Seems those who broke it are too busy to care.
Linus, can you please apply directly?
------------> Subject: ACPI: Revert 6fe0d06 ("ACPI: Make ACPI interrupt threaded") From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Paul bisected this regression to 6fe0d06 ("ACPI: Make ACPI interrupt threaded").
The conversion was done blindly and is wrong, as it does not provide a primary handler to disable the level type irq on the device level. Neither does it set the IRQF_ONESHOT flag which handles that at the irq line level. This can't be done as the interrupt might be shared, though we might extend the core to force it.
So an interrupt on this line will wake up the thread, but immediately unmask the irq after that. Due to the interrupt being level type the hardware interrupt is raised over and over and prevents the irq thread from handling it. Fail.
request_irq() unfortunately does not refuse such a request and the patch was obviously never tested with real interrupts.
