Hi Marc,
Thanks for the fix.

Since d4a45c68dc81 ("irqdomain: Protect the linear revmap with RCU"),
any irqdomain lookup requires the RCU read lock to be held.

This assumes that the architecture code will be structured such as
irq_enter() will be called *before* the interrupt is looked up
in the irq domain. However, this isn't the case for MIPS, and a number
of drivers are structured to do it the other way around when handling
an interrupt in their root irqchip (secondary irqchips are OK by
construction).

This results in a RCU splat on a lockdep-enabled kernel when the kernel
takes an interrupt from idle, as reported by Guenter Roeck.

Alas I am still on 5.12-rc4, so can't test it out at the moment. Soon
after getting further on the modern kernel version I'll give this
patch a try on my hw and send a report.

It is likely that I'll send a pull request to Thomas with this
shortly, given that it affects existing systems and that this patch
does address the issue (see Guenter's report). We can always amend
things once you've had the time to upgrade your kernel to the latest.

Ok. I'll report the test status once my working branches are rebased on the
latest version. It will be done in a few weeks from now then after I
finished my current activity.

Thanks,
