Currently I do not use iio-trig-hrtimer, but if I remember correctly, the problem was also present there. Similar story, I think. On mainline hrtimers run in hardirq mode by default, whereas in RT they run in softirq mode by default. So we haven't see the issue in mainline. To fix this we need to explicitly specify that the IIO hrtimer always needs to run in hardirq mode by using the HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD flag. I'll send a patch. Do you want to apply your patch for mainline? In contrast to v5.4, IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ is already available there (moved to smp_types.h). Unfortunately I cannot test it on mainline for now, as my BSP stuff is not ported yet. Sounds like a plan :)

If I understand correctly, the kernel temporarily disables hardware interrupts
while hardware irq handlers are run. In case of the iio-trig-hrtim and
iio-trig-sysfs
interrupts, __handle_irq_event_percpu() is not called from a hardware irq
(where interrupts would be disabled), but from software.
Similar examples found here:

generic_handle_irq()")

Basically more info please! There is this series https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/6/433 which causes generic_handle_irq() to issue an warning if it is called with IRQs on, for a IRQ controller that can't handle it. But I'm not convinced this applies to the IIO code, since this is a purely virtual interrupt and is not interfering with any interrupt controller hardware.
