The function xnarch_irq_enable seems to be called in only two functions,
xintr_enable and xnintr_irq_handler when the flag XN_ISR_ENABLE is set.
In any case, since I am not sure if this has to be done at the Adeos
level or in Xenomai, we will wait for Philippe to come back and decide.
->enable() and ->end() all mixed up illustrates a silly x86 bias I once
had. We do need to differentiate the mere enabling from the IRQ epilogue
at PIC level since Linux does it - i.e. we don't want to change the
semantics here.
I would go for adding xnarch_end_irq -> rthal_irq_end to stick with the
Linux naming scheme, and have the proper epilogue done from there on a
per-arch basis.
Current uses of xnarch_enable_irq() should be reserved to the
non-epilogue case, like xnintr_enable() i.e. forcibly unmasking the IRQ
source at PIC level outside of any ISR context for such interrupt (*).
XN_ISR_ENABLE would trigger a call to xnarch_end_irq, instead of
xnarch_enable_irq. I see no reason for this fix to leak to the Adeos
layer, since the HAL already controls the way interrupts are ended
actually; it just does it improperly on some platforms.
(*) Jan, does rtdm_irq_enable() have the same meaning, or is it intended
to be used from the ISR too in order to revalidate the source at PIC level?
Nope, rtdm_irq_enable() was never intended to re-enable an IRQ line
after an interrupt, and the documentation does not suggest this either.
I see no problem here.
Ok, so no change would be needed here to implement what's described above.
