Subject: [PATCH 5.2 08/21] genirq: Fix misleading synchronize_irq() documentation
Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 12:01:26 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190718030032.145247589@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190718030030.456918453@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 1d21f2af8571c6a6a44e7c1911780614847b0253 upstream.

The function might sleep, so it cannot be called from interrupt
context. Not even with care.
