From 6102aad8e9b0bb1f5cbe6089c95fee79680a35c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:01:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 157/365] genirq: Allow disabling of softirq processing in irq thread context The processing of softirqs in irq thread context is a performance gain for the non-rt workloads of a system, but it's counterproductive for interrupts which are explicitely related to the realtime workload. Allow such interrupts to prevent softirq processing in their thread context.
