Gpio irda interrupts lost

Hi everyone:
I use the GPIO90 as external ir receiver pin, and binds with interrupt EINT13, .when I press the IR remote controller, the cpu can catch interrupts from the GPIO90, about 36 interrupts, but sometime, the cpu only catchs 30 or fewer interrupts.

I use the code below to initialize the interrupt
ret = request_irq(irrx_irq,&gpio_irc_interrupt,IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING ,“IRRX-eint”,ddata);

can somebody help me, thanks very mush.

Interrupt can be lost, there is no guaranty on Linux to not miss any interrupt. I’m not familiar with IR, so I don’t know if a same data chunk is always encoded with a same IR frame, so maybe it’s expected. Moreover you can not deduct data value from a pulse count, I assume you need the pulses length/position, right ?

I suggest you to have a look at the gpio-ir-recv kernel driver (linux/drivers/media/rc) which allows RC IR data decoding from GPIO/IRQ.

Can you share your interrupt handler ?

Hi Loic:
Thank you very much,I found the interrupt handler function mt_eint_demux() in irq-mt-eic.c , and from the count this function called, the cpu lost some interrupts。 I think when this function is processing, next interrupt comes, so it is not processed in time. so, is there some suggestions?

static irqreturn_t mt_eint_demux(unsigned irq, struct irq_desc *desc)
{
unsigned int index, rst;
unsigned long base;
unsigned int status = 0;
unsigned int status_check;
unsigned int reg_base, offset;
unsigned long long t1 = 0;
unsigned long long t2 = 0;
int mask_status = 0;
struct irq_chip *chip = irq_get_chip(irq);
struct eint_chip *eint_chip = irq_get_handler_data(irq);

chained_irq_enter(chip, desc);
