[RFC PATCH 0/3] genirq: mixing IRQF_NO_SUSPEND and wakeup sources on shared IRQs

[Boris Brezillon]

Hello,

I put the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND_SAFE/IRQF_TIMER_SIBLING_OK/WHATEVER_NAME_YOU_CHOOSE
debate aside to concentrate on another problem pointed out by Rafael and
Mark: the fact that we cannot mix IRQF_NO_SUSPEND and wakeup sources on
a shared IRQ line.

This is because the wakeup code is prevailing the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND case
and will trigger a system wakeup as soon as the IRQ line is tagged as a
wakeup source.

This series propose an approach to deal with such cases by doing the
following:
1/ Prevent any system wakeup when at least one of the IRQ user has set
   the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag
2/ Adapt IRQ handlers so that they can safely be called in suspended
   state
3/ Let drivers decide when the system should be woken up

Let me know what you think of this approach.

Thanks,

Boris
