Subject: irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ee5f80a993539490a07477ff2526bf62c503fbb4;p=linux-beck.git

irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check

Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups

The tick idle check which is called from irq_enter() was run before
the call to __irq_enter() which did not set the in_interrupt() bits in
preempt_count. That way the raise of a softirq woke up softirqd for
nothing as the softirq was handled on return from interrupt.

Call __irq_enter() before calling into the tick idle check code.
