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 commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
