Just checked the source code of MIPS, the do_IRQ() is defined as a macro, so, I must move the macro to a C file, and also, there is a irq_enter...irq_exit block in a "big" function, I need to split it out. [...] /* * do_IRQ handles all normal device IRQ's (the special * SMP cross-CPU interrupts have their own specific * handlers). * * Ideally there should be away to get this into kernel/irq/handle.c to * avoid the overhead of a call for just a tiny function ... */ #define do_IRQ(irq) \ do { \ irq_enter(); \ __DO_IRQ_SMTC_HOOK(irq); \ generic_handle_irq(irq); \ irq_exit(); \ } while (0) [...] But The comment told us: do not make this tiny function be a standalone function, so??? the same to do_IRQ_no_affinity. and, about the following function, I need to split the irq_enter()...irq_exit() block out. void ipi_decode(struct smtc_ipi *pipi) { [...] switch (type_copy) { case SMTC_CLOCK_TICK: irq_enter(); kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu(irq, irq_to_desc(irq)); cd = &per_cpu(mips_clockevent_device, cpu); cd->event_handler(cd); irq_exit(); break; case LINUX_SMP_IPI: switch ((int)arg_copy) { case SMP_RESCHEDULE_YOURSELF: ipi_resched_interrupt(); break; case SMP_CALL_FUNCTION: ipi_call_interrupt(); break; [...] Regards, Wu Zhangjin
