Hi Marc,

Thanks for your reply, please find my comments below.

My understanding of "hierarchical irq domains" is that it is useful when there are multiple stacked interrupt controllers.
Also, the documentation says "the majority of drivers should use the linear map" (as opposed to the hierarchical one).

Maybe the definition of "interrupt controller" could benefit from some clarification, but my understanding is that, in our case, the GIC is the only interrupt controller (that's where the interrupt type must be set active_high/active_low/edge, etc.), in front of it, it happens to be a crossbar, that happens to be programmable, and that can be used to map any 128 line into any of 24 lines of the GIC (actually it is a many-to-many router, without any latching nor edge detection functionality)

Obviously, when the DT says that ethernet driver uses IRQ=120 (for example), the crossbar must be setup to route line 120 to one of the 24 lines going to the GIC.
So a minimum of interaction between the GIC driver (and/or the Linux IRQ framework) and the driver programming the crossbar is required, and that's what we are trying to achieve.

Does that makes sense?

That's the last log (it's stuck there) and I was asking how/where to enable more logs to be able to debug this.

Or there are no standardised logs and every person has to come up with its own debug logs?

Ok, thanks.

In the meanwhile, and in case irq-crossbar is not the good example for our case, would it be possible to get some guidance, examples, tips, on how to write a driver like the one described? ie:

[0..127] IRQ inputs => BIG_MUX => [0..23] outputs => [0..23] GIC inputs

BIG_MUX is a many-to-many router:
- 128x32bit registers to setup a route between any of the 128 input (IRQ_dev) and any of the 24 outputs (IRQ_gic)
- 4x32bit registers that read the RAW status of each of the 128 lines (no latching nor edge detection)
not sure how useful is to read such RAW status, because (naive hypothesis follows) Linux's IRQ framework could remember which IRQ_dev lines are routed to which IRQ_gic, and thus when handling IRQ_gic(x), Linux could just ask the drivers tied to it to check for interruptions.

Base code is either 4.7rc1 or 4.4.
The irq-crossbar code is not much different from TI, but you can find it attached.

Anything missing on the diff can be found on the original file:

Thanks in advance.
