Under some conditions, irq sorting procedure used by INTC can go wrong resulting in a spurious irq getting reported. If this condition is not handled, it results in endless stream of: unexpected IRQ trap at vector 00 messages from ack_bad_irq() Handle the spurious interrupt condition in omap-intc driver to prevent this. Measurements using kernel function profiler on AM335x EVM running at 720MHz show that after this patch omap_intc_handle_irq() takes about 37.4us against 34us before this patch. Signed-off-by: Sekhar Nori <nsekhar@ti.com> --- v3: add unlikely(), add profiling information to commit message. v2: increment error irq counter, use pr_err_once, add a comment on tips to debug spurious irq condition. This patch results in a checkpatch warning about extern definition of irq_err_count, but looks like thats the prevalent method of accessing that counter. drivers/irqchip/irq-omap-intc.c | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.6.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
