Linus,

please pull the latest core/core branch from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git core-core-2022-05-23

up to: 75d8cce128c5: lib/irq_poll: Prevent softirq pending leak in irq_poll_cpu_dead()


A single update for irqpoll:

- Ensure that a raised soft interrupt is handled after pulling the
blk_cpu_iopoll backlog from a unplugged CPU. This prevents that the CPU
which runs that code reaches idle with soft interrupts pending.

Thanks,

tglx
