[PATCH v5 1/9] irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Call chained_irq_exit() on the handler error path

From: Zhipeng . wang_1

Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 06:52:35 EST


From: Zhipeng Wang <zhipeng.wang_1@xxxxxxx>

A chained handler must pair every chained_irq_enter() with a
chained_irq_exit() before returning, so that the parent interrupt's flow
control is completed (EOI for fasteoi parents, unmask for level-triggered
parents). Skipping it leaves the parent interrupt unacknowledged, blocking
further interrupts multiplexed through that line.

When imx_irqsteer_get_hwirq_base() fails, the handler returned early
without calling chained_irq_exit(). Route the error path through the
existing chained_irq_exit() so the parent interrupt is always completed
before returning.
