[PATCH v2] hwmon: (gpio-fan) return IRQ_HANDLED from the shared alarm IRQ handler
From: Cong Nguyen
Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 06:42:07 EST
fan_alarm_irq_handler() always schedules alarm_work but returns IRQ_NONE,
so the kernel treats every alarm interrupt as unhandled. On a shared
line that risks the whole line being disabled as spurious.
v1 just fixed that, but it was still IRQF_SHARED, and always returning
IRQ_HANDLED there defeats spurious-interrupt detection for the line --
if the interrupt ever fires without a real event, nothing catches it,
and a fault could spin the CPU in the handler.
Sashiko flagged this in v1, and Guenter confirmed: this interrupt must
not be shared. So v2 drops IRQF_SHARED too.
Fixes: d6fe1360f42e ("hwmon: add generic GPIO fan driver")

Changes in v2:
- Also drop IRQF_SHARED (Guenter): always returning IRQ_HANDLED on a
still-shared line defeats spurious-interrupt detection for it. v2
is a full patch with both fixes, not a delta on top of v1.
