You mean here do not introduce irq_alloc_descs_from, but rather use irq_alloc_descs() directly? > > +int irq_can_alloc_irqs(unsigned int from, unsigned int cnt) > > +{ > > + unsigned int start; > > + int ret = 0; > > + > > + if (!cnt) > > + return -EINVAL; > > + > > + mutex_lock(&sparse_irq_lock); > > + start = bitmap_find_next_zero_area(allocated_irqs, IRQ_BITMAP_BITS, > > + from, cnt, 0); > > + mutex_unlock(&sparse_irq_lock); > > + if (start + cnt > nr_irqs) > > + ret = irq_can_expand_nr_irqs(start + cnt); > > + return ret; > > How is this supposed to work wrt. races? It is not supposed. Just a quick check if there are enough bits before an attempt to allocate memory in __create_irqs(). Otherwise __create_irqs() might allocate irq_cfg's, then realize there are no bits, then deallocate and fail. But strictly speaking, irq_can_alloc_irqs() is unnecessary. -- Regards, Alexander Gordeev agordeev@xxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
