Hello,
(for the new readers of this thread: This is about using
u32 mask = 1 << (d->hwirq % 32);
instead of
u32 mask = 1 << (d->irq - gc->irq_base);
in the callbacks for the irq generic chip.)

I wonder if using hwirq % 32 should work everywhere where now d->irq -
gc->irqbase is used. Depending on d->hwirq and not d->irq has the upside
of working with non-legacy irq domains, too.
Looking at next-20130419 the affected functions
(irq_gc_mask_disable_reg, irq_gc_mask_set_bit, irq_gc_mask_clr_bit,
irq_gc_unmask_enable_reg, irq_gc_ack_set_bit, irq_gc_ack_clr_bit,
irq_gc_mask_disable_reg_and_ack, irq_gc_eoi, irq_gc_set_wake) are used
in:
arch/arm/mach-davinci/irq.c
arch/arm/mach-imx/avic.c
arch/arm/mach-imx/tzic.c
arch/arm/mach-omap2/irq.c
arch/arm/mach-omap2/prm_common.c
arch/arm/mach-s5p64x0/common.c
-> uses irq_base=101 for irq_alloc_generic_chip
arch/arm/plat-orion/gpio.c
-> depends on how orion_gpio_of_init is called. No callers
found.
arch/arm/plat-orion/irq.c
arch/arm/plat-samsung/irq-vic-timer.c
-> used for a single irq that isn't a multiple of 32
arch/arm/plat-samsung/s5p-irq-gpioint.c
-> would need % 8?
arch/mips/jz4740/gpio.c
-> JZ4740_IRQ_GPIO(0) != JZ4740_IRQ_GPIO0 ?
-> uses 56 + i * 32 as irqbase
arch/mips/jz4740/irq.c
-> uses 8 as irqbase
arch/sh/boards/mach-se/7343/irq.c
-> uses irq_base = irq_linear_revmap(se7343_irq_domain, 0) where
se7343_irq_domain is a linear domain.
AFAICT this is a bug. (After adding the domain they map all irqs
in increasing order which currently seems to guarantee that it
works. But IMHO it should use a legacy domain.)
arch/sh/boards/mach-se/7722/irq.c
as above.
drivers/gpio/gpio-mxc.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-mxs.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-sodaville.c
drivers/irqchip/irq-sirfsoc.c
drivers/mfd/jz4740-adc.c
-> uses platform_get_irq(pdev, 1) as irq_base for 5 irqs.
For the uncommented files using %32 instead of -gc->irq_base should
work.
So it seems I cannot just substitute how the mask is called.
The options I see are:
- introduce a new set of functions
Do you have a nice naming scheme?
irq_gc_unmask_enable_reg_hwirqmod32? Or should I rename the existing
ones to irq_gc_unmask_enable_reg_irqbaseoffset?
- use
u32 mask = 1 << (d->hwirq - gc->irq_base) % 32;
This is ugly but might work assuming irq_base == 0 for chips with irq
domain support and hwirq == irq for the others.
I'm not lucky with the options, so I'm looking forward to suggestions.
Best regards
Uwe
