No, we can't. We can only do that if the interrupt is not shared.

Assume the following scenario:

request_irq(irq, handler, IRQF_SHARED, "devA", devidA);

In case of force threading that sets the oneshot flag for the irq
descriptor.

Now the sdhci driver is initialized

request_thread_irq(irq, handler, thandler, IRQF_SHARED,
"sdhci", devidSDHCI);

The oneshot flag sticks and you run into exactly the same issue as
now.

Shared interrupts are a major pain, but we have to deal with them.

I'm working on a solution for that issue.

Thanks,

tglx
