SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH kernel 1/2] irq: Add reference counting to IRQ mappings

That's quite interesting, as I was about to revive a patch series that
rework the irqdomain subsystem to directly cache irq_desc instead of
raw interrupt numbers. And for that, I needed some form of
refcounting...

How does this work with hierarchical domains? Each domain should
contribute as a reference on the irq_desc. But if you got here,
it means the refcount has already dropped to 0.

So either there is nothing to free here, or you don't track the
references implied by the hierarchy. I suspect the latter.

My worry with this is that there is probably a significant amount of
code out there that relies on multiple calls to irq_create_mapping()
with the same parameters not to have any side effects. They would
expect a subsequent irq_dispose_mapping() to drop the translation
altogether, and that's obviously not the case here.

Have you audited the various call sites to see what could break?

Thanks,
