Subject: [patch 2.6.18] genirq: remove oops with fasteoi irq_chip descriptors
Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 06:43:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200609220643.07750.david-b@pacbell.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200609220641.58938.david-b@pacbell.net>

The irq handler code can oops when used with an irq_chip with just
enable/disable/eoi methods, appropriate for handle_fasteoi_irq(),
either by (a) uninstalling, or (b) using it with a chained handler.

The problem was that the original code expected there would always
be mask/unmask/ack methods, and the fix is to instead use methods
which are always present and which more closely correspond to the
flag manipulation being done.
