Hi Alex,

I will send a new version later today.


Great, thanks, I'll make sure it lands in -fixes.

Sorry it did not get merged sooner.

Thanks,

Alex

When arch_local_irq_restore() is called with flags indicating irqs

implementation based on csr_set() function only sets SR_IE bit of
CSR_STATUS when SR_IE bit of flags is high and does nothing when
SR_IE bit of flags is low.

This commit supplies csr clear operation when calling irq restore
function with flags indicating irq disabled.

Unless I'm missing something, the original version is correct:
local_irq_restore() must be paired with a local_irq_save(), so we can
only get here with interrupts disabled.
Yes, it is correct if local_irq_save() is called when irq is enabled before.
The flags returned will be SR_IE. And it is safe to call local_irq_restore()
with flag SR_IE in any case.

However, if local_irq_save() is called when irq is disabled. The SR_IE bit of
flag returned is clear. If some code between local_irq_save() and
local_irq_restore() reenables irq, causing the SR_IE bit of CSR_STATUS
back to 1, then local_irq_restore() can not restore irq status back to disabled.

Here is an example in existing driver (may not belong to riscv arch) in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8723ae/hw.c. The pseudo code
behaves like:

int rtl8723e_hw_init(struct ieee80211_hw *hw)
{
int err;
unsigned long flags;
...
local_irq_save_flags(flags);
local_irq_enable();
...
local_irq_restore(flags);
...
return err;
}


}

#endif /* _ASM_RISCV_IRQFLAGS_H */
A gentle ping.

This got lost but this is still correct and needed.

Do you think you can respin a new version? Otherwise, I'll do it and
keep you SoB.

Thanks,

Alex
