2011-06-03irq: Handle spurios irq detection for threaded irqsSebastian Andrzej Siewior1-4/+18
The detection of spurios interrupts is currently limited to first level handler. In force-threaded mode we never notice if the threaded irq does not feel responsible. This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards it to the spurious detector. If the primary handler returns only IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets called again from the threaded handler.

2011-02-19genirq: Mark polled irqs and defer the real handlerThomas Gleixner1-12/+39
With the chip.end() function gone we might run into a situation where a poll call runs and the real interrupt comes in, sees IRQ_INPROGRESS and disables the line. That might be a perfect working one, which will then be masked forever. So mark them polled while the poll runs. When the real handler sees IRQ_INPROGRESS it checks the poll flag and waits for the polling to complete. Add the necessary amount of sanity checks to it to avoid deadlocks.

There is no point in polling disabled lines. percpu does not make sense at all because we only poll on the cpu we're currently running on. Also polling per_cpu interrupts is racy as hell.

Impact: new feature Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case. To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of irq_desc pointers. When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc, this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls request_irq()). This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

2008-07-18genirq: enable polling for disabled screaming irqsEric W. Biederman1-55/+91
When we disable a screaming irq we never see it again. If the irq line is shared or if the driver half works this is a real pain. So periodically poll the handlers for screaming interrupts. I use a timer instead of the classic irq poll technique of working off the timer interrupt because when we use the local apic timers note_interrupt is never called (bug?). Further on a system with dynamic ticks the timer interrupt might not even fire unless there is a timer telling it it needs to. I forced this case on my test system with an e1000 nic and my ssh session remained responsive despite the interrupt handler only being called every 10th of a second. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2008-05-02genirq: reenable a nobody cared disabled irq when a new driver arrivesThomas Gleixner1-2/+2
Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line. I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not work anymore so I can not verify). Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box usable again. Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware before starting the new kernel. This patch should reduce the need for using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.

2007-07-16Improve behaviour of spurious IRQ detectAlan Cox1-1/+11
Currently we handle spurious IRQ activity based upon seeing a lot of invalid interrupts, and we clear things back on the base of lots of valid interrupts. Unfortunately in some cases you get legitimate invalid interrupts caused by timing asynchronicity between the PCI bus and the APIC bus when disabling interrupts and pulling other tricks. In this case although the spurious IRQs are not a problem our unhandled counters didn't clear and they act as a slow running timebomb. (This is effectively what the serial port/tty problem that was fixed by clearing counters when registering a handler showed up) It's easy enough to add a second parameter - time. This means that if we see a regular stream of harmless spurious interrupts which are not harming processing we don't go off and do something stupid like disable the IRQ after a month of running.

With irqpoll enabled, trying to test the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag in the actions would cause a NULL pointer dereference if no action was installed (for example, the driver might have been unloaded with interrupts still pending).

2007-05-08Add IRQF_IRQPOLL flag (common code)Bernhard Walle1-1/+3
irqpoll is broken on some architectures that don't use the IRQ 0 for the timer interrupt like IA64. This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag. Each architecture is handled in a separate pach. As I left the irq == 0 as condition, this should not break existing architectures that use timer_irq == 0 and that I did't address with that patch (because I don't know). This patch: This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag that the interrupt registration code could use for the interrupt it wants to use for IRQ polling. Because this must not be the timer interrupt, an additional flag was added instead of re-using the IRQF_TIMER constant. Until all architectures will have an IRQF_IRQPOLL interrupt, irq == 0 will stay as alternative as it should not break anything. Also, note_interrupt() is called on CPU-specific interrupts to be used as interrupt source for IRQ polling.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells1-5/+5
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.
