Do you think I could even do this with two nested loops to reduce the number of reg accesses? It would look like this (just compiled, not tested): static void stm32_irq_handler(struct irq_desc *desc) { struct irq_domain *domain = irq_desc_get_handler_data(desc); struct irq_chip_generic *gc = domain->gc->gc[0]; struct irq_chip *chip = irq_desc_get_chip(desc); unsigned long pending; int n; chained_irq_enter(chip, desc); while ((pending = irq_reg_readl(gc, EXTI_PR))) { for_each_set_bit(n, &pending, BITS_PER_LONG) { generic_handle_irq(irq_find_mapping(domain, n)); } } chained_irq_exit(chip, desc); } Thanks, Maxime -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
