Because if both Ethernet controllers are active simultaneously, only the first registered PHY IRQ handler should get all the interrupts. > But since your commit, introduced in Linux 3.13, my interfaces don't work > anymore as the second PHYs can't register IRQ. Strange too, the phylib should use polling in case request_irq() fails. > Reading the commit log, I can't really understand the reason for the change. The shared IRQ handler should check for IRQ from its device and return IRQ_NONE if there's no IRQ active; phy_interrupt() doesn't do that (this is pushed to the workqueue). > Is it really worth it, and therefore how shall my case be handled ? PHY IRQs are not necessary for the phylib state machine. > Christophe WBR, Sergei -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
