Subject: genirq: Allow disabling of softirq processing in irq thread context
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:01:27 +0100
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.1-rt3.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.
