linux --中断管理 -- irq的自动探测机制

irq自动探测机制

如果一个设备的驱动程序无法确定它说管理的设备的软件中断号irq，此时设备驱动程序可以使用irq的自动探测机制来获取其正在使用的irq。

使用自动探测机制的条件

1. 内核与驱动，必须共同努力才能完成
2. 只限于非共享中断的情况

探测前，驱动的设备关联到了某个irq，但是因为设备驱动程序还不清楚是哪个irq，因此无法调用request_irq来向该irq安装中断处理例程，所以对应irq的action为空，下面是一个设备驱动程序的使用示例：

probe_irq_on和probe_irq_off是内核为驱动程序员设计的两个自动探测的接口函数

irq自动探测的原理描述

probe_irq_on

/**
 *	probe_irq_on	- begin an interrupt autodetect
 *
 *	Commence probing for an interrupt. The interrupts are scanned
 *	and a mask of potential interrupt lines is returned.
 *
 * 开始探测中断，扫描中断并返回潜在中断线的mask

probe_irq_off

/**

 *	@val: mask of potential interrupts (unused)
 *
 *	Scans the unused interrupt lines and returns the line which
 *	appears to have triggered the interrupt. If no interrupt was
 *	found then zero is returned. If more than one interrupt is
 *	found then minus the first candidate is returned to indicate
 *	their is doubt.
 *
 *	The interrupt probe logic state is returned to its previous
 *	value.
 *
 *	BUGS: When used in a module (which arguably shouldn't happen)
 *	nothing prevents two IRQ probe callers from overlapping. The
 *	results of this are non-optimal.
