200 | For some hardware that has more than one interrupt source internally, | ||
201 | but not separate IRQ mask and status registers, there might be | ||
202 | situations where userspace cannot determine what the interrupt source | ||
203 | was if the kernel handler disables them by writing to the chip's IRQ | ||
204 | register. In such a case, the kernel has to disable the IRQ completely | ||
205 | to leave the chip's register untouched. Now the userspace part can | ||
206 | determine the cause of the interrupt, but it cannot re-enable | ||
207 | interrupts. Another cornercase is chips where re-enabling interrupts | ||
208 | is a read-modify-write operation to a combined IRQ status/acknowledge | ||
209 | register. This would be racy if a new interrupt occurred | ||
210 | simultaneously. | ||
211 | </para> | ||
212 | <para> | ||
213 | To address these problems, UIO also implements a write() function. It | ||
214 | is normally not used and can be ignored for hardware that has only a | ||
215 | single interrupt source or has separate IRQ mask and status registers. | ||
216 | If you need it, however, a write to <filename>/dev/uioX</filename> | ||
217 | will call the <function>irqcontrol()</function> function implemented | ||
218 | by the driver. You have to write a 32-bit value that is usually either | ||
219 | 0 or 1 to disable or enable interrupts. If a driver does not implement | ||
220 | <function>irqcontrol()</function>, <function>write()</function> will | ||
221 | return with <varname>-ENOSYS</varname>. | ||
