PCI: Spread interrupt vectors in pci_alloc_irq_vectors()

2016-07-21T20:57:03+00:00

Set the affinity_mask in the PCI device before allocating vectors so that
the affinity can be propagated through the MSI descriptor structures to the
core IRQ code.  To facilitate this, new __pci_enable_msi_range() and
__pci_enable_msix_range() helpers are factored out of their not prefixed
variants which assigning the new IRQ affinity mask in the PCI device so
that the low-level interrupt code can perform the interrupt affinity
assignment and do node-local allocations.

A new PCI_IRQ_NOAFFINITY flag is added to pci_alloc_irq_vectors() so that
this function can also be used by drivers that don't wish to use the
automatic affinity assignment.

PCI: Provide sensible IRQ vector alloc/free routines

2016-07-21T20:50:07+00:00

Add a function to allocate and free a range of interrupt vectors, using
MSI-X, MSI or legacy vectors (in that order) based on the capabilities of
the underlying device and PCIe complex.

Additionally a new helper is provided to get the Linux IRQ number for given
device-relative vector so that the drivers don't need to allocate their own
arrays to keep track of the vectors for the multi vector MSI-X case.

MSI-HOWTO.txt: remove reference on IRQF_DISABLED

2015-03-20T13:41:55+00:00

The IRQF_DISABLED is a NOOP and scheduled to be removed.  According to Ingo
Molnar in commit e58aa3d2d0cc01ad8d6f7f640a0670433f794922 (genirq: Run irq
handlers with interrupts disabled), running IRQ handlers with interrupts
enabled can cause stack overflows when the interrupt line of the issuing
device is still active.

This patch removes IRQF_DISABLED from this documentation.  It was
mentioned to be a solution to avoid deadlocks when a device uses
multiple interrupts.  As the flag is a NOOP this solution does not work
anymore.

doc: replace "practise" with "practice" in Documentation

2014-06-19T13:28:56+00:00

To keep the Documentation consistent either
"practise" or "practice" should be used.

Since there are 3 lines with "practise"

  ~/linux/Documentation$ grep -r practise * | wc -l
  3

and 108 lines with "practice"

  ~/linux/Documentation$ grep -r practice * | wc -l
  108

this patch converts "practise" to "practice".

PCI: Remove unused SR-IOV VF Migration support

2014-02-19T18:28:44+00:00

This reverts commit 74bb1bcc7dbb ("PCI: handle SR-IOV Virtual Function
Migration"), removing this exported interface:

  pci_sriov_migration()

Since pci_sriov_migration() is unused, it is impossible to schedule
sriov_migration_task() or use any of the other migration infrastructure.

This is based on Stephen Hemminger's patch (see link below), but goes a bit
further.

PCI/MSI: Add pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact()

2014-02-13T17:45:05+00:00

The new functions are special cases for pci_enable_msi_range() and
pci_enable_msix_range() when a particular number of MSI or MSI-X
is needed.

By contrast with pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range()
functions, pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact()
return zero in case of success, which indicates MSI or MSI-X
interrupts have been successfully allocated.
