2014-05-03genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of threaded irqsThomas Gleixner
Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded interrupts is broken in two ways: - note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible. - note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for the spurious detection unprotected. To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have implicit serialization. If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and return. If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the spurious detector. If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have found at least one device driver who cared.

2013-11-13genirq: Prevent spurious detection for unconditionally polled interruptsThomas Gleixner
On a 68k platform a couple of interrupts are demultiplexed and "polled" from a top level interrupt. Unfortunately there is no way to determine which of the sub interrupts raised the top level interrupt, so all of the demultiplexed interrupt handlers need to be invoked. Given a high enough frequency this can trigger the spurious interrupt detection mechanism, if one of the demultiplex interrupts returns IRQ_NONE continuously. But this is a false positive as the polling causes this behaviour and not buggy hardware/software. Introduce IRQ_POLLED which can be set at interrupt chip setup time via irq_set_status_flags(). The flag excludes the interrupt from the spurious detector and from all core polling activities.

2012-12-11genirq: Avoid deadlock in spurious handlingThomas Gleixner
commit 52553ddf(genirq: fix regression in irqfixup, irqpoll) introduced a potential deadlock by calling the action handler with the irq descriptor lock held. Remove the call and let the handling code run even for an interrupt where only a single action is registered. That matches the goal of the above commit and avoids the deadlock. Document the confusing action = desc->action reload in the handling loop while at it.

2011-11-28genirq: fix regression in irqfixup, irqpollEdward Donovan
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.

2011-11-03genirq: Fix irqfixup, irqpoll regressionEdward Donovan
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.

2011-06-03irq: Handle spurios irq detection for threaded irqsSebastian Andrzej Siewior
The detection of spurios interrupts is currently limited to first level handler. In force-threaded mode we never notice if the threaded irq does not feel responsible. This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards it to the spurious detector. If the primary handler returns only IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets called again from the threaded handler.

2011-02-19genirq: Mark polled irqs and defer the real handlerThomas Gleixner
With the chip.end() function gone we might run into a situation where a poll call runs and the real interrupt comes in, sees IRQ_INPROGRESS and disables the line. That might be a perfect working one, which will then be masked forever. So mark them polled while the poll runs. When the real handler sees IRQ_INPROGRESS it checks the poll flag and waits for the polling to complete. Add the necessary amount of sanity checks to it to avoid deadlocks.

2008-07-18genirq: enable polling for disabled screaming irqsEric W. Biederman
When we disable a screaming irq we never see it again. If the irq line is shared or if the driver half works this is a real pain. So periodically poll the handlers for screaming interrupts. I use a timer instead of the classic irq poll technique of working off the timer interrupt because when we use the local apic timers note_interrupt is never called (bug?). Further on a system with dynamic ticks the timer interrupt might not even fire unless there is a timer telling it it needs to. I forced this case on my test system with an e1000 nic and my ssh session remained responsive despite the interrupt handler only being called every 10th of a second. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2008-05-02genirq: reenable a nobody cared disabled irq when a new driver arrivesThomas Gleixner
Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line. I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not work anymore so I can not verify). Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box usable again. Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware before starting the new kernel. This patch should reduce the need for using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.

2007-07-16Improve behaviour of spurious IRQ detectAlan Cox
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.

irqpoll is broken on some architectures that don't use the IRQ 0 for the timer interrupt like IA64. This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag. Each architecture is handled in a separate pach. As I left the irq == 0 as condition, this should not break existing architectures that use timer_irq == 0 and that I did't address with that patch (because I don't know). This patch: This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag that the interrupt registration code could use for the interrupt it wants to use for IRQ polling. Because this must not be the timer interrupt, an additional flag was added instead of re-using the IRQF_TIMER constant. Until all architectures will have an IRQF_IRQPOLL interrupt, irq == 0 will stay as alternative as it should not break anything. Also, note_interrupt() is called on CPU-specific interrupts to be used as interrupt source for IRQ polling.
