That would be one possible solution - although it doesn't quite do what
we need just yet. It would register the IDE interrupt to be chained with
the ST-DMA interrupt, while we currently use stdma_int() to call the
interrupt handler for the module that actually 'locked' the DMA and the
corresponding interrupt. From what I recall, there is no simple way to
figure out which interrupt source triggered the interrupt. At least,
there's no way to figure out which driver the DMA was programmed for if
the interrupt is raised by DMA completion, so we still need the locking
scheme there.
I see stdma_int() always returns IRQ_HANDLED; will the other chained
handlers still be called anyway? That might mess things up. Otherwise I
just need to register stdma_int with SA_SHIRQ and the problem may go away.
We'll see about that.
Anyway, i've now got nfeth to register as well, maybe I get a ssh login
next. I'll wait for your patches to show up in CVS and will start on the
framebuffer driver now.
