Subject: undefined IRQs in request_irq
Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2002 10:39:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200209181039.47488.markc@mail.com> (raw)
I wrote a driver for our custom MPC860 platform that we've ported linux 2.4.19
to. When I insmod'd the driver it produced a kernel panic. I traced it to
request_irq() in ppc8xx_pic.c, where the code calls panic() if the requested
irq is anything other than IDEx_INTERRUPT. I fixed my problem by just adding
another case.
First, it seems extreme to me to crash the system instead of just refusing the
request. Am I missing something?
Second, a suggested improvement: How about having the individual board.h
files include #defines like ENABLE_SIU_LEVEL1, etc. that could be used like
the 'well known' IDEx_INTERRUPTs in request_irq()?
