+Subject: [PATCH 8/9] tty/hvc: Use IRQF_SHARED for OPAL hvc consoles
+
+Commit 2def86a7200c
+("hvc: Convert to using interrupts instead of opal events")
+enabled the use of interrupts in the hvc_driver for OPAL platforms.
+However on machines with more than one hvc console, any console after
+the first will fail to register an interrupt handler in
+notifier_add_irq() since all consoles share the same IRQ number but do
+not set the IRQF_SHARED flag:
+
+[   51.179907] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 31. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs.
+00000000 (hvc_console)
+[   51.180010] hvc_open: request_irq failed with rc -16.
+
+This error propagates up to hvc_open() and the console is closed, but
+OPAL will still generate interrupts that are not handled, leading to
+rcu_sched stall warnings.
+
+Set IRQF_SHARED when calling request_irq, allowing additional consoles
+to start properly. This is only set for consoles handled by
+hvc_opal_probe(), leaving other types unaffected.
