Hence, use the IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD\nvariant so that with PREEMPT_RT kernels, the IRQ work is processed in\nhardirq context instead of being deferred to a thread which is required\nfor calling generic_handle_irq().\n\nOn non-PREEMPT_RT kernels, both init_irq_work() and IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()\nexecute in IRQ context, so this change has no functional impact for\nstandard kernel configurations.\n\n[treding@nvidia.com: miscellaneous cleanups]","published":"2026-05-08T14:16:39.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-21T13:18:55.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00122,"percentile":0.01991,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.12%).
