spi: dw: use threaded interrupt and optimize the threaded ISR
To avoid blocking for an excessive amount of time, eventually impacting on system responsiveness, hard interrupt handlers should finish executing in as little time as possible. Use threaded interrupt and move the SPI transfer handling to an interrupt thread when non-native CS and host only. After that, since the dw_reader() and dw_writer() are called in threaded ISR now, so we can delay the unmasking interrupts until no rx and tx action is taken, thus reduce the interrupt numbers further. Tested with below two cmds ./spidev_test -D /dev/spidev1.3 -s 30000000 -S 327680 -I 1 ./spidev_test -D /dev/spidev1.3 -s 30000000 -S 327680 -I 1000 ./rtla timerlat top -q -k -P f:95 The first cmd is to check the interrupt numbers optmizaion result, the 2nd cmd group is to check the threaded interrupt improvement. Before the patch: each 320KB spi spidev_test transfer triggers 33118 interrupts spidev_test reports ~22090 kbps and rtla reports: Timer Latency 0 00:00:37 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #9958 | 1 0 67 103394 | 6 4 2198 105031 1 #36902 | 1 0 1 18 | 5 4 5 29 After the patch: each 320KB spi spidev_test transfer only triggers 1 interrupts spidev_test reports ~23520 kbps and now rtla reports: Timer Latency 0 00:00:58 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #58362 | 1 0 0 29 | 6 3 4 56 1 #58363 | 1 0 1 23 | 6 4 5 68 In summary: before the patch after the patch 33118 interrutps 1 interrupts reduced by 33117 times! 103394 us max latency 29 us max latency reduced by 3564 times! 22090 kbps rate 23520 kbps rate improved by 6.5% Signed-off-by: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20261005151739.25233-5-jszhang@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
