The generic IRQ handling code ensures that an interrupt handler runs with its interrupt masked or disabled. If the interrupt is level-triggered, the interrupt handler must tell its device to stop asserting the interrupt before returning. If it doesn't, we will immediately take the interrupt again when the handler returns and the generic code unmasks the interrupt. The driver doesn't know whether its interrupt is edge- or level-triggered, so it must clear its interrupt source directly in its interrupt handler. Previously we cleared the DPC interrupt status in the bottom half, i.e., in deferred work, which can cause an interrupt storm if the DPC interrupt happens to be level-triggered, e.g., if we're using INTx instead of MSI. Clear the DPC interrupt status bit in the interrupt handler, not in the deferred work.

README
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.
