According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
the "#interrupt-cells" property of an "interrupt-controller" is used
to define the number of cells needed to specify a single interrupt.

A commonly used variant is two cell on which #interrupt-cells = <2>
and the first cell defines the index of the interrupt in the controller
and the second cell is used to specify any of the following flags:

    - bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags
        1 = low-to-high edge triggered
        2 = high-to-low edge triggered
        4 = active high level-sensitive
        8 = active low level-sensitive

An example of an interrupt controller which use the two cell format is
the OMAP GPIO controller that allows GPIO lines to be used as IRQ
(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio-omap.txt)

But setting #interrupt-cells = <2> on the OMAP GPIO device node and
specifying the GPIO-IRQ type and level flags on the second cell does not
store this value on the populated IORESOURCE_IRQ struct resource.

This is because when using an IRQ from an interrupt controller and
setting both cells (e.g:)

	interrupt-parent = <&gpio6>;
	interrupts = <16 8>;

A call to of_irq_to_resource() is made and this function calls to
irq_of_parse_and_map_type() to get the virtual IRQ mapped to the real
index for this interrupt controller. This IRQ number is populated on
the struct resource:

int of_irq_to_resource(struct device_node *dev, int index, struct resource *r)
{
	int irq = irq_of_parse_and_map(dev, index);
	..
	r->start = r->end = irq;
}

irq_of_parse_and_map() calls to irq_create_of_mapping() which calls to
the correct xlate function handler according to "#interrupt-cells"
(irq_domain_xlate_onecell or irq_domain_xlate_twocell) and to
irq_set_irq_type() to set the IRQ type.

But the type is never returned so it can't be saved on the IRQ struct
resource flags member.

This means that drivers that need the IRQ type/level flags defined in
the DT won't be able to get it.

But the interrupt controllers that need the information should be able
to get to it via irqd_get_trigger_type. What problem exactly are you
trying to fix? What driver would use this?

My understanding of the IORESOURCE_IRQ_xxx (and DMA) bits are they are
ISA specific and therefore should not be used on non-ISA buses.

FYI, that is indeed what I did in sound/soc/codecs/wm8903.c. Thinking
back, I'm not sure if that was the right thing or whether I should have
sent this same patch:-)

Yes but this is not about the interrupt controller wanting this information but
a device driver that is using the IORESOURCE_IRQ struct resource that has the
information about the virtual IRQ associated with a GPIO-IRQ.

The driver doesn't know neither care if its IRQ line is connected to a line of
an real IRQ controller or to a GPIO controller that allows a GPIO line to be
used as an IRQ.

Many TI OMAP2+ SoC based boards have an SMSC LAN911x/912x controller
(drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smsc911x.c) that is connected to the OMAP processor
through its General-Purpose Memory Controller (GPMC) and this LAN driver obtain
its IRQ and I/O address space from a struct resource IORESOURCE_IRQ and
IORESOURCE_MEM respectively, that is filled by the DeviceTree core.

It does this:

irq_res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0);
irq_flags = irq_res->flags & IRQF_TRIGGER_MASK;

Since of_irq_to_resource() doesn't fill the trigger/level flags on the
IORESOURCE_IRQ struct resource, irq_flags will always be 0 regarding the value
specified on the second cell of the "interrupts" DT property.

Hi Stephen,

I'm glad you agree :-)

I could change drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smsc911x.c to get the type flags for
the IRQ with irqd_get_trigger_type() but I prefer $subject because:

a) This works in the non-DT case with board files and filling the resources from
platform data in arch/arm/mach-omap2/gpmc-smsc911x.c. So this is definitely a
bug on the DT core.

b) I don't see why of_irq_to_resource() should discard the type/level flags when
filling the IORESOURCE_IRQ if it was specified on the DT.

c) We will have to change all drivers that expect to get the IRQ type flags from
a IORESOURCE_IRQ struct resource.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Javier

irqd_get_trigger_type probably is not meant for outside of irqchips.
Creating an irq_get_irq_type function which takes an irq number would be
the right function as that does not expose struct irq_data.

And hackery/abuse like this:

arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-3630sdp.c:32:    .flags          =
GPMC_MUX_ADD_DATA | IORESOURCE_IRQ_LOWLEVEL,

I'm not convinced that is a high number of drivers. Nearly all the
occurrences of IORESOURCE_IRQ_ in drivers/ are for ISA (acpi/pnp) and
drivers for ISA devices.

Ok, I can add an irqd_get_trigger_type() that just return the flags to
the caller without exposing the struct irq_data and using it on the
SMSC 911x driver instead using struct resource *irq_res->flags

I hope networking folks understand why this change is needed in this
driver to get the type/level flags for an IRQ defined on a DT...

If IORESOURCE_IRQ is just supposed to be used for ISA devices drivers
that use ACPI/PnP instead DT, then of_irq_to_resource() callers should
just use irq_of_parse_and_map() that returns the virtual IRQ number
for an index within a controller instead of a struct resource.

In fact I wonder what's the point to have an of_irq_to_resource()
function at all if  IORESOURCE_IRQ is not supposed to be used for
devices connected through dumb buses that need a DT and the struct
resource will only hold the mapped virtual IRQ number and no the IRQ
flags.

Hi Rob,

I sent a patch-set a few days ago that adds an irq_get_irq_type()
function [1] as you suggested and this function is used on the
smsc911x driver probe function to get the edge/level flags [2].

It would be great if I can get your feedback on this.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Javier

I can't remember if there was ever a reason for not returning the IRQ
flags, but I don't have any major objection to doing so if drivers find
them useful. The one concern I do have however is if it will cause any
problems with drivers that expect flags == IORESOURCE_IRQ without any
additional flags. Any users doing that are buggy anyway, but I do want
to be careful about breakage.

I'll go over your patch and reply with comments.

I count 11 users of irq_create_of_mapping(). That's a managable number
to update. Instead of creating a new function, please modify the
existing one and split it off into a separate patch.

Otherwise the patch looks fine to me.

It turns out that if you don't pass a trigger type to the request_irq() call, it
will use the trigger type set by the irq chip earlier with .xlate

For some reasons it was not getting the right trigger type when I sent this
patch but now it is working correctly so probably there was a bug on the
irq_chip driver I was using (drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c) and got fixed in the
meantime.

So I don't need this patch anymore to make the LAN chip work on my board and I
don't know if the fact that an empty edge/level flags defaults to what was set
using the .xlate function handler and this function is called in
irq_create_of_mapping() is a reason enough to not return the IRQ flags on the
struct resource.

Having said that, if you still think this patch is useful then I can send a v2
that take into account your comments on the patch.

Best regards,
Javier

Hi Grant, thanks a lot for your feedback.

Yes, but since of_irq_to_resource() doesn't call irq_create_of_mapping()
directly but it does though irq_of_parse_and_map(), then this function signature
has to be modified too.

I'm counting 223 users of irq_of_parse_and_map() so the change is not that small
anymore. Another approach is to call of_irq_map_one() and
irq_create_of_mapping() directly from of_irq_to_resource() instead of using
irq_of_parse_and_map() but I don't like that...

But that won't break git bisect-ability? or do you mean to first just change the
functions signatures by adding an argument and update its users and then in a
separate patch do the actual change to the functions to store the IRQ?

why do you need to known this in you driver this need to be handle in the irq
chip

I does use irq gpio without at all

Yes, in fact as I said on an earlier email on this thread if you don't
pass a trigger type to the request_irq() call, it will use the trigger
type set by the irq chip earlier with .xlate.

A few months ago when I was testing DT on my OMAP3 board, for some
reasons it was not getting the right trigger type. That's why I sent
this patch but it seems it was a bug on the GPIO omap irq_chip driver
since now is working correctly without this. It is taking the trigger
type that was set on the .xlate function handler.

So, I don't need this patch anymore to make the LAN chip work on my
board and I don't know if the fact that an empty edge/level flags
means that is going to be used whatever was set on the .xlate function
handler is a reason enough to not return the IRQ flags on the struct
resource or if someone else is still interested on this patch and
filling this information on the struct resource.

Javier

There are devices that support multiple interrupt trigger types, like 
Broadcom WLAN chips, and drivers must configure them properly for 
requested trigger type, obtaining the information from flags field of the 
IRQ resource.
