Subject: [PATCH v4 2/7] genirq: Allow global interrupts in request_nmi()
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 19:16:24 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112031629.396819-3-mrungta@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112031629.396819-1-mrungta@google.com>
request_nmi() currently requires IRQF_PERCPU and forces
IRQF_NOBALANCING. For global system-wide interrupts (such as watchdog
pretimeout SPIs), forcing IRQF_PERCPU sets IRQD_PER_CPU and prevents CPU
hotplug teardown (migrate_one_irq()) from migrating the interrupt off an
offline CPU.
Now that in-flight NMI handlers are synchronized via
__synchronize_nmi(), drop the mandatory IRQF_PERCPU check and stop
forcing IRQF_NOBALANCING in request_nmi() (existing per-CPU callers
already pass both flags explicitly). Also check irq_is_nmi(desc) in
irq_seq_show() (matching kstat_irqs_desc() from commit c09cb1293523
("genirq: Update irq stats from NMI handlers")) so /proc/interrupts
emits per-CPU counts for non-IRQF_PERCPU NMIs.
