REQUEST_PERCPU_IRQ(9)

NAME
request_percpu_irq - allocate a percpu interrupt line

SYNOPSIS

int request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler, const char * devname, void __percpu * dev_id);

ARGUMENTS

irq
    Interrupt line to allocate

handler
    Function to be called when the IRQ occurs.

devname
    An ascii name for the claiming device

dev_id
    A percpu cookie passed back to the handler function

DESCRIPTION

This call allocates interrupt resources and enables the interrupt on the local CPU. If the interrupt is supposed to be enabled on other CPUs, it has to be done on each CPU using enable_percpu_irq.

Dev_id must be globally unique. It is a per-cpu variable, and the handler gets called with the interrupted CPU's instance of that variable.
