Subject: [patch V2 2/3] x86/irq: Cleanup posted MSI code
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2025 22:50:47 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251125214631.108458942@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251125214446.766096680@linutronix.de>

Make code and comments readable and use __this_cpu..() as this is
guaranteed to be invoked with interrupts disabled.
