This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    PCI: host: Mark PCIe/PCI (MSI) IRQ cascade handlers as IRQF_NO_THREAD

to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue

commit 8ff0ef996ca00028519c70e8d51d32bd37eb51dc upstream.

On -RT and if kernel is booting with "threadirqs" cmd line parameter,
PCIe/PCI (MSI) IRQ cascade handlers (like dra7xx_pcie_msi_irq_handler())
will be forced threaded and, as result, will generate warnings like this:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 82 at kernel/irq/handle.c:150 handle_irq_event_percpu+0x14c/0x174()
  irq 460 handler irq_default_primary_handler+0x0/0x14 enabled interrupts
  Backtrace:
   (warn_slowpath_common) from (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x38/0x40)
   (warn_slowpath_fmt) from (handle_irq_event_percpu+0x14c/0x174)
   (handle_irq_event_percpu) from (handle_irq_event+0x84/0xb8)
   (handle_irq_event) from (handle_simple_irq+0x90/0x118)
   (handle_simple_irq) from (generic_handle_irq+0x30/0x44)
   (generic_handle_irq) from (dra7xx_pcie_msi_irq_handler+0x7c/0x8c)
   (dra7xx_pcie_msi_irq_handler) from (irq_forced_thread_fn+0x28/0x5c)
   (irq_forced_thread_fn) from (irq_thread+0x128/0x204)

This happens because all of them invoke generic_handle_irq() from the
requested handler.  generic_handle_irq() grabs raw_locks and thus needs to
run in raw-IRQ context.

This issue was originally reproduced on TI dra7-evem, but, as was
identified during discussion [1], other hosts can also suffer from this
issue.  Fix all them at once by marking PCIe/PCI (MSI) IRQ cascade handlers
IRQF_NO_THREAD explicitly.
