I wouldn't read that as actually *disallowing* Interrupt Links for non-configurable interrupts. But regardless, I do understand that even if we assume Interrupt Links are allowed, there is firmware in the field that doesn't use them, and I think this patch is really targeted at *them*. > ARM platforms GIC configurations do not allow dynamic IRQ routing, > since routing is statically laid out at synthesis time; therefore PCI > interrupt links cannot be used for PCI legacy IRQ descriptions in the > _PRT on ARM systems. > > On the other hand, current core ACPI code handling PCI legacy IRQs > consider IRQ trigger/polarity for static _PRT entries as level-low. > > On ARM systems with a GIC interrupt controller and corresponding > ACPI interrupt model this does not work in that GIC interrupt > controller is only capable of handling level interrupts whose > polarity is high (for PCI legacy IRQs - that are level-low by > specification - this means that the legacy IRQs are inverted before > reaching the interrupt controller pin), resulting in IRQ allocation > failures such as: > > genirq: Setting trigger mode 8 for irq 18 failed (gic_set_type+0x0/0x48) > > Change the default polarity for PCI legacy IRQs to high on systems > booting wth ACPI on platforms with a GIC interrupt controller model, > fixing the discrepancy between specification and HW behaviour. > > Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Pieralisi <lorenzo.pieralisi@xxxxxxx> > Acked-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx> > Tested-by: Duc Dang <dhdang@xxxxxxx> > Cc: Punit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@xxxxxxx> > Cc: Duc Dang <dhdang@xxxxxxx> > Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Sinan Kaya <okaya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: "Rafael J.
