Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] genirq: Add disable_irq_noflush()
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 11:15:55 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105191556.4042191-2-kbusch@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105191556.4042191-1-kbusch@meta.com>

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>

Drivers that switch between interrupt and polled completions don't need
the mask write flushed to the device; the disabled state already
keeps their handler from running and a late interrupt is replayed on
enable. Add an optional irq_chip::irq_mask_noflush() callback, falling
back to irq_mask(), and disable_irq_noflush() to mask through it right
away rather than lazily.
