[PATCH] cxl/events: Return IRQ_NONE when no event is pending

From: Shaikh Kamaluddin

Date: Sun Sep 06 2026 - 12:05:16 EST


CXL event interrupts may share an MSI/MSI-X vector with other event
logs or device features. Consequently, cxl_event_thread() is registered
with IRQF_SHARED and must determine whether an interrupt belongs to the
event-log facility.

The handler masks the Device Event Status register to the event logs
supported by the driver. However, when no supported status bit is set,
it exits the processing loop and still returns IRQ_HANDLED.

Track whether at least one supported event status bit was observed.
Return IRQ_NONE when there was no event to service, while continuing to
return IRQ_HANDLED after processing one or more event logs.

Fixes: a49aa8141b65 ("cxl/mem: Wire up event interrupts")
