Subject: genirq: Allow disabling of softirq processing in irq thread context From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:01:27 +0100 Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.18/older/patches-4.18.7-rt5.tar.xz 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.
