This is not 'nested' interrupt. After A ISR is finished, B ISR happen.
So A ISR and B ISR are consecutive interrupt, not nested interrupt.
To compare mask irq and no mask irq, Let's consider this situation:

1. 1000 consecutive violation happen, the time period between two
violation is 0.01 ms, so the total time is 10ms. (In 10ms, 1000
violation happen)
2. One ISR handle time is 1 ms, so in one ISR handler, 100 violation happen.

For mask irq solution, 10 ISR handler is trigger. For no mask irq
solution, 11 ISR handler is trigger.
I think these two solution have similar result, and no mask irq
solution print more information (If these 1000 violation is trigger by
20 different driver, no mask solution may show one more driver than
mask solution)
So I think it's not necessary to mask irq in irq handler.

Yes.

No.
