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. COPYRIGHT

IRQ_DATA(9) Structures STRUCT IRQ_DATA(9) NAME
struct_irq_data - per irq and irq chip data passed down to chip functions SYNOPSIS
struct irq_data { unsigned int irq; unsigned long hwirq; unsigned int node; unsigned int state_use_accessors; struct irq_chip * chip; struct irq_domain * domain; void * handler_data; void * chip_data; struct msi_desc * msi_desc; cpumask_var_t affinity; }; MEMBERS
irq interrupt number hwirq hardware interrupt number, local to the interrupt domain node node index useful for balancing state_use_accessors status information for irq chip functions. Use accessor functions to deal with it chip low level interrupt hardware access domain Interrupt translation domain; responsible for mapping between hwirq number and linux irq number. handler_data per-IRQ data for the irq_chip methods chip_data platform-specific per-chip private data for the chip methods, to allow shared chip implementations msi_desc MSI descriptor affinity IRQ affinity on SMP DESCRIPTION
The fields here need to overlay the ones in irq_desc until we cleaned up the direct references and switched everything over to irq_data. AUTHORS
