Well 2.6.39 seems to have changed and the flow as I understand for interrupt processing is do_IRQ -> irq_enter -> handle_irq -> ...
but in above flow i cant find local_irq_enable anywhere; is there some different trick used to enable the interrupts ? yes in 2.6.34 i am able to find do_IRQ and handle_IRQ_event(), defined in kernel/irq/handler.c but with 2.6.39 its moved some where .Can any one please help me on this where this logic is moved.
You can use LXR to search for stuff (it's a fully cross referenced index into the kernel code): http://lxr.linux.no/linux
From this, I searched for do_IRQ against kernel version 2.6.39 and it appears to have been made architecture specific rather than being generic.
Some architectures, like ARM, have an asm_do_IRQ rather than do_IRQ. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
