[PATCH 2/2] iio: imu: bmi160: add IRQF_NO_THREAD to data-ready trigger IRQ
From: Runyu Xiao
Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 05:40:50 EST
bmi160_probe_trigger() registers iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll()
through devm_request_irq(), but it passes only irq_type and does not add
IRQF_NO_THREAD.
When the kernel is booted with forced IRQ threading, the parent IRQ can
otherwise be threaded by the IRQ core and the subsequent IIO trigger
child IRQ is dispatched from irq/... thread context instead of hardirq
context. Because the handler immediately pushes the event into
iio_trigger_poll(), this violates the hardirq-only IIO trigger helper
contract and can drive downstream trigger consumers through the wrong
execution context.
Add IRQF_NO_THREAD on top of irq_type when registering the BMI160 data-
ready trigger handler.
Build-tested by compiling bmi160_core.o.
No BMI160 hardware was available for end-to-end runtime testing on this
submission branch.
