Force-threaded interrupt handlers used to run with interrupts enabled, something which could lead to deadlocks in case a threaded handler shared a lock with code running in hard interrupt context (e.g. timer callbacks) and did not explicitly disable interrupts. Since commit81e2073c17("genirq: Disable interrupts for force threaded handlers") interrupt handlers always run with interrupts disabled on non-RT so that drivers no longer need to do handle forced threading ("threadirqs"). Drop the now obsolete workaround added by commita1227f3c10("usb: ehci: fix deadlock when threadirqs option is used").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
