genirq: Prevent nested thread vs synchronize_hardirq() deadlock
There is a possibility of deadlock if synchronize_hardirq() is called when the nested threaded interrupt is active. The following scenario was observed on a uniprocessor PREEMPT_NONE system: Thread 1 Thread 2 handle_nested_thread() Set INPROGRESS Call ->thread_fn() thread_fn goes to sleep free_irq() __synchronize_hardirq() Busy-loop forever waiting for INPROGRESS to be cleared The INPROGRESS flag is only supposed to be used for hard interrupt handlers. Remove the incorrect usage in the nested threaded interrupt case and instead re-use the threads_active / wait_for_threads mechanism to wait for nested threaded interrupts to complete.
