Can interrupt be missed between interrupt disable/enable window?

[Vishwas Srivastava]

Kernel code heavily uses the spinlock primitives
spin_lock_irqsave/restore plus local interrupt disabling/ enabling, all
across the code.
Is there a possibility that the interrupts might get
missed in this small window

disable interrupts

interrupts is trigerred here

enable interrupts


specially when the irq
affinity has been set to the same core on which the
above mentioned code (disabling / enabling the irq's)
runs?
How the linux deals with this kind of scenario?
