This one is obviously broken and breaks booting on a whole bunch of
machines (including powermac's and thus my G5, it's never good when my
own machine breaks !).
Nice to see 3 SOB's and one Ack and nobody caught the obvious bug :-)

I have to run so no patch until tomorrow unless somebody beats me to it.

that patch came from -mm towards us shortly before the merge window.
Once we had it integrated Chris Friesen reported a boot hang on a G5,
and there's a fix pending for the bug, see it below.
Will send it to Linus expressly. Fortunately only a minority of Linux
users will ever run a box that uses set_irq_type() - but yes it needs to
be fixed.

that patch came from -mm towards us shortly before the merge window.
Once we had it integrated Chris Friesen reported a boot hang on a G5,
and there's a fix pending for the bug, see it below.
Will send it to Linus expressly. Fortunately only a minority of Linux
users will ever run a box that uses set_irq_type() - but yes it needs to
be fixed.

Subject: [PATCH] genirq: fix set_irq_type() when recording trigger type
In set_irq_type() we want to pass the type rather than the current
interrupt state.

As you saw, that one's fixed. Chris' patch unfortunately didn't
get integrated right away.
I'm a bit more curious about another potential issue though ... as
described in the patch comment:
- Make set_irq_type() usage match request_irq() usage:
* IRQ_TYPE_NONE should be a NOP; succeed, so irq_chip methods
won't have to handle that case any more (many do it wrong).
It might be a bit more accurate to say irq_chip.set_type() methods
are *inconsistent* in handling IRQ_TYPE_NONE. Previously the
set_irq_type() method would pass that down to irq_chip code.
I had observed two behaviors, but I thought I observed a third one
in some of the PowerPC code:
(1) ignore it ... matching request_irq() usage
(2) return an error ... nasty
(3) assign some irq_chip-specific trigger mode
That third behavior might cause a bit of trouble, but I think
it was only used during platform init. Someone more attuned
to PowerPC might want to check ...

Ok, I wrote a lot of the port of powerpc stuff to genirq so I supposed
I'm the person to do that sweep :-) I'll have a look tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up,
Cheers,
Ben.
