2015-10-30Document that IRQ_NONE should be returned when IRQ not actually handledDavid Woodhouse1-1/+1
Our IRQ storm detection works when an interrupt handler returns IRQ_NONE for thousands of consecutive interrupts in a second. It doesn't hurt to occasionally return IRQ_NONE when the interrupt is actually genuine. Drivers should only be returning IRQ_HANDLED if they have actually *done* something to stop an interrupt from happening — it doesn't just mean "this really *was* my device".

2013-11-19genirq: Correct fuzzy and fragile IRQ_RETVAL() definitionGeert Uytterhoeven1-1/+1
commit bedd30d986a0 ("genirq: make irqreturn_t an enum") blindly replaced "0" by "IRQ_NONE" in the "IRQ_RETVAL(x)" macro definition. However, as "x" is a condition, "0" meant "boolean false", not an irqreturn_t value. All of this worked, and kept working after the addition of IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, as - both "boolean false" and "IRQ_NONE" are "0" (for the comparison), - "boolean true" and "boolean false" nicely map to the correct values of "IRQ_HANDLED" and "IRQ_NONE" (for the return value). Correct the macro definition for clarity and future-proofness.

2011-06-03irq: Handle spurios irq detection for threaded irqsSebastian Andrzej Siewior1-3/+3
The detection of spurios interrupts is currently limited to first level handler. In force-threaded mode we never notice if the threaded irq does not feel responsible. This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards it to the spurious detector. If the primary handler returns only IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets called again from the threaded handler.

2009-03-24genirq: add threaded interrupt handler supportThomas Gleixner1-0/+2
Add support for threaded interrupt handlers: A device driver can request that its main interrupt handler runs in a thread. To achive this the device driver requests the interrupt with request_threaded_irq() and provides additionally to the handler a thread function. The handler function is called in hard interrupt context and needs to check whether the interrupt originated from the device. If the interrupt originated from the device then the handler can either return IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. IRQ_HANDLED is returned when no further action is required. IRQ_WAKE_THREAD causes the genirq code to invoke the threaded (main) handler. When IRQ_WAKE_THREAD is returned handler must have disabled the interrupt on the device level. This is mandatory for shared interrupt handlers, but we need to do it as well for obscure x86 hardware where disabling an interrupt on the IO_APIC level redirects the interrupt to the legacy PIC interrupt lines.

2006-06-23[PATCH] adjust handle_IRR_event() return typeJan Beulich1-0/+25
Correct the return type of handle_IRQ_event() (inconsistency noticed during Xen development), and remove redundant declarations. The return type adjustment required breaking out the definition of irqreturn_t into a separate header, in order to satisfy current include order dependencies.
