This is a followup to help address one of the omissions in the threaded IRQ patches (v2) posted recently. To recap, those provided a quickcheck() routine that could wake an irq thread, and a way to register a handler using that mechanism.
This addresses an orthogonal problem: given some thread demultiplexing the subsidiary IRQs reported to some top-level interrupt, how can that kick in flow handlers chaining to the subsidiary IRQs' handlers?
The answer here is more or less as suggested by Thomas: using handle_threaded_irq(), a flow handler which doesn't use handle_IRQ_event() since that doesn't much like being called from thread context, at least when lockdep is active.
These two patches:
- add handle_threaded_irq() flow handler; - kick it in for some twl4030 code
Tested on 2.6.29-rc8 code, both with and without the v2 irqthread patches.
