Hi Devendra:    can you please tell me your kernel version?   SA_INTERRUPT is 
deprecated for many years. it is changed to be IRQF_DISABLED, which is also 
deprecated since 2.6.35.   in kernel 2.6.35, top half interrupt handler will be 
called with interrupts disabled,     and for SA_SHIRQ, it is changed to be 
IRQF_SHARED, you should check the return value of request_irq() to see whether 
your irq can be shared with former    registered irq which use the same int 
line. suppose you are registering irq19 for usb, and the BT module has 
reigstered irq19 with IRQF_SHARED flag, then you are lucky enough to reigter 
correctly for usb. opposite, if BT module registered irq19 without IRQF_SHARED 
flag, then BT will use irq19 alone, it means your register for usb will fail .  
Best Regards

Hi All,

If I register an ISR using both the flags SA_INTERRUPT and SA_SHIRQ set, what 
kind of interrupt line will I get a dedicated one or a shared one ?
the exact definition is

request_irq(dev->pci_dev->irq, soc_intr, SA_INTERRUPT | SA_SHIRQ,

                      MODULE_NAME, dev);

thanks in advance,
Devendra
