From
Hi Linus,

Sorry for the late reply, I was off last week.

Indeed, it would be better doing it like this.
Do you think I could even do this with two nested loops to reduce the
number of reg accesses?
It would look like this (just compiled, not tested):

static void stm32_irq_handler(struct irq_desc *desc)
{
struct irq_domain *domain = irq_desc_get_handler_data(desc);
struct irq_chip_generic *gc = domain->gc->gc[0];
struct irq_chip *chip = irq_desc_get_chip(desc);
unsigned long pending;
int n;

chained_irq_enter(chip, desc);

while ((pending = irq_reg_readl(gc, EXTI_PR))) {
for_each_set_bit(n, &pending, BITS_PER_LONG) {
generic_handle_irq(irq_find_mapping(domain, n));
}
}

chained_irq_exit(chip, desc);
}

Thanks,
Maxime
