[PATCH V2] dmaengine: idxd: Remove unnecessary synchronize_irq() before free_irq()
Posted by cgel.zte@gmail.com 3 years, 11 months ago
From: Minghao Chi <chi.minghao@zte.com.cn>

Calling synchronize_irq() right before free_irq() is quite useless. On one
hand the IRQ can easily fire again before free_irq() is entered, on the
other hand free_irq() itself calls synchronize_irq() internally (in a race
condition free way), before any state associated with the IRQ is freed.

You should not have missed Dave's ack. I have added that and pushed
