Previously a race existed between __free_irq() and __setup_irq() wherein the thread_mask of a just removed action could be handed out to a newly added action and the freed irq thread would then tread on the oneshot mask bit of the newly added irq thread in irq_finalize_oneshot(): time | __free_irq() | raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&desc->lock, flags); | <remove action from linked list> | raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&desc->lock, flags); | | __setup_irq() | raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&desc->lock, flags); | <traverse linked list to determine oneshot mask bit> | raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&desc->lock, flags); | | irq_thread() of freed irq (__free_irq() waits in synchronize_irq()) | irq_thread_fn() | irq_finalize_oneshot() | raw_spin_lock_irq(&desc->lock); | desc->threads_oneshot &= ~action->thread_mask; | raw_spin_unlock_irq(&desc->lock); v The race was known at least since 2012 when it was documented in a code comment by commite04268b0ef("genirq: Remove paranoid warnons and bogus fixups"). The race itself is harmless as nothing touches any of the potentially freed data after synchronize_irq(). In 2017 the race was close by commit9114014cf4("genirq: Add mutex to irq desc to serialize request/free_irq()"), apparently inadvertantly so because the race is neither mentioned in the commit message nor was the code comment updated. Make up for that.
