Interrupts not Firing on PPC405EX

[Jonathan Haws]

All,

I am having some troubles getting interrupts to fire from my kernel module.  I have connected the ISR with a call to request_irq() and have configured my device to generate interrupts.   However, my ISR is called once when I connect the interrupt for the first time.  After that it never is called again.  It seems like that interrupt is getting stuck disabled, but that does not make sense as to why.

The device is on the PCIE0 bus and works just fine in another OS (namely Vxworks - that is the driver I am working on porting to Linux).

Here is how I am connecting the ISR and the ISR itself.  Am I doing something stupid?

Thanks for the help!

Jonathan

PS - Our hardware is a custom spun PPC405EX board based on the AMCC Kilauea board and uses the kilauea.dts with no modifications.

A quick note - I realize that I am not checking if I was the one to interrupt the CPU.  I am not worried about that right now - especially since I know there is nothing else that will interrupt the CPU on this IRQ right now anyway - it never fires.


int fpga_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)

	int err = 0;

	/* Make sure we have successfully probed the device */
	if (NULL == fpga_drv.pcidev)

		return -ENODEV;
	}

	/* Only one process at a time can have access to the FPGA */
	if (0 != atomic_read(&fpga_drv.openCount))
	{
		atomic_inc(&fpga_drv.openCount);
		printk(KERN_WARNING "FPGA: Could not open device: already open. \n");
		return -EBUSY;
	}

	/* If not already in use, state that we are */
	atomic_inc(&fpga_drv.openCount);

	/* Store a pointer to the PCI device structure */
	filp->private_data = fpga_drv.pcidev;

	/* Attach ISR to IRQ */
	if (request_irq(fpga_drv.pcidev->irq, &fpga_isr, IRQF_SHARED,
			FPGA_MODULE_NAME, fpga_drv.pcidev))
	{
		printk( KERN_ERR "FPGA: Unable to connect FPGA ISR (%d)!\n",
				fpga_drv.pcidev->irq);
		return -EPERM;
	}

	return 0;
}

	uint32_t status = 0;

	status = fpga_drv.cfg_ptr[FPGA_INTER_STATUS];
