Subject: [PATCH 1/2] context_tracking: Provide helper to determine if we're in IRQ
Date: Mon,  9 Jun 2025 14:01:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250609180125.2988129-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)

context_tracking keeps track of whether we're handling IRQ well after
the preempt masks give take it off their books. We need this
functionality in a follow-up patch to fix a bug. Provide a helper API
for the same.
