Okay, so I've just spent a small amount of time looking at this. I think the best place for this would be in *_get_virq(), using the same logic that selected a *_legacy or *_linear domain in the first place. The only thing the domain can test for is the 'type' of domain and the requested IRQ. This is where the issue lies. If a hwirq to virq conversion is requested, but a virq is passed (which happens in the non-DT case) a WARN() is triggered because the irq passed is bigger than first_irq + size. I think *_get_virq() should ensure that only a hwirq is passed to irq_create_mapping().quoted
Let me know if you had other ideas.I'd expect your driver to always pass a hwirq into _get_virq() here.
Okay, actually this isn't so easy. Currently we have: During DT boot: - No platform data is passed, hence no IRQ base for AB8500 is either - No IRQ base means we register a Linear IRQ Domain - MFD sees there is no base and leaves the IRQ resource as a hwirq - AB8500 child devices use *_get_virq() to convert the hwirq to a virq During non-DT boot: - Platform data is passed, which contains an IRQ base - If an IRQ base is requested we use it to register a Legacy IRQ Domain - MFD adds the IRQ base to the hwirq and registers it as a virq - AB8500 child devices use *_get_virq() to convert virq to virq - *ERROR* I guess my suggestion falls-back to placing logic in *_get_virq() to only call irq_create_mapping() when when !ab8500->irq_base. -- Lee Jones Linaro ST-Ericsson Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
