genirq: Fix race in register_irq_proc()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 95c2b17 upstream.

Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first
added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created.  In the case of
a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory.  This
race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to
hit with async probing.
