SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] clocksource: exynos_mct: fix for sleeping in atomic ctx handling cpu hotplug notif.

> Solution:
> Clockevent irqs cannot be requested/freed every time cpu is
> hot-plugged/unplugged as CPU_STARTING/CPU_DYING notifications
> that signals hotplug or unplug events are sent with both preemption
> and local interrupts disabled. Since request_irq() may sleep it is
> moved to the initialization stage and performed for all possible
> cpus prior putting them online. Then, in the case of hotplug event
> the irq asociated with the given cpu will simply be enabled.
> Similarly on cpu unplug event the interrupt is not freed but just
> disabled.
>
> Note that after successful request_irq() call for a clockevent device
> associated to given cpu the requested irq is disabled (via disable_irq()).
> That is to make things symmetric as we expect hotplug event as a next
> thing (which will enable irq again). This should not pose any problems
> because at the time of requesting irq the clockevent device is not
> fully initialized yet, therefore should not produce interrupts at that point.
>
> For disabling an irq at cpu unplug notification disable_irq_nosync() is
> chosen which is a non-blocking function. This again shouldn't be a problem as
> prior sending CPU_DYING notification interrupts are migrated away

Hi Daniel and Thomas,

Do you have any comments on this patch? Could you pick it up?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
