A Bit lost here..

We have the below chained handler:

static void plic_handle_irq(struct irq_desc *desc)
{
struct plic_handler *handler = this_cpu_ptr(&plic_handlers);
struct irq_chip *chip = irq_desc_get_chip(desc);
void __iomem *claim = handler->hart_base + CONTEXT_CLAIM;
irq_hw_number_t hwirq;

WARN_ON_ONCE(!handler->present);

chained_irq_enter(chip, desc);

while ((hwirq = readl(claim))) {
int err = generic_handle_domain_irq(handler->priv->irqdomain,
hwirq);
if (unlikely(err))
pr_warn_ratelimited("can't find mapping for hwirq %lu\n",
hwirq);
}

chained_irq_exit(chip, desc);
}

static void plic_irq_eoi(struct irq_data *d)
{
struct plic_handler *handler = this_cpu_ptr(&plic_handlers);

if (irqd_irq_masked(d)) {
plic_irq_unmask(d);
writel(d->hwirq, handler->hart_base + CONTEXT_CLAIM);
plic_irq_mask(d);
} else {
writel(d->hwirq, handler->hart_base + CONTEXT_CLAIM);
}
}

Where it's claiming -> handling interrupt -> interrupt completion in
eoi which is according to architecture.


Now with fasteoi_ack flow If I introduce the below ack callback to
issue interrupt completion.

static void plic_irq_ack(struct irq_data *d)
{
struct plic_handler *handler = this_cpu_ptr(&plic_handlers);

if (irqd_irq_masked(d)) {
plic_irq_unmask(d);
writel(d->hwirq, handler->hart_base + CONTEXT_CLAIM);
plic_irq_mask(d);
} else {
writel(d->hwirq, handler->hart_base + CONTEXT_CLAIM);
}
}

Here we are issuing an interrupt completion first, and later in the
handler plic_handle_irq() we are claiming the interrupt by reading
the claim register. With this we are not following [0].

Do you think this flow is OK (interrupt completion -> Interrupt claim
-> handle IRQ)?
