man rtl_request_irq () - install and remove realtime interrupt handlers

NAME

rtl_request_irq, rtl_free_irqrtl_free_irq - install and remove realtime interrupt handlers

SYNOPSIS

#include <rtl_core.h> 
 
int rtl_request_irq             (unsigned int irq,  
unsigned int (*handler)(unsigned int irq, struct pt_regs *regs)); 
int rtl_free_irq(unsigned int irq);

DESCRIPTION

These functions are specific to Realtime Linux. rtl_request_irq registers the function handler as the interrupt handler for IRQ level irq. The handler will be executed with hardware interrupts disabled.

Note: The interrupt will be disabled during the handler execution. If it is necessary to receive further interrupts from this device, you must reenable the interrupt line with the rtl_hard_enable_irq(3) function.

rtl_free_irq removes the interrupt handler for IRQ level irq.

RETURN VALUE

All functions return 0 on success and a negative error code on error.

ERRORS

-EBUSY
rtl_request_irq: Interrupt handler is already installed for this interrupt level.
-EINVAL
rtl_free_irq: There is no handler currently installed for this interrupt level
