PANTHOR_IRQ_HANDLER(9)
π PANTHOR_IRQ_HANDLER(9) β like, the kernel API manual bestie π
okay so this whole page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the big-brain kernel docs section, iykyk) and it's all about PANTHOR_IRQ_HANDLER. it's giving "small macro, big responsibilities." let's get into it β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
PANTHOR_IRQ_HANDLER β the vibe is: define interrupt handlers and the interrupt registration function. two jobs, one macro, main character energy fr fr π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
PANTHOR_IRQ_HANDLER (__name , __handler );
that's it. that's the whole call. so clean, so demure π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
__nameβ ngl bestie, the manpage literally says -- undescribed -- π no description, no lore, nothing. it's a mystery, and we respect it π__handlerβ also -- undescribed -- π yeah. same situation. the docs said "figure it out" and honestly? iconic.
lowkey a vibe check moment: neither argument is described in the source page, so don't come for me β I'm just reporting what's there π«Ά
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
okay so here's the slay: the boiler-plate that lets you deal with shared interrupts gracefully is auto-generated. you don't hand-write it, you don't suffer through it β the macro does it for you. periodt π
all you actually have to do is call PANTHOR_IRQ_HANDLER just after the actual handler. that's the whole assignment. that's the task. no cap.
and the handler prototype you're working with looks exactly like this:
void (*handler)(struct panthor_device *, u32 status);
like, keep that signature in your notes bestie, it's literally the shape of the thing π
π SEE ALSO π
go read these next, they're all connected and honestly kind of a friend group π

and that's the page!! π it came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/panthor, dated October 2026, and it's filed under PANTHOR_IRQ_HANDLER(9) β go forth and register those interrupts, bestie, you're gonna absolutely ate it ππ§β
