It does a wee bit more. Crucially, it contains the line: ret = chip->irq_set_affinity(data, mask, force); > But as per ARM GICv2 document in order to drive a interrupt to a > specific CPU we need to program GICD_ITARGETSRn register. > > But irq_set_affinity isn't writing to this register.Please correct me if > I'm wrong i did not find code for this register being updated in > irq_set_affinity flow. > So how affinity is being set for an IRQ line ? I would have though that a function name such as "gic_set_affinity" was clear enough? > If affinity was set successfully on what CPU does asm_do_IRQ run ? It runs on the CPU that the interrupt targets, I'd say. M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
