DISABLE_IRQ(9)							Hardware Interfaces						    DISABLE_IRQ(9)

NAME

       disable_irq - disable an irq and wait for completion

SYNOPSIS

       void disable_irq(unsigned int irq);

ARGUMENTS

       irq
	   Interrupt to disable

DESCRIPTION

       Disable the selected interrupt line. Enables and Disables are nested. This function waits for any pending IRQ handlers for this interrupt
       to complete before returning. If you use this function while holding a resource the IRQ handler may need you will deadlock.

       This function may be called - with care - from IRQ context.
