[PATCH v4 0/7] irqchip/ACPI: Arm GICv5 IWB ACPI IRQ probe deferral

From: Lorenzo Pieralisi

Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 04:41:50 EST


On Arm GICv5 systems, the IWB (Interrupt Wire Bridge) handles wired interrupts
and it is in charge of translating interrupt wires to GICv5 ITS messages.

In ACPI systems, an IWB is backed by a platform device. Device drivers for
devices whose IRQs are routed to an IWB might probe earlier than the IWB device
driver, which can result in failures in that until the IWB driver is probed and
its IRQ domain is duly registered, IRQs routed to it cannot be resolved.

Some interrupt controllers for the RISC-V architecture suffer from the same
issue; RISC-V, in its ACPI IRQ layer solved the problem by automatically
creating device dependencies that result in the interrupt controllers drivers
being probed before any device driver whose devices IRQs are routed to them is
probed.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, this series move the aforementioned RISC-V
code to generic ACPI IRQ handling code (while fixing some bits and pieces) and
implement GICv5 IWB ACPI probe deferral on top of it.
