genirq: Always force thread affinity

2012-11-12T19:07:18Z

Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases: 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified. 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to change its affinity. 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving the thread either. Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y) Reported-and-tested-by: Sankara Muthukrishnan Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.2.02.1209041738200.2754@ionos Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

irq: Set CPU affinity right on thread creation

2012-11-01T11:11:31Z

As irq_thread_check_affinity is called ONLY inside the while loop in the irq thread, the core affinity is set only when an interrupt occurs. This patch sets the core affinity right after the irq thread is created and before it waits for interrupts. In real-tiime targets that do not typically change the core affinity of irqs during run-time, this patch will save additional latency of an irq thread in setting the core affinity during the first interrupt occurrence for that irq.

genirq: Provide means to retrigger parent

2012-11-01T11:11:31Z

Attempts to retrigger nested threaded IRQs currently fail because they have no primary handler. In order to support retrigger of nested IRQs, the parent IRQ needs to be retriggered. To fix, when an IRQ needs to be resent, if the interrupt has a parent IRQ and runs in the context of the parent IRQ, then resend the parent. Also, handle_nested_irq() needs to clear the replay flag like the other handlers, otherwise check_irq_resend() will set it and it will never be cleared. Without clearing, it results in the first resend working fine, but check_irq_resend() returning early on subsequent resends because the replay flag is still set. Problem discovered on ARM/OMAP platforms where a nested IRQ that's also a wakeup IRQ happens late in suspend and needed to be retriggered during the resume process.

irqdomain: augment add_simple() to allocate descs

2012-10-10T06:57:26Z

Currently we rely on all IRQ chip instances to dynamically allocate their IRQ descriptors unless they use the linear IRQ domain. So for irqdomain_add_legacy() and irqdomain_add_simple() the caller need to make sure that descriptors are allocated. Let's slightly augment the yet unused irqdomain_add_simple() to also allocate descriptors as a means to simplify usage and avoid code duplication throughout the kernel. We warn if descriptors cannot be allocated, e.g. if a platform has the bad habit of hogging descriptors at boot time.
