genirq: Add a new IRQCHIP_EOI_THREADED flag

2014-03-14T12:43:33+00:00

The flag is necessary for interrupt chips which require an ACK/EOI
after the handler has run. In case of threaded handlers this needs to
happen after the threaded handler has completed before the unmask of
the interrupt.

The flag is only unseful in combination with the handle_fasteoi_irq
flow control handler.

It can be combined with the flag IRQCHIP_EOI_IF_HANDLED, so the EOI is
not issued when the interrupt is disabled or in progress.

genirq: Move kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu() to core

2014-03-04T16:37:54+00:00

No more users outside the core code. Put it into the poison
cabinet. That also gets rid of the linux/irq.h include in
kernel_stat.h

genirq: Provide irq_wake_thread()

2014-02-19T16:22:44+00:00

In course of the sdhci/sdio discussion with Russell about killing the
sdio kthread hackery we discovered the need to be able to wake an
interrupt thread from software.

The rationale for this is, that sdio hardware can lack proper
interrupt support for certain features. So the driver needs to poll
the status registers, but at the same time it needs to be woken up by
an hardware interrupt.

To be able to get rid of the home brewn kthread construct of sdio we
need a way to wake an irq thread independent of an actual hardware
interrupt.

Provide an irq_wake_thread() function which wakes up the thread which
is associated to a given dev_id. This allows sdio to invoke the irq
thread from the hardware irq handler via the IRQ_WAKE_THREAD return
value and provides a possibility to wake it via a timer for the
polling scenarios. That allows to simplify the sdio logic
significantly.

genirq: Introduce irq_do_set_affinity() to reduce duplicated code

2012-05-24T20:36:40+00:00

All invocations of chip->irq_set_affinity() are doing the same return
value checks. Let them all use a common function.

genirq: Get rid of unnecessary IRQTF_DIED flag

2012-03-09T16:19:09+00:00

Currently IRQTF_DIED flag is set when a IRQ thread handler calls do_exit()
But also PF_EXITING per process flag gets set when a thread exits. This
fix eliminates the duplicate by using PF_EXITING flag.

Also, there is a race condition in exit_irq_thread(). In case a thread's
bit is cleared in desc->threads_oneshot (and the IRQ line gets unmasked),
but before IRQTF_DIED flag is set, a new interrupt might come in and set
just cleared bit again, this time forever. This fix throws IRQTF_DIED flag
away, eliminating the race as a result.

[ tglx: Test THREAD_EXITING first as suggested by Oleg ]

genirq: Handle pending irqs in irq_startup()

2012-02-15T10:56:59+00:00

An interrupt might be pending when irq_startup() is called, but the
startup code does not invoke the resend logic. In some cases this
prevents the device from issuing another interrupt which renders the
device non functional.

Call the resend function in irq_startup() to keep things going.

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (core code)

2012-01-12T23:02:18+00:00

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
