It appears that some HW is ugly enough that not all the interrupts connected to a particular interrupt controller end up with the same hierarchy depth (some of them are terminated early). This leaves the irqchip hacker with only two choices, both equally bad: - create discrete domain chains, one for each "hierarchy depth", which is very hard to maintain - create fake hierarchy levels for the shallow paths, leading to all kind of problems (what are the safe hwirq values for these fake levels?) Implement the ability to cut short a single interrupt hierarchy from a level marked as being disconnected by using the new irq_domain_disconnect_hierarchy() helper. The irqdomain allocation code will then perform the trimming Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
