greg,

third time is the charm (I hope)...

*Sigh* there are certain things you just shouldn't do when burning the midnight oil. I changed the patch according to your suggestions and also copied the comment for usb_hcd_irq() from David's changes.

I hope this can still make it into 2.6.26, because it seems to solve a lot of problems for the users out there...

Regards,

	Stefan

    USB: fix interrupt disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers
    
    As has been discussed several times on LKML, IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_DISABLED
    doesn't work reliably, i.e. a shared interrupt handler CAN'T be certain to
    be called with interrupts disabled. Most USB HCD handlers use IRQF_DISABLED
    and therefore havoc can break out if they share their interrupt with a
    handler that doesn't use it.
    
    On my test machine the yenta_socket interrupt handler (no IRQF_DISABLED)
    was registered before ehci_hcd and one uhci_hcd instance. Therefore all
    usb_hcd_irq() invocations for ehci_hcd and for one uhci_hcd instance
    happened with interrupts enabled. That led to random lockups as USB core
    HCD functions that acquire the same spinlock could be called twice
    from interrupt handlers.
    
    This patch updates usb_hcd_irq() to always disable/restore interrupts.
    usb_add_hcd() will silently remove any IRQF_DISABLED requested from HCD code.
