The branch stable/13 has been updated by mhorne: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=fff5fec16b2ec42b0cb357fdbb675353e3126f21 commit fff5fec16b2ec42b0cb357fdbb675353e3126f21 Author: Mitchell Horne <mhorne@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2022-10-07 22:21:49 +0000 Commit: Mitchell Horne <mhorne@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-10-18 14:08:21 +0000 bus.h: rewrite comment describing intr_type Describe more clearly the purpose of these flags and where they are used. Remove grog's comment about revisiting the flags. At this point it does not make sense to change this long-standing API, especially in light of 2cf7870864ea ("Collapse interrupt thread priorities"). Give a better example of a bus modifying these flags; I did not find any existing instance where a bus changes the interrupt's type.
