This RFC series attempts to implement a generic IPI layer for reserving and
sending IPI.
It is based on the discussion in this link
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/26/713
This series deals with points #1 and #2 only. Since I'm not the irq expert, I'm
hoping this
series will give me early feedback and drive the discussion further about any
potential
tricky points.
I tried to keep changes clean and small, but since this is just an RFC I might
have missed
few things.
Thomas I hope I didn't stray far from what you had in mind :-)
My only testing so far is having SMP linux booting.
Qais Yousef (6):
irqdomain: add new IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAGS_IPI
irqdomain: add a new send_ipi() to irq_domain_ops
irqdomain: add struct irq_hwcfg and helper functions
irq: add a new generic IPI handling code to irq core
irqchip: mips-gic: add a IPI hierarchy domain
irqchip: mips-gic: use the new generic IPI API
