2009-04-14x86, irq: Remove IRQ_DISABLED check in process context IRQ movePallipadi, Venkatesh
As discussed in the thread here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123964468521142&w=2 Eric W. Biederman observed: > It looks like some additional bugs have slipped in since last I looked. > > set_irq_affinity does this: > ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_PENDING_IRQ > if (desc->status & IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT || desc->status & IRQ_DISABLED) { > cpumask_copy(desc->affinity, cpumask); > desc->chip->set_affinity(irq, cpumask); > } else { > desc->status |= IRQ_MOVE_PENDING; > cpumask_copy(desc->pending_mask, cpumask); > } > #else > > That IRQ_DISABLED case is a software state and as such it has nothing to > do with how safe it is to move an irq in process context. [...] > > The only reason we migrate MSIs in interrupt context today is that there > wasn't infrastructure for support migration both in interrupt context > and outside of it. Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process context. One of the patches in the series did disable_irq(dev->irq); irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu)); enable_irq(dev->irq); with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled and moving the interrupt in process context. IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code. Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4ab622e3c99bd59f14cc and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally. Reported-by: "Eric W.

2009-03-30PM: Introduce functions for suspending and resuming device interruptsRafael J. Wysocki
Introduce helper functions allowing us to prevent device drivers from getting any interrupts (without disabling interrupts on the CPU) during suspend (or hibernation) and to make them start to receive interrupts again during the subsequent resume. These functions make it possible to keep timer interrupts enabled while the "late" suspend and "early" resume callbacks provided by device drivers are being executed. In turn, this allows device drivers' "late" suspend and "early" resume callbacks to sleep, execute ACPI callbacks etc. The functions introduced here will be used to rework the handling of interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and resume. Namely, interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right before suspending sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function, before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during resume).

2009-03-24genirq: add threaded interrupt handler supportThomas Gleixner
Add support for threaded interrupt handlers: A device driver can request that its main interrupt handler runs in a thread. To achive this the device driver requests the interrupt with request_threaded_irq() and provides additionally to the handler a thread function. The handler function is called in hard interrupt context and needs to check whether the interrupt originated from the device. If the interrupt originated from the device then the handler can either return IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. IRQ_HANDLED is returned when no further action is required. IRQ_WAKE_THREAD causes the genirq code to invoke the threaded (main) handler. When IRQ_WAKE_THREAD is returned handler must have disabled the interrupt on the device level. This is mandatory for shared interrupt handlers, but we need to do it as well for obscure x86 hardware where disabling an interrupt on the IO_APIC level redirects the interrupt to the legacy PIC interrupt lines.

The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the !CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.) [Naming chosen to be consistent with the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.] Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other references, and some small changes to Xen.

2008-12-02genirq: warn when IRQF_DISABLED may be ignoredDavid Brownell
Impact: emit new warning We periodically waste time tracking down problems from the genirq framework not respecting IRQF_DISABLED for some shared IRQ cases. Linus views this as "will not fix", but we're still left with the bugs caused by this misbehavior. This patch adds a nag message in request_irq(), so that drivers can fix their IRQ handlers to avoid this problem. Note that developers will never see the relevant bugs when they run with LOCKDEP, so it's no wonder these bugs are hard to find.

2008-11-13genirq: __irq_set_trigger: change pr_warning to pr_debugMark Nelson
Commit 0c5d1eb77a8be917b638344a22afe1398236482b (genirq: record trigger type) caused powerpc platforms that had no set_type() function in their struct irq_chip to spew out warnings about "No set_type function for IRQ...". This warning isn't necessarily justified though because the generic powerpc platform code calls set_irq_type() (which in turn calls __irq_set_trigger) with information from the device tree to establish the interrupt mappings, regardless of whether the PIC can actually set a type. A platform's irq_chip might not have a set_type function for a variety of reasons, for example: the platform may have the type essentially hard-coded, or as in the case for Cell interrupts are just messages past around that have no real concept of type, or the platform could even have a virtual PIC as on the PS3.

Genirq hasn't previously recorded the trigger type used by any given IRQ, although some irq_chip support has done so. That data can be useful when troubleshooting. This patch records it in the relevant irq_desc.status bits, and improves consistency between the two driver-visible calls affected: - Make set_irq_type() usage match request_irq() usage: * IRQ_TYPE_NONE should be a NOP; succeed, so irq_chip methods won't have to handle that case any more (many do it wrong). * IRQ_TYPE_PROBE is ignored; any buggy out-of-tree callers might need to switch over to the real IRQ probing code. * emit the same diagnostics (from shared utility code) - Their kerneldoc now reflects usage: * request_irq() flags include IRQF_TRIGGER_* to specify active edge(s)/level ... docs previously omitted that * set_irq_type() is declared in <linux/irq.h> so callers should use the (bit-equivalent) IRQ_TYPE_* symbols there Also: adds a warning about shared IRQs that don't end up using the requested trigger mode; and fix an unrelated "sparse" warning.

This patch clarifies usage of irq_chip->startup() callback: 1. The "if (startup) startup(); else enabled();" code in setup_irq() is unnecessary, as startup() falls back to enabled() via default callbacks, set by irq_chip_set_defaults(). 2. When using set_irq_chained_handler() the startup() was never called, which is not good at all... Fixed.

An IRQ handler may call disable_irq_nosync(), but then setup_irq() will overwrite desc->depth, and upon enable_irq() we'll catch this WARN: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Badness at kernel/irq/manage.c:180 NIP: c0061ab8 LR: c0061f10 CTR: 00000000 REGS: cf83be50 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (2.6.27-rc3-23450-g74919b0) MSR: 00021032 <ME,IR,DR> CR: 22042022 XER: 20000000 TASK = cf829100[5] 'events/0' THREAD: cf83a000 GPR00: c0061f10 cf83bf00 cf829100 c038e674 00000016 00000000 cf83bef8 00000038 GPR08: c0298910 00000000 c0310d28 cf83a000 00000c9c 1001a1a8 0fffe000 00800000 GPR16: ffffffff 00000000 007fff00 00000000 007ffeb0 c03320a0 c031095c c0310924 GPR24: cf8292ec cf807190 cf83a000 00009032 c038e6a4 c038e674 cf99b1cc c038e674 NIP [c0061ab8] __enable_irq+0x20/0x80 LR [c0061f10] enable_irq+0x50/0x70 Call Trace: [cf83bf00] [c038e674] irq_desc+0x630/0x9000 (unreliable) [cf83bf10] [c0061f10] enable_irq+0x50/0x70 [cf83bf30] [c01abe94] phy_change+0x68/0x108 [cf83bf50] [c0046394] run_workqueue+0xc4/0x16c [cf83bf90] [c0046834] worker_thread+0x74/0xd4 [cf83bfd0] [c004ab7c] kthread+0x48/0x84 [cf83bff0] [c00135e0] kernel_thread+0x44/0x60 Instruction dump: 4e800020 3d20c031 38a94214 4bffffcc 9421fff0 7c0802a6 93e1000c 7c7f1b78 90010014 8123001c 2f890000 409e001c <0fe00000> 80010014 83e1000c 38210010 That trace corresponds to this line: WARN(1, KERN_WARNING "Unbalanced enable for IRQ %d\n", irq); The patch fixes the problem by moving the SHIRQ code below the setup_irq(). Unfortunately we can't easily move the SHIRQ code inside the setup_irq(), since it grabs a spinlock, so to prvent a 'real' IRQ from interfere us we should disable that IRQ. p.s.
