Re: [PATCH v4 05/19] irqchip: add nps Internal and external irqchips

[Noam Camus <noamc@ezchip.com>]

Hi Marc,

Please respond to Vineet last email.
I wish to close the IPI handling within my patch set.

Regards,
Noam

I understand but... see below

why not ? IPI is a hardware construct afterall.

Anyhow I looked in arch/arm and do_IPI/handle_IPI are the handlers. do_IPI is
called from asm, irq-gic.c calls handle_IPI. I can't seem to find an explicit
request_irq / request_percpu_irq for IPI irq ?

Following works for me, hopefully it is closer to 21st century code :-)

Subject: [PATCH] ARC: [intc-*] Do a domain lookup in primary handler for hwirq
 -> linux virq

The primary interrupt handler arch_do_IRQ() was passing hwirq as linux
virq to core code. This was fragile and worked so far as we only had legacy/linear
domains.

This came out of a rant by Marc Zyngier.
