genirq: Fix race condition when stopping the irq thread

2011-12-09T16:55:47+00:00

commit 550acb19269d65f32e9ac4ddb26c2b2070e37f1c upstream.

In irq_wait_for_interrupt(), the should_stop member is verified before
setting the task's state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule().
In case kthread_stop sets should_stop and wakes up the process after
should_stop is checked by the irq thread but before the task's state
is changed, the irq thread might never exit:

kthread_stop                    irq_wait_for_interrupt
------------                    ----------------------

                                 ...
...                              while (!kthread_should_stop()) {
kthread->should_stop = 1;
wake_up_process(k);
wait_for_completion(&kthread->exited);
...
                                     set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

                                     ...

                                     schedule();
                                 }

Fix this by checking if the thread should stop after modifying the
task's state.

genirq: fix regression in irqfixup, irqpoll

2011-12-09T16:54:21+00:00

commit 52553ddffad76ccf192d4dd9ce88d5818f57f62a upstream.

Commit fa27271bc8d2("genirq: Fixup poll handling") introduced a
regression that broke irqfixup/irqpoll for some hardware configurations.

Amidst reorganizing 'try_one_irq', that patch removed a test that
checked for 'action->handler' returning IRQ_HANDLED, before acting on
the interrupt.  Restoring this test back returns the functionality lost
since 2.6.39.  In the current set of tests, after 'action' is set, it
must precede '!action->next' to take effect.

With this and my previous patch to irq/spurious.c, c75d720fca8a, all
IRQ regressions that I have encountered are fixed.

genirq: Fix irqfixup, irqpoll regression

2011-11-26T17:08:32+00:00

commit c75d720fca8a91ce99196d33adea383621027bf2 upstream.

commit d05c65fff0 ("genirq: spurious: Run only one poller at a time")
introduced a regression, leaving the boot options 'irqfixup' and
'irqpoll' non-functional. The patch placed tests in each function, to
exit if the function is already running. The test in 'misrouted_irq'
exited when it should have proceeded, effectively disabling
'misrouted_irq' and 'poll_spurious_irqs'.

The check for an already running poller needs to be "!= 1" not "== 1"
as "1" is the value when the first poller starts running.

genirq: Add IRQF_RESUME_EARLY and resume such IRQs earlier

2011-11-11T17:43:13+00:00

commit 9bab0b7fbaceec47d32db51cd9e59c82fb071f5a upstream.

This adds a mechanism to resume selected IRQs during syscore_resume
instead of dpm_resume_noirq.

Under Xen we need to resume IRQs associated with IPIs early enough
that the resched IPI is unmasked and we can therefore schedule
ourselves out of the stop_machine where the suspend/resume takes
place.

This issue was introduced by 676dc3cf5bc3 "xen: Use IRQF_FORCE_RESUME".

irq: Fix check for already initialized irq_domain in irq_domain_add

2011-09-20T10:16:22+00:00

The sanity check in irq_domain_add() tests desc->irq_data != NULL or
irq_data->domain != NULL. This prevents adding an irq_domain to a irq
descriptor when irq_data exists, which true when the irq descriptor
exists.

This went unnoticed so far as the simple domain code did not enter
this code path because domain->nr_irqs is always 0 for the simple domains.

Split the check for irq_data == NULL out and have a separate warning
for it.

genirq: Make irq_shutdown() symmetric vs. irq_startup again

2011-09-12T07:38:53+00:00

If an irq_chip provides .irq_shutdown(), but neither of .irq_disable() or
.irq_mask(), free_irq() crashes when jumping to NULL.
Fix this by only trying .irq_disable() and .irq_mask() if there's no
.irq_shutdown() provided.

This revives the symmetry with irq_startup(), which tries .irq_startup(),
.irq_enable(), and irq_unmask(), and makes it consistent with the comment for
irq_chip.irq_shutdown() in , which says:

 * @irq_shutdown:	shut down the interrupt (defaults to ->disable if NULL)

This is also how __free_irq() behaved before the big overhaul, cfr. e.g.
3b56f0585fd4c02d047dc406668cb40159b2d340 ("genirq: Remove bogus conditional"),
where the core interrupt code always overrode .irq_shutdown() to
.irq_disable() if .irq_shutdown() was NULL.

Revert "irq: Always set IRQF_ONESHOT if no primary handler is specified"

2011-08-23T17:36:51+00:00

This reverts commit f3637a5f2e2eb391ff5757bc83fb5de8f9726464.

It turns out that this breaks several drivers, one example being OMAP
boards which use the on-board OMAP UARTs and the omap-serial driver that
will not boot to userspace after the commit.

Paul Walmsley reports that enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ reveals 'IRQ
handler type mismatch' errors:

  IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 74
  current handler: serial idle
  ...

and the reason is that setting IRQF_ONESHOT will now result in those
interrupt handlers having different IRQF flags, and thus being
unsharable.  So the commit log in the reverted commit:

                            "Since it is required for those users and
    there is no difference for others it makes sense to add this flag
    unconditionally."

is simply not true: there may not be any difference from a "actions at
irq time", but there is a *big* difference wrt this flag testing irq
management (see __setup_irq() in kernel/irq/manage.c).

One solution may be to stop verifying IRQF_ONESHOT in __setup_irq(), but
right now the safe course of action is to revert the change.  Let's
revisit this in a later merge window.
