During the initialization function (init_module()), or in the function that opens the device, interrupts must be activated for the device. This operation is dependent on the device, but most often involves setting a bit from the control register.

Because the interrupt handlers run in interrupt context the actions that can be performed are limited: unable to access user space memory, can’t call blocking functions. Also synchronization using spinlocks is tricky and can lead to deadlocks if the spinlock used is already acquired by a process that has been interrupted by the running handler.

IFF you know that the spinlocks are never used in interrupt handlers, you can use the non-irq versions.

If we want to disable interrupts at the interrupt controller level (not recommended because disabling a particular interrupt is slower, we can not disable shared interrupts) we can do this with disable_irq(), disable_irq_nosync(), and enable_irq(). Using these functions will disable the interrupts on all processors.

static int __init i8042_setup_kbd(void)
{
    int error;

    error = i8042_create_kbd_port();
    if (error)
        return error;

    error = request_irq(I8042_KBD_IRQ, i8042_interrupt, IRQF_SHARED,
                "i8042", i8042_platform_device);
    if (error)
        goto err_free_port;

    error = i8042_enable_kbd_port(); // tell the device, everything is ok, start working now !
    if (error)
        goto err_free_irq;

    i8042_kbd_irq_registered = true;
    return 0;

 err_free_irq:
    free_irq(I8042_KBD_IRQ, i8042_platform_device);
 err_free_port:
    i8042_free_kbd_port();
    return error;
}


/*

    return inb(I8042_DATA_REG);
}
