[PATCH 07/10] via-cuda: Use spinlock_irq_save/restore instead of enable/disable_irq
From: Finn Thain
Date: Thu Dec 01 2016 - 01:11:01 EST
The cuda_start() function uses spinlock_irq_save/restore for mutual
exclusion. Let's have cuda_poll() do the same when polling the VIA
interrupt.
The benefit to disabling local irqs when the interrupt is being polled
is that the interrupt handler now has the same timing properties
regardless of whether it is invoked normally or from cuda_poll().
This driver was written back when local irqs remained enabled during
execution of interrupt handlers and cuda_poll() was probably trying
to achieve the same effect by use of enable/disable_irq.

I wondered whether the use of enable/disable_irq was an attempt to reduce
interrupt latency given that VIA register accesses are slow. But if the
interrupt has not yet fired, only one VIA access will take place, which
imposes neglible latency anyway.
