Remove setup_percpu_irq() & remove_percpu_irq

Hi,

While doing the removal of setup_irq(), it was observed that setup_percpu_irq() also can be removed similarly by replacing it w/ request_percpu_irq(), which does allocate memory. In the initial setup_irq() removal cover letters [1], it was mentioned that setup_percpu_irq() is untouched.

After removing setup_irq(), it does not look good to let live setup_percpu_irq(), especially since it being a low hanging fruit. Hence replace setup_percpu_irq() by it's allocator equivalent. request_percpu_irq() cannot be used since all the users need to pass IRQF_TIMER flag, which it would not allow. Thus it's variant, __request_percpu_irq() is used.

In addition to removing setup_percpu_irq() definition, remove_percpu_irq(), unused, is also removed.

It seems setup_percpu_irq() is used only by MIPS (even the one outside MIPS arch dir, i.e. the clocksource driver). The series has been build tested, though i would have loved to do a qemu test as well, i do not see a qemu machine type that can test the changes done here (in malta machine, in which clocksource changes are getting built, the changes done here are not being runtime tested).

Recently all usages of setup_irq() was replaced by request_irq() as allocators are ready by the time setup_irq() was invoked. Similarly setup_percpu_irq() can be replaced by request_percpu_irq(). But in the callers handled here __request_percpu_irq() has to be used as request_percpu_irq() does not give the user a chance to pass the flags, and IRQF_TIMER has to be passed here, so the variant __request_percpu_irq() is used.

Only users of setup_percpu_irq() were in MIPS, they have been converted to use request_percpu_irq() variants. Also remove_percpu_irq() have no users.

Hence remove setup_percpu_irq() as well as remove_percpu_irq().

Hi Thomas Gleixner,

Do you feel that this series adds value ?, if not, i will abandon this series.

Thanks for your guidance w.r.t setup_irq() removal.

is definitely worth it. There is no point in having two interfaces. I'll have a look at the changes later today.

Thanks,
