I think the domain code will set these.
It is my understanding that the domain code only does this for:

o irq_domain_add_legacy()

o irq_create_direct_mapping()

o irq_create_mapping()

We use none of those.  So I do it here.

If there is a better way, I am open to suggestions.
irq_create_mapping is called by irq_create_of_mapping() which is
in turn called by irq_of_parse_and-map().  irq_domain always
manages the hwirq and domain values.  Driver code cannot manipulate
them manually.

I really must be missing something.

Given:

1) I must have a mapping between hwirq and irq that I control so that
non-OF code using the OCTEON_IRQ_* constants continues to work.
Those defines are what you need to work to get rid of.

We are not starting from a blank slate here.  There is a lot of in-tree
code using these symbols.  We cannot make them disappear with wishful
thinking.

The first step is a switch to irq_domains using the existing mappings.

After we do that, I have patches to transition some drivers to use the
OF mapping via irq_domains.  After those are merged, we can work toward
getting rid of OCTEON_IRQ_*.  But I think it must be the last step in
the process, not the first.

2) irq_create_mapping() will allocate a random irq value if none is
already assigned to the hwirq.

Therefore: To avoid having random irq values assigned, I must manually
assign them.

So you should be using legacy domain if you need to maintain fixed hwirq
to linux irq numbers. "linear" is a bit confusing as it doesn't mean
linear 1:1 irq number assignment, but linear search.

My reading of Grant's code in linux-next directly contradicts this
statement.  There is no code in irqdomain.c, that I can see, that allows
me to have an arbitrary mapping of irq<-->  hwirq values.

There are 4 kinds of mappings available; legacy, linear, radix and nomap.


Yes, I had discovered that.

Ignore nomap and radix; you don't want them.

legacy maps a contiguous range of hwirq numbers to a contiguous range of
linux irq numbers.  To preserve the exising #define mappings but still add
DT support, this is the one that you want.

This is precisely the point that you and Rob seem to have missed in the last three or four back-and-forths about this.

Probably I have not explained well enough why legacy will not work.

We have three different interrupt controllers (although only one is currently in-tree). hwirq to irq mapping for them is more or less as follows:

irq                 hwirqCIU        hwirqCIU2      hwirqCIU3
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OCTEON_IRQ_USB0     56               81             934562
OCTEON_IRQ_TWSI     45              224             100543
OCTEON_IRQ_UART0    34              228               4572
.
.
.

Now what we notice here is that there is no possible 1:1 linearly increasing mapping possible for the irq and *all* three hwirq sets. We want a single binary that contains support for all three interrupt controllers, so the OCTEON_IRQ_* values have to be the same for all three interrupt controllers. Because of this, legacy mapping is *impossible*.

Since the possible ranges of the hwirq values is very large and quite sparse, probably the radix mapping will be required.

Also to support non-OF drivers and architecture specific code for the near future, I really think the existing IRQ values *must* be preserved.

Therefore, as I said above, we need a way for my SOC/board code to specify the mapping.

Perhaps we need to add an optional function to struct irq_domain_ops that would allow the default mapping to be overridden on a per irq_domain basis.

Otherwise, I think I will have to keep poking into the internal irq_domain data structures to get the mappings I want.

What do you think?
