- Remove the populating of the tree from the revmap function as you already do - Move it to irq_create_mapping() for the normal case - For pre-existing interrupt, have the generic code that initializes the radix tree walk through all interrupts and setup the revmap for them. If that needs locking vs. concurrent irq_create_mapping, it's easy to use one of the available spinlocks for that.
And in fact, you may even be able to avoid GFP_ATOMIC completely here and switch it to GFP_KERNEL since irq_create_mapping() can sleep afaik, provided that you avoid the spinlocking. Ben.
