Chapter 7. Generic interrupt chip

Table of Contents

irq_gc_mask_set_bit — Mask chip via setting bit in mask register
irq_gc_mask_clr_bit — Mask chip via clearing bit in mask register
irq_gc_ack_set_bit — Ack pending interrupt via setting bit
irq_alloc_generic_chip — Allocate a generic chip and initialize it
irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips — Allocate generic chips for an irq domain
irq_get_domain_generic_chip — Get a pointer to the generic chip of a hw_irq
irq_setup_generic_chip — Setup a range of interrupts with a generic chip
irq_setup_alt_chip — Switch to alternative chip
irq_remove_generic_chip — Remove a chip

To avoid copies of identical implementations of IRQ chips the core provides a configurable generic interrupt chip implementation. Developers should check carefully whether the generic chip fits their needs before implementing the same functionality slightly differently themselves.
