The virqs are created by irq_create_mapping() or irq_of_parse_and_map(). It is preferred to use the latter, with the interrupts expressed in the device tree. If that doesn't answer your question, could you be more specific about what you're trying to find out, and/or what aspect of the existing cascaded irq controllers (e.g. sysdev/qe_lib/qe_ic.c, platforms/82xx/pq2ads-pci-pic.c) you want clarfication of? Do you want to know what to pass to request_irq, how to turn virqs back into hwirqs in the cascade driver, or something else? -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
