Subject: [patch V3 08/14] genirq: Expose nr_irqs in core code
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:57:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326215036.783295780@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260326214345.019130211@kernel.org
... to avoid function calls in the core code to retrieve the maximum number
of interrupts.
Rename it to 'total_nr_irqs' as 'nr_irqs' is too generic and fix up the
'nr_irqs' reference in the related GDB script as well.
