# kstat\_irqs\_usr(9)

Get the statistics for an interrupt

## NAME

kstat\_irqs\_usr - Get the statistics for an interrupt

## SYNOPSIS

**unsigned int kstat\_irqs\_usr(unsigned int** *irq***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*irq*

Returns the sum of interrupt counts on all cpus since boot for *irq*. Contrary to **kstat\_irqs** this can be called from any preemptible context. It's protected against concurrent removal of an interrupt descriptor when sparse irqs are enabled.
