[PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Make opal_event_shutdown() callable from IRQ context

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Date: 2017-09-29 03:59:05

In opal_event_shutdown() we free all the IRQs hanging off the
opal_event_irqchip. However it's not safe to do so if we're called
from IRQ context, because free_irq() wants to synchronise versus IRQ
context. This can lead to warnings and a stuck system.

For example from sysrq-b:

  Trying to free IRQ 17 from IRQ context!

We can avoid that by using disable_irq_nosync() rather than
free_irq(). Although it doesn't fully free the IRQ, it should be
sufficient when we're shutting down, particularly in an emergency.

Add an in_interrupt() check and use free_irq() when we're shutting
down normally. It's probably OK to use disable_irq_nosync() in that
case too, but for now it's safer to leave that behaviour as-is.
