This is the first cut at hooking up my Octeon port to the irq_domain things.
The Octeon specific patches are part of a larger set, and will need to
be applied with that set, the first patch is stand-alone.
The basic problem being solved taken from one of my other e-mails:
Unfortunately, although a good idea, kernel/irq/irqdomain.c makes a
bunch of assumptions that don't hold for Octeon. We may be able to
improve it so that it flexible enough to suit us.
Here are the problems I see:
1) It is assumed that there is some sort of linear correspondence
between 'hwirq' and 'irq', and that the range of valid values is
contiguous.
2) It is assumed that the concepts of nr_irq, irq_base and
hwirq_base have easy to determine values and you can do iteration
over their ranges by adding indexes to the bases.
I still think this is the wrong approach.
Are the gpio interrupts the source of your problem here?
No.
That's how I read it.
Take a look at Patch 2/2, since the GPIO irqs are contiguous over both
irq and hwirq numbers, I use the existing infrastructure with no
modifications.
You have 16 GPIO irqs directly connected into lines on your
primary interrupt controller which has 128 lines. So for a Linux irq
number, you want to translate to a GPIO hwirq number and/or a CIU hwirq
number. Trying to have 2 hwirq mappings for 1 Linux irq number just
won't work. It seems to me you should use a chained handler here because
you need to process the interrupt at both the primary ctrlr and gpio
ctrlr levels.
All moot as it is based on the false predicate of GPIO irqs being the
problem.
The root of the problem are all of the irqs that are not GPIO. I have:
o irq numbers currently in the range [9..196], with holes for any given
SOC/Board implementation. SOCs currently in development will have
additional irq numbers with even more holes.
o Two different interrupt controllers. One with 128 lines, the other
with 512 or more lines, both sparsely populated. The mapping of hwirq
to irq is done at boot time based on the hardware the kernel image is
running on. Note that the second type of irq controller support is not
in the kernel.org kernel, but it exists, and I intend on getting support
for it merged ASAP.
At a minimum the loop in irq_domain_add() where we iterate over a linear
range of irq numbers is not flexible enough. You may not like my
iterator functions in irq_domain_ops, but we need to provide something
better than the irq_domain_for_each_irq() macro.
