2010-10-12genirq: Remove the now unused sparse irq leftoversThomas Gleixner
The move_irq_desc() function was only used due to the problem that the allocator did not free the old descriptors. So the descriptors had to be moved in create_irq_nr(). That's history. The code would have never been able to move active interrupt descriptors on affinity settings. That can be done in a completely different way w/o all this horror. Remove all of it.

2010-10-12genirq: Implement a sane sparse_irq allocatorThomas Gleixner
The current sparse_irq allocator has several short comings due to failures in the design or the lack of it: - Requires iteration over the number of active irqs to find a free slot (Some architectures have grown their own workarounds for this) - Removal of entries is not possible - Racy between create_irq_nr and destroy_irq (plugged by horrible callbacks) - Migration of active irq descriptors is not possible - No bulk allocation of irq ranges - Sprinkeled irq_desc references all over the place outside of kernel/irq/ (The previous chip functions series is addressing this issue) Implement a sane allocator which fixes the above short comings (though migration of active descriptors needs a full tree wide cleanup of the direct and mostly unlocked access to irq_desc). The new allocator still uses a radix_tree, but uses a bitmap for keeping track of allocated irq numbers. That allows: - Fast lookup of a free slot - Allows the removal of descriptors - Prevents the create/destroy race - Bulk allocation of consecutive irq ranges - Basic design is ready for migration of life descriptors after further cleanups The bitmap is also used in the SPARSE_IRQ=n case for lookup and raceless (de)allocation of irq numbers. So it removes the requirement for looping through the descriptor array to find slots. Right now it uses sparse_irq_lock to protect the bitmap and the radix tree, but after cleaning up all users we should be able convert that to a mutex and to switch the radix_tree and decriptor allocations to GFP_KERNEL.

2010-06-09genirq: Deal with desc->set_type() changing desc->chipThomas Gleixner
The set_type() function can change the chip implementation when the trigger mode changes. That might result in using an non-initialized irq chip when called from __setup_irq() or when called via set_irq_type() on an already enabled irq. The set_irq_type() function should not be called on an enabled irq, but because we forgot to put a check into it, we have a bunch of users which grew the habit of doing that and it never blew up as the function is serialized via desc->lock against all users of desc->chip and they never hit the non-initialized irq chip issue. The easy fix for the __setup_irq() issue would be to move the irq_chip_set_defaults(desc->chip) call after the trigger setting to make sure that a chip change is covered. But as we have already users, which do the type setting after request_irq(), the safe fix for now is to call irq_chip_set_defaults() from __irq_set_trigger() when desc->set_type() changed the irq chip. It needs a deeper analysis whether we should refuse to change the chip on an already enabled irq, but that'd be a large scale change to fix all the existing users. So that's neither stable nor 2.6.35 material.

The underlying driver can register a cpumask for the interrupt, which will allow the driver to provide the CPU mask for the interrupt to anything that requests it.

2010-04-13genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabledIngo Molnar
Running interrupt handlers with interrupts enabled can cause stack overflows. That has been observed with multiqueue NICs delivering all their interrupts to a single core. We might band aid that somehow by checking the interrupt stacks, but the real safe fix is to run the irq handlers with interrupts disabled. Drivers for whacky hardware still can reenable them in the handler itself, if the need arises. (They do already due to lockdep) The risk of doing this is rather low: - lockdep already enforces this - CONFIG_NOHZ has shaken out the drivers which relied on jiffies updates - time keeping is not longer sensitive to the timer interrupt being delayed Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> LKML-Reference: <20100326000405.758579387@linutronix.de>
2010-04-13genirq: Introduce request_any_context_irq()Marc Zyngier
Now that we enjoy threaded interrupts, we're starting to see irq_chip implementations (wm831x, pca953x) that make use of threaded interrupts for the controller, and nested interrupts for the client interrupt. It all works very well, with one drawback: Drivers requesting an IRQ must now know whether the handler will run in a thread context or not, and call request_threaded_irq() or request_irq() accordingly. The problem is that the requesting driver sometimes doesn't know about the nature of the interrupt, specially when the interrupt controller is a discrete chip (typically a GPIO expander connected over I2C) that can be connected to a wide variety of otherwise perfectly supported hardware. This patch introduces the request_any_context_irq() function that mostly mimics the usual request_irq(), except that it checks whether the irq level is configured as nested or not, and calls the right backend. On success, it also returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED.

2010-03-31genirq: Force MSI irq handlers to run with interrupts disabledThomas Gleixner
Network folks reported that directing all MSI-X vectors of their multi queue NICs to a single core can cause interrupt stack overflows when enough interrupts fire at the same time. This is caused by the fact that we run interrupt handlers by default with interrupts enabled unless the driver reuqests the interrupt with the IRQF_DISABLED set. The NIC handlers do not set this flag, so simultaneous interrupts can nest unlimited and cause the stack overflow. The only safe counter measure is to run the interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled. We can't switch to this mode in general right now, but it is safe to do so for MSI interrupts. Force IRQF_DISABLED for MSI interrupt handlers.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
