However cpuidle_enter_state_coupled returned with interrupts disabled if
the cpuidle driver was registered without mask of coupled cpus.

Hi Krzysztof,

may be your patch is right but I would like to clarify one thing. This
is the cpuidle driver for exynos. AFAICT, the coupled states shouldn't
be enabled for this driver, so how did you face this issue ?

I faced this on cpuidle drivers on both Exynos and MSM. But these were
not mainline cpuidle drivers.

Ok, I think the root problem is the FLAG_COUPLED is set for the state but without the cpumask. I don't think we should handle that in the enter_couple function but in the registering of the device and fail to register the driver/device if the informations are not properly set.

In this case, we know the sanity checks are done one time at the registering time and we don't need to do that each time when entering in the enter coupled function. Hence the "if (!coupled)" disappear and no need to re-enable the irq.

Enable the interrupts also when early returning from
cpuidle_enter_state_coupled due to invalid coupled configuration.
