linux disable_irq() and disable_irq_nosync()

 

1.在中断调用disable_irq();会导致cpu stuck，这个其实就是中断的禁忌，不能被调度或者挂起，而disable_irq()不符合这个条件，
所以要慎用，最好不要用，除非你能保证它不被挂起，不过这是不可能的。
２.在中断可以调用disable_irq_nosync()这个函数不会pend;


实现现象，多核cpu, cpu2被lock，watchdog被触发重启。

函数功能介绍：
/**
 * disable_irq_nosync - disable an irq without waiting
 * @irq: Interrupt to disable
 *
 * Disable the selected interrupt line.  Disables and Enables are
 * nested.
 * Unlike disable_irq(), this function does not ensure existing
 * instances of the IRQ handler have completed before returning.
 *
 * This function may be called from IRQ context.
 */
这个不会等handler完成就返回，所以不会deadlock
void disable_irq_nosync(unsigned int irq)
{
__disable_irq_nosync(irq);
}


/**
 * disable_irq - disable an irq and wait for completion
 * @irq: Interrupt to disable
 *
 * Disable the selected interrupt line.  Enables and Disables are
 * nested.
 * This function waits for any pending IRQ handlers for this interrupt
 * to complete before returning. If you use this function while
 * holding a resource the IRQ handler may need you will deadlock.
 *
 * This function may be called - with care - from IRQ context.
 */
这个会等handler完成返回，如果在中断中使用,那么就会必然会deadlock
void disable_irq(unsigned int irq)
{
if (!__disable_irq_nosync(irq))
synchronize_irq(irq);
}
