IRQ_NOPROBE helper functions

2008-03-24T18:47:09+00:00

Probing non-ISA interrupts using the handle_percpu_irq as their handle_irq
method may crash the system because handle_percpu_irq does not check
IRQ_WAITING.  This for example hits the MIPS Qemu configuration.

This patch provides two helper functions set_irq_noprobe and set_irq_probe to
set rsp.  clear the IRQ_NOPROBE flag.  The only current caller is MIPS code
but this really belongs into generic code.

As an aside, interrupt probing these days has become a mostly obsolete if not
dangerous art.  I think Linux interrupts should be changed to default to
non-probing but that's subject of this patch.

genirq: add unlocked version of set_irq_handler()

2007-12-18T17:05:58+00:00

Add unlocked version for use by irq_chip.set_type handlers which may
wish to change handler to level or edge handler when IRQ type is
changed.

The normal set_irq_handler() call cannot be used because it tries to
take irq_desc.lock which is already held when the irq_chip.set_type
hook is called.

Improve behaviour of spurious IRQ detect

2007-07-16T16:05:46+00:00

Currently we handle spurious IRQ activity based upon seeing a lot of
invalid interrupts, and we clear things back on the base of lots of valid
interrupts.

Unfortunately in some cases you get legitimate invalid interrupts caused by
timing asynchronicity between the PCI bus and the APIC bus when disabling
interrupts and pulling other tricks.  In this case although the spurious
IRQs are not a problem our unhandled counters didn't clear and they act as
a slow running timebomb.  (This is effectively what the serial port/tty
problem that was fixed by clearing counters when registering a handler
showed up)

It's easy enough to add a second parameter - time.  This means that if we
see a regular stream of harmless spurious interrupts which are not harming
processing we don't go off and do something stupid like disable the IRQ
after a month of running.  OTOH lockups and performance killers show up a
lot more than 10/second

Pad irq_desc to internode cacheline size

2007-05-08T18:15:09+00:00

We noticed a drop in n/w performance due to the irq_desc being cacheline
aligned rather than internode aligned.  We see 50% of expected performance
when two e1000 nics local to two different nodes have consecutive irq
descriptors allocated, due to false sharing.

Note that this patch does away with cacheline padding for the UP case, as
it does not seem useful for UP configurations.

[PATCH] FRV: Missing error defs

2007-03-01T22:53:38+00:00

linux/irq.h uses EINVAL but does not #include linux/errno.h.  This results in
the compiler spitting out errors on some files.

[PATCH] irq: Remove set_native_irq_info

2007-02-26T18:34:07+00:00

This patch replaces all instances of "set_native_irq_info(irq, mask)"
with "irq_desc[irq].affinity = mask".  The latter form is clearer
uses fewer abstractions, and makes access to this field uniform
accross different architectures.

[PATCH] Declare init_irq_proc before we use it.

2007-02-19T22:21:50+00:00

powerpc gets:

init/main.c: In function `do_basic_setup':
init/main.c:714: warning: implicit declaration of function `init_irq_proc'

but we cannot include linux/irq.h in generic code.

Fix it by moving the declaration into linux/interrupt.h instead.

And make sure all code that defines init_irq_proc() is including
linux/interrupt.h.

And nuke an ifdef-in-C
