H A D | msi.c | 0be8153c Tue May 08 07:14:30 CDT 2018 Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> genirq/msi: Allow level-triggered MSIs to be exposed by MSI providers
So far, MSIs have been used to signal edge-triggered interrupts, as a write is a good model for an edge (you can't "unwrite" something). On the other hand, routing zillions of wires in an SoC because you need level interrupts is a bit extreme.
People have come up with a variety of schemes to support this, which involves sending two messages: one to signal the interrupt, and one to clear it. Since the kernel cannot represent this, we've ended up with side-band mechanisms that are pretty awful.
Instead, let's acknoledge the requirement, and ensure that, under the right circumstances, the irq_compose_msg and irq_write_msg can take as a parameter an array of two messages instead of a pointer to a single one. We also add some checking that the compose method only clobbers the second message if the MSI domain has been created with the MSI_FLAG_LEVEL_CAPABLE flags.
