hmm. $ echo `cut -c34- /proc/interrupts`
timer i8042 cascade acpi yenta, ehci_hcd:usb1, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 yenta,
uhci_hcd:usb2 uhci_hcd:usb4, eth0 ide0 uhci_hcd:usb3, eth1
Network drivers use their eth%d name. USB drivers use [eu]hci_hcd:usb%d.
Others tend to use the driver name. Changing them all to be 0000:00:1d.2
isn't really an improvement in the readability of /proc/interrupts, IMO.
Passing pdev as the data is a good idea for practically no device driver.
It's rare to actually want the pci_device down in the interrupt handler;
normally you want the device private data. Using pci_get_drvdata(pdev)
as the data would make sense for both sym2 and tg3. I don't feel like
auditing other drivers to see if it'd make sense for them too.
So, current proposal:
int pci_request_irq(struct pci_dev *pdev, irq_handler_t handler,
const char *name)
{
if (!valid_irq(pdev->irq)) {
dev_printk(KERN_ERR, &pdev->dev, "invalid irq\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
return request_irq(pdev->irq, handler, IRQF_SHARED, name,
pci_get_drvdata(pdev));
}
But what about IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM?
