[ Upstream commit 59c39840f5abf4a71e1810a8da71aaccd6c17d26 ]

When irq_set_affinity_notifier() replaces the notifier, then the
reference count on the old notifier is dropped which causes it to be
freed. But nothing ensures that the old notifier is not longer queued
in the work list. If it is queued this results in a use after free and
possibly in work list corruption.

Ensure that the work is canceled before the reference is dropped.

<title>genirq: Respect IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE in irq_chip_set_wake_parent()</title>

commit 325aa19598e410672175ed50982f902d4e3f31c5 upstream.

If a child irqchip calls irq_chip_set_wake_parent() but its parent irqchip
has the IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE flag set an error is returned.

This is inconsistent behaviour vs. set_irq_wake_real() which returns 0 when
the irqchip has the IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE flag set. It doesn't attempt to
walk the chain of parents and set irq wake on any chips that don't have the
flag set either. If the intent is to call the .irq_set_wake() callback of
the parent irqchip, then we expect irqchip implementations to omit the
IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE flag and implement an .irq_set_wake() function that
calls irq_chip_set_wake_parent().

The problem has been observed on a Qualcomm sdm845 device where set wake
fails on any GPIO interrupts after applying work in progress wakeup irq
patches to the GPIO driver. The chain of chips looks like this:

     QCOM GPIO -&gt; QCOM PDC (SKIP) -&gt; ARM GIC (SKIP)

The GPIO controllers parent is the QCOM PDC irqchip which in turn has ARM
GIC as parent.  The QCOM PDC irqchip has the IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE flag
set, and so does the grandparent ARM GIC.

The GPIO driver doesn't know if the parent needs to set wake or not, so it
unconditionally calls irq_chip_set_wake_parent() causing this function to
return a failure because the parent irqchip (PDC) doesn't have the
.irq_set_wake() callback set. Returning 0 instead makes everything work and
irqs from the GPIO controller can be configured for wakeup.

Make it consistent by returning 0 (success) from irq_chip_set_wake_parent()
when a parent chip has IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE set.

[ Upstream commit 1136b0728969901a091f0471968b2b76ed14d9ad ]

Waiman reported that on large systems with a large amount of interrupts the
readout of /proc/stat takes a long time to sum up the interrupt
statistics. In principle this is not a problem. but for unknown reasons
some enterprise quality software reads /proc/stat with a high frequency.

The reason for this is that interrupt statistics are accounted per cpu. So
the /proc/stat logic has to sum up the interrupt stats for each interrupt.

This can be largely avoided for interrupts which are not marked as
'PER_CPU' interrupts by simply adding a per interrupt summation counter
which is incremented along with the per interrupt per cpu counter.

The PER_CPU interrupts need to avoid that and use only per cpu accounting
because they share the interrupt number and the interrupt descriptor and
concurrent updates would conflict or require unwanted synchronization.

<title>genirq/matrix: Improve target CPU selection for managed interrupts.</title>

[ Upstream commit e8da8794a7fd9eef1ec9a07f0d4897c68581c72b ]

On large systems with multiple devices of the same class (e.g. NVMe disks,
using managed interrupts), the kernel can affinitize these interrupts to a
small subset of CPUs instead of spreading them out evenly.

irq_matrix_alloc_managed() tries to select the CPU in the supplied cpumask
of possible target CPUs which has the lowest number of interrupt vectors
allocated.

This is done by searching the CPU with the highest number of available
vectors. While this is correct for non-managed CPUs it can select the wrong
CPU for managed interrupts. Under certain constellations this results in
affinitizing the managed interrupts of several devices to a single CPU in
a set.

The book keeping of available vectors works the following way:

 1) Non-managed interrupts:

    available is decremented when the interrupt is actually requested by
    the device driver and a vector is assigned. It's incremented when the
    interrupt and the vector are freed.

 2) Managed interrupts:

    Managed interrupts guarantee vector reservation when the MSI/MSI-X
    functionality of a device is enabled, which is achieved by reserving
    vectors in the bitmaps of the possible target CPUs. This reservation
    decrements the available count on each possible target CPU.

    When the interrupt is requested by the device driver then a vector is
    allocated from the reserved region. The operation is reversed when the
    interrupt is freed by the device driver. Neither of these operations
    affect the available count.

    The reservation persist up to the point where the MSI/MSI-X
    functionality is disabled and only this operation increments the
    available count again.

For non-managed interrupts the available count is the correct selection
criterion because the guaranteed reservations need to be taken into
account. Using the allocated counter could lead to a failing allocation in
the following situation (total vector space of 10 assumed):

		 CPU0	CPU1
 available:	    2	   0
 allocated:	    5	   3   &lt;--- CPU1 is selected, but available space = 0
 managed reserved:  3	   7

 while available yields the correct result.

For managed interrupts the available count is not the appropriate
selection criterion because as explained above the available count is not
affected by the actual vector allocation.

The following example illustrates that. Total vector space of 10
assumed. The starting point is:

		 CPU0	CPU1
 available:	    5	   4
 allocated:	    2	   3
 managed reserved:  3	   3

 Allocating vectors for three non-managed interrupts will result in
 affinitizing the first two to CPU0 and the third one to CPU1 because the
 available count is adjusted with each allocation:

		  CPU0	CPU1
 available:	     5	   4	&lt;- Select CPU0 for 1st allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	     3	   3

 available:	     4	   4	&lt;- Select CPU0 for 2nd allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	     4	   3

 available:	     3	   4	&lt;- Select CPU1 for 3rd allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	     4	   4

 But the allocation of three managed interrupts starting from the same
 point will affinitize all of them to CPU0 because the available count is
 not affected by the allocation (see above). So the end result is:

		  CPU0	CPU1
 available:	     5	   4
 allocated:	     5	   3

Introduce a "managed_allocated" field in struct cpumap to track the vector
allocation for managed interrupts separately. Use this information to
select the target CPU when a vector is allocated for a managed interrupt,
which results in more evenly distributed vector assignments. The above
example results in the following allocations:

		 CPU0	CPU1
 managed_allocated: 0	   0	&lt;- Select CPU0 for 1st allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	    3	   3

 managed_allocated: 1	   0	&lt;- Select CPU1 for 2nd allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	    3	   4

 managed_allocated: 1	   1	&lt;- Select CPU0 for 3rd allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	    4	   4

The allocation of non-managed interrupts is not affected by this change and
is still evaluating the available count.

The overall distribution of interrupt vectors for both types of interrupts
might still not be perfectly even depending on the number of non-managed
and managed interrupts in a system, but due to the reservation guarantee
for managed interrupts this cannot be avoided.

Expose the new field in debugfs as well.

This is done by searching the CPU with the highest number of available
vectors. While this is correct for non-managed CPUs it can select the wrong
CPU for managed interrupts. Under certain constellations this results in
affinitizing the managed interrupts of several devices to a single CPU in
a set.

The book keeping of available vectors works the following way:

 1) Non-managed interrupts:

    available is decremented when the interrupt is actually requested by
    the device driver and a vector is assigned. It's incremented when the
    interrupt and the vector are freed.

 2) Managed interrupts:

    Managed interrupts guarantee vector reservation when the MSI/MSI-X
    functionality of a device is enabled, which is achieved by reserving
    vectors in the bitmaps of the possible target CPUs. This reservation
    decrements the available count on each possible target CPU.

    When the interrupt is requested by the device driver then a vector is
    allocated from the reserved region. The operation is reversed when the
    interrupt is freed by the device driver. Neither of these operations
    affect the available count.

    The reservation persist up to the point where the MSI/MSI-X
    functionality is disabled and only this operation increments the
    available count again.

For non-managed interrupts the available count is the correct selection
criterion because the guaranteed reservations need to be taken into
account. Using the allocated counter could lead to a failing allocation in
the following situation (total vector space of 10 assumed):

		 CPU0	CPU1
 available:	    2	   0
 allocated:	    5	   3   &lt;--- CPU1 is selected, but available space = 0
 managed reserved:  3	   7

 while available yields the correct result.

For managed interrupts the available count is not the appropriate
selection criterion because as explained above the available count is not
affected by the actual vector allocation.

The following example illustrates that. Total vector space of 10
assumed. The starting point is:

		 CPU0	CPU1
 available:	    5	   4
 allocated:	    2	   3
 managed reserved:  3	   3

 Allocating vectors for three non-managed interrupts will result in
 affinitizing the first two to CPU0 and the third one to CPU1 because the
 available count is adjusted with each allocation:

		  CPU0	CPU1
 available:	     5	   4	&lt;- Select CPU0 for 1st allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	     3	   3

 available:	     4	   4	&lt;- Select CPU0 for 2nd allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	     4	   3

 available:	     3	   4	&lt;- Select CPU1 for 3rd allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	     4	   4

 But the allocation of three managed interrupts starting from the same
 point will affinitize all of them to CPU0 because the available count is
 not affected by the allocation (see above). So the end result is:

		  CPU0	CPU1
 available:	     5	   4
 allocated:	     5	   3

Introduce a "managed_allocated" field in struct cpumap to track the vector
allocation for managed interrupts separately. Use this information to
select the target CPU when a vector is allocated for a managed interrupt,
which results in more evenly distributed vector assignments. The above
example results in the following allocations:

		 CPU0	CPU1
 managed_allocated: 0	   0	&lt;- Select CPU0 for 1st allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	    3	   3

 managed_allocated: 1	   0	&lt;- Select CPU1 for 2nd allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	    3	   4

 managed_allocated: 1	   1	&lt;- Select CPU0 for 3rd allocation
 --&gt; allocated:	    4	   4

The allocation of non-managed interrupts is not affected by this change and
is still evaluating the available count.

The overall distribution of interrupt vectors for both types of interrupts
might still not be perfectly even depending on the number of non-managed
and managed interrupts in a system, but due to the reservation guarantee
for managed interrupts this cannot be avoided.

Expose the new field in debugfs as well.

[ Upstream commit 76f99ae5b54d48430d1f0c5512a84da0ff9761e0 ]

Linux spreads out the non managed interrupt across the possible target CPUs
to avoid vector space exhaustion.

Managed interrupts are treated differently, as for them the vectors are
reserved (with guarantee) when the interrupt descriptors are initialized.

When the interrupt is requested a real vector is assigned. The assignment
logic uses the first CPU in the affinity mask for assignment. If the
interrupt has more than one CPU in the affinity mask, which happens when a
multi queue device has less queues than CPUs, then doing the same search as
for non managed interrupts makes sense as it puts the interrupt on the
least interrupt plagued CPU. For single CPU affine vectors that's obviously
a NOOP.

Restructre the matrix allocation code so it does the 'best CPU' search, add
the sanity check for an empty affinity mask and adapt the call site in the
x86 vector management code.

<title>genirq/affinity: Spread IRQs to all available NUMA nodes</title>

[ Upstream commit b82592199032bf7c778f861b936287e37ebc9f62 ]

If the number of NUMA nodes exceeds the number of MSI/MSI-X interrupts
which are allocated for a device, the interrupt affinity spreading code
fails to spread them across all nodes.

The reason is, that the spreading code starts from node 0 and continues up
to the number of interrupts requested for allocation. This leaves the nodes
past the last interrupt unused.

This results in interrupt concentration on the first nodes which violates
the assumption of the block layer that all nodes are covered evenly. As a
consequence the NUMA nodes above the number of interrupts are all assigned
to hardware queue 0 and therefore NUMA node 0, which results in bad
performance and has CPU hotplug implications, because queue 0 gets shut
down when the last CPU of node 0 is offlined.

Go over all NUMA nodes and assign them round-robin to all requested
interrupts to solve this.

<title>genirq: Fix race on spurious interrupt detection</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 746a923b863a1065ef77324e1e43f19b1a3eab5c upstream.

Commit 1e77d0a1ed74 ("genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of
threaded irqs") made detection of spurious interrupts work for threaded
handlers by:

a) incrementing a counter every time the thread returns IRQ_HANDLED, and
b) checking whether that counter has increased every time the thread is
   woken.

However for oneshot interrupts, the commit unmasks the interrupt before
incrementing the counter.  If another interrupt occurs right after
unmasking but before the counter is incremented, that interrupt is
incorrectly considered spurious:

time
 |  irq_thread()
 |    irq_thread_fn()
 |      action-&gt;thread_fn()
 |      irq_finalize_oneshot()
 |        unmask_threaded_irq()            /* interrupt is unmasked */
 |
 |                  /* interrupt fires, incorrectly deemed spurious */
 |
 |    atomic_inc(&amp;desc-&gt;threads_handled); /* counter is incremented */
 v

This is observed with a hi3110 CAN controller receiving data at high volume
(from a separate machine sending with "cangen -g 0 -i -x"): The controller
signals a huge number of interrupts (hundreds of millions per day) and
every second there are about a dozen which are deemed spurious.

In theory with high CPU load and the presence of higher priority tasks, the
number of incorrectly detected spurious interrupts might increase beyond
the 99,900 threshold and cause disablement of the interrupt.

In practice it just increments the spurious interrupt count. But that can
cause people to waste time investigating it over and over.

Fix it by moving the accounting before the invocation of
irq_finalize_oneshot().
