l4_msgtag_t	unmask (unsigned irqnum, l4_umword_t *label=0, l4_timeout_t to=L4_IPC_NEVER, l4_utcb_t *utcb=l4_utcb()) noexcept
	Unmask the given interrupt line.

Detailed Description

Interface for sending an unmask message to an object.

The object is usually an ICU or an IRQ.

When the kernel receives an IRQ, it masks the interrupt line at the interrupt controller and immediately acknowledges the interrupt. This interface is used to let the kernel know that userspace has dealt with the IRQ. The kernel will unmask the interrupt line and further IRQs can then be delivered.

Member Function Documentation

unmask()

l4_msgtag_t L4::Irq_eoi::unmask ( unsigned  irqnum, l4_umword_t *  label = 0, l4_timeout_t  to = L4_IPC_NEVER, l4_utcb_t *  utcb = l4_utcb()  )

inlinenoexcept

Unmask the given interrupt line.

When the object is an IRQ, the given interrupt line is ignored and instead the line which the IRQ is bound to (if any) is unmasked.

Its counterpart for explicitly masking an interrupt line is L4::Icu::mask().

Parameters

	irqnum	The interrupt line that shall be unmasked. Ignored if the object is an IRQ.
[out]	label	If NULL, this is a send-only unmask. If not NULL, this operation enters an open wait and the protected label shall be received here.
	to	The timeout-pair (send and receive) that shall be used for this operation. The receive timeout is used with a non-NULL label only.
	utcb	UTCB to be used for this operation, shall be the UTCB of the calling thread. See l4_utcb.

Returns

Syscall return tag. If label is NULL, this function performs an IPC send-only operation and there is no return value except L4_MSGTAG_ERROR indicating success or failure of the send operation. In this case use l4_ipc_error() to check for errors and do not use l4_error().
