The upper caller expects 0 for success. In drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c: case ACPI_HEST_NOTIFY_EXTERNAL: /* External interrupt vector is GSI */ rc = acpi_gsi_to_irq(generic->notify.vector, &ghes->irq); if (rc) { pr_err(GHES_PFX "Failed to map GSI to IRQ for generic hardware error source: %d\n", generic->header.source_id); goto err_edac_unreg; } Also the implementation of acpi_gsi_to_irq for X86 in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c also return 0 for success and -1 for failure. int acpi_gsi_to_irq(u32 gsi, unsigned int *irqp) { int rc, irq, trigger, polarity; if (acpi_irq_model == ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PIC) { *irqp = gsi; return 0; } rc = acpi_get_override_irq(gsi, &trigger, &polarity); if (rc == 0) { trigger = trigger ? ACPI_LEVEL_SENSITIVE : ACPI_EDGE_SENSITIVE; polarity = polarity ? ACPI_ACTIVE_LOW : ACPI_ACTIVE_HIGH; irq = acpi_register_gsi(NULL, gsi, trigger, polarity); if (irq >= 0) { *irqp = irq; return 0; } } return -1; } -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and contains information that is confidential and proprietary to Applied Micro Circuits Corporation or its subsidiaries.
