genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of threaded irqs

2014-07-01T03:01:33+00:00

commit 1e77d0a1ed7417d2a5a52a7b8d32aea1833faa6c upstream.

Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded
interrupts is broken in two ways:

- note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared
  interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none
  of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by
  calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account
  IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible.

- note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not
  serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for
  the spurious detection unprotected.

To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded
interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have
implicit serialization.

If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we
check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If
not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and
return.

If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled
success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the
spurious detector.

If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we
disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have
found at least one device driver who cared.

genirq: Remove racy waitqueue_active check

2014-03-24T04:37:05+00:00

commit c685689fd24d310343ac33942e9a54a974ae9c43 upstream.

We hit one rare case below:

T1 calling disable_irq(), but hanging at synchronize_irq()
always;
The corresponding irq thread is in sleeping state;
And all CPUs are in idle state;

After analysis, we found there is one possible scenerio which
causes T1 is waiting there forever:
CPU0                                       CPU1
 synchronize_irq()
  wait_event()
    spin_lock()
                                           atomic_dec_and_test(&threads_active)
      insert the __wait into queue
    spin_unlock()
                                           if(waitqueue_active)
    atomic_read(&threads_active)
                                             wake_up()

Here after inserted the __wait into queue on CPU0, and before
test if queue is empty on CPU1, there is no barrier, it maybe
cause it is not visible for CPU1 immediately, although CPU0 has
updated the queue list.
It is similar for CPU0 atomic_read() threads_active also.

So we'd need one smp_mb() before waitqueue_active.that, but removing
the waitqueue_active() check solves it as wel l and it makes
things simple and clear.

genirq: Fix can_request_irq() for IRQs without an action

2013-07-22T01:19:01+00:00

commit 2779db8d37d4b542d9ca2575f5f178dbeaca6c86 upstream.

Commit 02725e7471b8 ('genirq: Use irq_get/put functions'),
inadvertently changed can_request_irq() to return 0 for IRQs that have
no action.  This causes pcibios_lookup_irq() to select only IRQs that
already have an action with IRQF_SHARED set, or to fail if there are
none.  Change can_request_irq() to return 1 for IRQs that have no
action (if the first two conditions are met).

genirq: Always force thread affinity

2013-01-11T17:06:56+00:00

commit 04aa530ec04f61875b99c12721162e2964e3318c upstream.

Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the
affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases:

 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before
    the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified.

 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to
    change its affinity.

 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving
    the thread either.

Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation
time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to
the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an
existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y)

random: remove rand_initialize_irq()

2012-08-15T15:10:29+00:00

commit c5857ccf293968348e5eb4ebedc68074de3dcda6 upstream.

With the new interrupt sampling system, we are no longer using the
timer_rand_state structure in the irq descriptor, so we can stop
initializing it now.

  rand_initialize_irq() ]

genirq: Respect NUMA node affinity in setup_irq_irq affinity()

2012-03-29T09:31:53+00:00

We respect node affinity of devices already in the irq descriptor
allocation, but we ignore it for the initial interrupt affinity
setup, so the interrupt might be routed to a different node.

Restrict the default affinity mask to the node on which the irq
descriptor is allocated.

genirq: Get rid of unneeded force parameter in irq_finalize_oneshot()

2012-03-29T09:31:53+00:00

The only place irq_finalize_oneshot() is called with force parameter set
is the threaded handler error exit path. But IRQTF_RUNTHREAD is dropped
at this point and irq_wake_thread() is not going to set it again,
since PF_EXITING is set for this thread already. So irq_finalize_oneshot()
will drop the threads bit in threads_oneshot anyway and hence the force
parameter is superfluous.

genirq: Remove paranoid warnons and bogus fixups

2012-03-16T10:27:28+00:00

Alexander pointed out that the warnons in the regular exit path are
bogus and the thread_mask one actually could be triggered when
__setup_irq() hands out that thread_mask again after __free_irq()
dropped irq_desc->lock.

Thinking more about it, neither IRQTF_RUNTHREAD nor the bit in
thread_mask can be set as this is the regular exit path. We come here
due to:
	__free_irq()
	   remove action from desc
	   synchronize_irq()
	   kthread_stop()

So synchronize_irq() makes sure that the thread finished running and
cleaned up both the thread_active count and thread_mask. After that
point nothing can set IRQTF_RUNTHREAD on this action. So the warnons
and the cleanups are pointless.

genirq: Flush the irq thread on synchronization

2012-03-14T10:56:20+00:00

The current implementation does not always flush the threaded handler
when disabling the irq. In case the irq handler was called, but the
threaded handler hasn't started running yet, the interrupt will be
flagged as pending, and the handler will not run. This implementation
has some issues:

First, if the interrupt is a wake source and flagged as pending, the
system will not be able to suspend.

Second, when quickly disabling and re-enabling the irq, the threaded
handler might continue to run after the irq is re-enabled without the
irq handler being called first. This might be an unexpected behavior.

In addition, it might be counter-intuitive that the threaded handler
will not be called even though the irq handler was called and returned
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD.

Fix this by always waiting for the threaded handler to complete in
synchronize_irq().
