I agree. I shouldn't have cached that. We should probably introduce a
helper function to get the cpuid, though. The:
unsigned int cpu = 0;
if (mpic->flags & MPIC_PRIMARY)
cpu = hard_smp_processor_id();
code is scattered in three places: '_mpic_cpu_write', '_mpic_cpu_read',
and 'mpic_init'.

AFAIK, we can't rely on 'set_affinity' always being called. I don't
think it is called at all when !defined(CONFIG_SMP) and if it was, then
that would be an error:
/* include/linux/irq.h */
#else /* CONFIG_SMP */
static inline int irq_set_affinity(unsigned int irq,
const struct cpumask *m)
{
return -EINVAL;
}

The priority has to be initialized as well. They could both be done in
'mpic_set_irq_type', but that seems like a weird place since it has
nothing to do with actually setting the type.
Since we already have 'mpic_irq_set_priority' and 'mpic_set_vector',
perhaps a better option is to add 'mpic_set_destination' and put the
following in 'mpic_host_map' (using the cpuid helper function suggested
above):
/* Lazy source init when MPIC_NO_RESET */
if (!mpic_is_ipi(mpic, hw) && (mpic->flags & MPIC_NO_RESET)) {
mpic_set_vector(virq, hw);
mpic_set_destination(virq, mpic_cpuid(mpic));
mpic_irq_set_priority(virq, 8);
}
It is more overhead, but it reads well. Thoughts?
> Or is there a chance that the interrupt was left unmasked ?
There shouldn't be. The original idea was that either the boot program
would leave it masked or one of the AMP OSes would boot without
'pic-no-reset', which would mask everything. Most likely the boot program.

I will look into that.
