Hmmm...
The fundamental questionss are:
1) Who is supposed to be responsible for doing the rcu entry/exit?
2) Is it supposed to matter if this happens multiple times?
For (1), I'd generally expect that this is supposed to happen in the arch/common entry code, since that itself (or the irqchip driver) could depend on RCU, and if that's the case thatn handle_domain_irq() shouldn't need to call rcu_irq_enter(). That would be consistent with the way we handle all other exceptions.
For (2) I don't know whether the level of nesting is suppoosed to matter. I was under the impression it wasn't meant to matter in general, so I'm a little surprised that rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle() depends on a specific level of nesting.
From a glance it looks like this would cause rcu_sched_clock_irq() to skip setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED, and to not call invoke_rcu_core(), which doesn't sound right, at least...
Thomas, Paul, thoughts?
AFAICT, s390 will have a similar flow on its IRQ handling path, so if this is a real issue they'll be affected too.
Thanks, Mark.
