flag is set. DRIVER_IRQ_SHARED indicates whether the device &amp;

drivers).

The DRM core tries to facilitate IRQ handler registration and
unregistration by providing <function>drm_irq_install</function> and
<function>drm_irq_uninstall</function> functions. Those functions only
support a single interrupt per device.
</para>
<!--!Fdrivers/char/drm/drm_irq.c drm_irq_install-->
<para>
Both functions get the device IRQ by calling
<function>drm_dev_to_irq</function>. This inline function will call a
bus-specific operation to retrieve the IRQ number. For platform devices,
<function>platform_get_irq</function>(..., 0) is used to retrieve the
IRQ number.
</para>
<para>
<function>drm_irq_install</function> starts by calling the
<methodname>irq_preinstall</methodname> driver operation. The operation
is optional and must make sure that the interrupt will not get fired by
clearing all pending interrupt flags or disabling the interrupt.
</para>
<para>
The IRQ will then be requested by a call to
<function>request_irq</function>. If the DRIVER_IRQ_SHARED driver
feature flag is set, a shared (IRQF_SHARED) IRQ handler will be
requested.
</para>
<para>
The IRQ handler function must be provided as the mandatory irq_handler
driver operation. It will get passed directly to
<function>request_irq</function> and thus has the same prototype as all
IRQ handlers. It will get called with a pointer to the DRM device as the
second argument.
</para>
<para>
Finally the function calls the optional
<methodname>irq_postinstall</methodname> driver operation. The operation
usually enables interrupts (excluding the vblank interrupt, which is
enabled separately), but drivers may choose to enable/disable interrupts
at a different time.
</para>
<para>
<function>drm_irq_uninstall</function> is similarly used to uninstall an
IRQ handler. It starts by waking up all processes waiting on a vblank
interrupt to make sure they don't hang, and then calls the optional
<methodname>irq_uninstall</methodname> driver operation. The operation
must disable all hardware interrupts. Finally the function frees the IRQ
by calling <function>free_irq</function>.
support a single interrupt per device, devices that use more than one
IRQs need to be handled manually.

<title>Manual IRQ Registration</title>
<para>
Drivers that require multiple interrupt handlers can't use the managed
IRQ registration functions. In that case IRQs must be registered and
unregistered manually (usually with the <function>request_irq</function>
and <function>free_irq</function> functions, or their devm_* equivalent).
</para>
<para>
When manually registering IRQs, drivers must not set the DRIVER_HAVE_IRQ
driver feature flag, and must not provide the
<methodname>irq_handler</methodname> driver operation. They must set the
<structname>drm_device</structname> <structfield>irq_enabled</structfield>
field to 1 upon registration of the IRQs, and clear it to 0 after
unregistering the IRQs.
