Revision 69dd3d8e29e294caaf63eb5e8a72d250279f9e5f authored by Linus Torvalds on 23 August 2011, 17:36:51 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 23 August 2011, 17:36:51 UTC
This reverts commit f3637a5f2e2eb391ff5757bc83fb5de8f9726464.

It turns out that this breaks several drivers, one example being OMAP
boards which use the on-board OMAP UARTs and the omap-serial driver that
will not boot to userspace after the commit.

Paul Walmsley reports that enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ reveals 'IRQ
handler type mismatch' errors:

  IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 74
  current handler: serial idle
  ...

and the reason is that setting IRQF_ONESHOT will now result in those
interrupt handlers having different IRQF flags, and thus being
unsharable.  So the commit log in the reverted commit:

                            "Since it is required for those users and
    there is no difference for others it makes sense to add this flag
    unconditionally."

is simply not true: there may not be any difference from a "actions at
irq time", but there is a *big* difference wrt this flag testing irq
management (see __setup_irq() in kernel/irq/manage.c).

One solution may be to stop verifying IRQF_ONESHOT in __setup_irq(), but
right now the safe course of action is to revert the change.  Let's
revisit this in a later merge window.
