[PATCH] alpha: Fix arch_irqs_disabled_flags() to handle intermediate IPL levels

From: Matt Turner

Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 11:14:10 EST


arch_irqs_disabled_flags() only considered IRQs disabled when IPL was
at IPL_MAX (7). However, PALcode enters interrupt handlers at
intermediate IPL levels (e.g., IPL_DEV1=4, IPL_TIMER=5), which also
have interrupts disabled at that level and below.

This caused a lockdep warning when TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT was enabled:
lockdep_hardirqs_off() calls irqs_disabled() inside an interrupt
handler and expects it to return true, but the intermediate IPL didn't
match the IPL_MAX check.

Fix by treating any IPL above IPL_MIN as interrupts disabled.
