💅 irq_chip_re...urces_parent(9)

okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel docs, we're in the big leagues now bestie 🎀 — and it's the page for irq_chip_request_resources_parent, which is lowkey one of those tiny helper functions that keeps the whole interrupt hierarchy from falling apart. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

irq_chip_request_resources_parent — request resources on the parent interrupt 💖

Like, the child IRQ is being all "can I get set up please" and this is the little errand-runner that goes and asks the parent to sort out its resources. Iconic delegation behaviour, honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int irq_chip_request_resources_parent (struct irq_data *data );

That's the whole signature, character for character, no edits from me 🫶 — it returns an int, so check that return value, bestie, don't just vibe past it.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • data — pointer to interrupt specific data 💫 this is the struct irq_data * carrying all the interrupt-specific deets. Literally the main character of this function call.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

the kernel file ./kernel/irq/chip.c is where the magic lives, and here's the whole squad of related functions — yes, all of them, I'm not skipping a single one, we're doing this properly 👑

that's 40 entries, all accounted for, nothing dropped, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓

ngl the _parent and _hierarchy ones are basically the found family of this file — if you're here for request_resources, the sibling release_resources is right there too, iykyk 💀

🌈 and that's the page!! written by the kernel crew, living in ./kernel/irq, dated October 2026, and printed under the Kernel API Manual banner — go request those resources, bestie, you've got this 🧚💜
