Subject: [PATCH 4/7] irqchip/stm32-exti: forward irq_request_resources to parent

From: Pascal Paillet <[email protected]>

Enhance stm32-exti driver to forward request_resources and
release_resources_parent operations to parent.
Do not use irq_request_resources_parent because it returns
an error when the parent does not implement irq_request_resources.

Why do you need to reinvent the whole thing? Why isn't it just:

static int stm32_exti_h_request_resources(struct irq_data *data)
{
irq_chip_request_resources_parent(data);
return 0;
}

And this really deserves a comment. I also wonder whether we should
change this behaviour to always return 0.

Marc,
the stm32-exti sits in the middle of an irq hierarchy, exactly as the
"Interrupt remapping controller" in the section "Hierarchy IRQ domain"
in Documentation/core-api/irq/irq-domain.rst

When the "IOAPIC controller" runs a request_*_irq(), it causes calling
irq_request_resources() of its parent, if the parent implements it.
There is no automatic propagation in the hierarchy, so it's up to each
irq_chip in the hierarchy to propagate this call to its parent.
Using irq_chip_request_resources_parent() fits this use case.

At the end of the chain, the "Local APIC controller" is not obliged to
implement the 'optional' irq_request_resources(). And here starts the
pain:
irq_chip_request_resources_parent() returns -ENOSYS if the parent does
not implement the optional irq_request_resources().
So we need to filter-out the error for unimplemented function, e.g.:

static int stm32_exti_h_request_resources(struct irq_data *data)
{
int ret;
ret = irq_chip_request_resources_parent(data);
/* not an error if parent does not implement it */
return (ret == -ENOSYS) ? 0 : ret;
}

but then we cannot discriminate if -ENOSYS comes from missing optional
irq_request_resources() in parent, or from an error inside parent's
irq_request_resources(). That's why this patch reimplements the wheel.

Shuldn't irq_chip_request_resources_parent() return 0 when the parent
doesn't implements the optional method, as it's already the case inside
kernel/irq/manage.c:1390 static int irq_request_resources(struct
irq_desc *desc)
?

Regards,
Antonio
