Since d4a45c68dc ("irqdomain: Protect the linear revmap with RCU"),
any irqdomain lookup requires the RCU read lock to be held.
This assumes that the architecture code will be structured such as
irq_enter() will be called *before* the interrupt is looked up
in the irq domain. However, this isn't the case for MIPS, and a number
of drivers are structured to do it the other way around when handling
an interrupt in their root irqchip (secondary irqchips are OK by
construction).
This results in a RCU splat on a lockdep-enabled kernel when the kernel
takes an interrupt from idle, as reported by Guenter Roeck.
Note that this could have fired previously if any driver had used
tree-based irqdomain, which always had the RCU requirement.
To solve this, provide a MIPS-specific helper (do_domain_IRQ())
as the pendent of do_IRQ() that will do thing in the right order
(and maybe save some cycles in the process).
Ideally, MIPS would be moved over to using handle_domain_irq(),
but that's much more ambitious.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
