From b25c340c195447afb1860da580fe2a85a6b652c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:17:22 +0200 Subject: genirq: Add oneshot support For threaded interrupt handlers we expect the hard interrupt handler part to mask the interrupt on the originating device. The interrupt line itself is reenabled after the hard interrupt handler has executed. This requires access to the originating device from hard interrupt context which is not always possible. There are devices which can only be accessed via a bus (i2c, spi, ...). The bus access requires thread context. For such devices we need to keep the interrupt line masked until the threaded handler has executed. Add a new flag IRQF_ONESHOT which allows drivers to request that the interrupt is not unmasked after the hard interrupt context handler has been executed and the thread has been woken. The interrupt line is unmasked after the thread handler function has been executed. Note that for now IRQF_ONESHOT cannot be used with IRQF_SHARED to avoid complex accounting mechanisms. For oneshot interrupts the primary handler simply returns IRQ_WAKE_THREAD and does nothing else. A generic implementation irq_default_primary_handler() is provided to avoid useless copies all over the place. It is automatically installed when request_threaded_irq() is called with handler=NULL and thread_fn!=NULL.

The idea is the same as NAPI - instead of doing the command completion when the irq occurs, schedule a dedicated softirq in the hopes that we will complete more IO when the iopoll handler is invoked. Devices have a budget of commands assigned, and will stay in polled mode as long as they continue to consume their budget from the iopoll softirq handler. If they do not, the device is set back to interrupt completion mode. This patch holds the core bits for blk-iopoll, device driver support sold separately.
