There is a race condition in the threaded IRQ handler code for oneshot interrupts that may lead to disabling an IRQ indefinitely. IRQs are masked before calling the hard-irq handler and are unmasked only after the soft-irq handler has been run. Thus if the hard-irq handler returns IRQ_HANDLED instead of IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, meaning the soft-irq will not be called, the interrupt will remain masked forever. This can happen due to a short pulse on the interrupt line, that triggers the interrupt logic, but goes undetected by the hard-irq handler. The problem can be reproduced with the TSC2007 touch controller driver that uses ONESHOT interrupts. The problem arises also with interrupt controllers that latch a level triggered IRQ until it is acknowledged (like the i.MX28 does). In this case the IRQ status bit will remain asserted after the soft-irq finishes and retrigger the interrupt while the interrupt line is already deasserted.
