Hi,

r8169_main.c used request_irq() before, but I was suggested to use pci_request_irq() to generate the name for each irq dynamically. And I find that in pci_request_irq(), irqflags is fixed to IRQF_SHARED. So I want to know how can I handle with this situation?

Thanks,

Javen

I am unsure. But if that is the advice you received then I would suggest
sticking with it.
