The example given in IRQ-domain.txt is Device --> IOAPIC -> Interrupt remapping Controller -> Local APIC -> CPU with an irq_domain for each interrupt controller. On my system I have: PCI-EP -> MSI controller -> System INTC -> GIC -> CPU The driver for System INTC is drivers/irqchip/irq-tango.c I think it has only one domain. For the GIC, drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c I see a call to irq_domain_create_linear() Is the handling of MSI different, and that is why we need two domains? (Sorry, I did not understand that part well.) When I looked at drivers/pci/host/pci-hyperv.c they seem to have a single pci_msi_create_irq_domain call, no call to domain_add or domain_create. And they have a single struct irq_chip. > You don't need to tell it anything about the number of interrupts you > manage.

My main issue is that in the ack callback, I was in the "wrong" domain, in that d->hwirq was not the MSI number. So I thought I needed a single irq_domain. Is there a function to map virq to the hwirq in any domain? Regards.
