From d3696cf7370583b272ff2f09524c9d37a83c71b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2006 23:41:59 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Scream but don't die if we receive an unexpected irq Due to code bugs or misbehaving hardware it is possible that we can receive an interrupt that we have not mapped into a linux irq. Calling BUG when that happens is very rude, and if the problem is mild enough prevents anything else from getting done. So instead of calling BUG just scream loudly about the problem and continue running. We don't have enough knowledge to know which interrupt triggered this behavior so we don't acknowledge it. This will likely prevent a recurrence of the problem by jamming up the works with an unacknowledged interrupt. If the interrupt was something important it is quite possible that nothing productive will happen past this point. But it is now at least possible to keep working if the kernel can survive without the interrupt we dropped on the floor. Solutions like irqpoll should generally make dropped irqs non-fatal.
