Subject: About irq_create_affinity_masks() for a platform device driver
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2020 10:09:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <84a9411b-4ae3-1928-3d35-1666f2687ec8@huawei.com> (raw)

Hi Thomas,

A question about the function in the $subject:

Would there be any issue with a SCSI platform device driver referencing 
this function?

So I have a multi-queue platform device, and I want to spread interrupts 
over all possible CPUs, just like we can do for PCI MSI vectors. This 
topic was touched on in [0].

And, if so it's ok, could we export that same symbol?

Cheers,
John
