Edge Triggered Interrupts with IO-APIC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

This is my first mail to this mailing list.

I am a bit confused about handling of edge triggered interrupts in 
IO-APIC. Why is it that the acknowledgement for edge triggered interrupts 
is done in ack_edge_ioapic_irq function where as that for level triggered 
interrupts is done in end_level_ioapic_irq function? Moreover the edge 
triggered interrupts are not always masked before acknowledging in 
ack_edge_ioapic_irq.  I don't understand why. Could someone please 
explain?


Thanks in advance.


Chaitanya
