From d3e17deb1790ee2123e9d11420be6411d1768b47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:08:15 +0100 Subject: genirq: Provide a lockdep helper Some irq chips need to call genirq functions for nested chips from their callbacks. That upsets lockdep. So they need to set a different lock class for those nested chips. Provide a helper function to avoid open access to irq_desc.
