[PATCH v2 0/4] irq: sun4i IRQ 0 / ENMI fixes

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

Here is v2 of my sun4i IRQ 0 / ENMI fixes fixes, changelog below:

v2:

PATCH 1/4 irq: Add handle_fasteoi_late_irq irq handler
New patch by Thomas Gleixner, adding a new irq handler with the "call eoi
after the irq-handler has run its course" behavior we need to avoid double
irqs on the ENMI.

PATCH 2/4 irqchip: sun4i: Fix irq 0 not working
Modified to avoid spurious calls to the irq 0 handler, as suggested by Maxime.

PATCH 3/4 irqchip: sun4i: Fix a comment about mask register
Added Maxime's Acked-by

PATCH 4/4 irqchip: sun4i: Use handle_fasteoi_late_irq for the
New patch switching the handler for irq 0 over to the new
handle_fasteoi_late_irq handler, thereby fixing the double interrupts issue

Thanks for all the help to all involved.

Regards,

Hans

[PATCH v2 1/4] irq: Add handle_fasteoi_late_irq irq handler

[Hans de Goede]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Add an irq handler for transparent controllers

Only a single callback will be issued to the chip: an ->eoi() call when
the interrupt has been serviced. Same as handle_fasteoi_irq, but
we avoid the eoi when the interrupt is masked due to a
threaded handler. The eoi will be issued right before the unmask.

And how is that different from the non threaded case?

    mask()
    ack()	<-- irq line is still active
    handle()	<-- irq line goes inactive. So this happens
    		     after the ack as above
    unmask()

No, it's not a device property. Its an irq chip property. There are
interrupt chips which handle that case fine and making this a device
property might even break such interrupt chips. e.g. ioapic handles
that nicely but it would use ack_edge() on a level interrupt when the
device driver requests that. And the edge and level mode of the ioapic
are substantially different. Go figure.

The general policy is that device drivers should be oblivious of the
underlying interrupt controller implementation as much as possible.

If the interrupt chip has this behaviour then handle_level_irq as the
flow handler is the wrong thing to start with because it always acks
before calling the handler.

Due to the fact that we run the primary handler with interrupts
disabled, we should avoid the mask/unmask dance for the non threaded
case completely. handle_fasteoi_irq does that, except that it does not
provide the eoi() before unmask in the threaded case and it has an
extra eoi() even in the masked case which is pointless for interrupt
chips like the one you are dealing with.

[PATCH v2 2/4] irqchip: sun4i: Fix irq 0 not working

[Hans de Goede]

SUN4I_IRQ_VECTOR_REG containing 0 can mean one of 3 things:
1) no more irqs pending
2) irq 0 pending
3) spurious irq

So if we immediately get a reading of 0, check the irq-pending reg
to differentiate between 2 and 3. We only do this once to avoid
the extra check in the common case of 1) hapening after having
read the vector-reg once.

[PATCH v2 3/4] irqchip: sun4i: Fix a comment about mask register initialization

[Hans de Goede]

The comment was claiming that we were masking all irqs, while the code actually
*un*masks all of them.

[PATCH v2 4/4] irqchip: sun4i: Use handle_fasteoi_late_irq for the ENMI (irq 0)

[Hans de Goede]

The ENMI needs to have the ack done *after* clearing the interrupt source,
otherwise we will get a spurious interrupt for each real interrupt. Switch
to the new handle_fasteoi_late_irq handler which gives us the desired behavior.

Hmmm, I wonder if that actually does something.

There's been a patch floating around that I was sure was merged, but
apparently wasn't that remove sun4i_irq_ack, because the register we
were writing to are in read only, and it wasn't doing anything.

Could that solve the other NMI-related issue we have with Carlo's
patches?

Yes, I think that the issue is the same. I'll submit a new revision for
the irqchip patchset soon.
The only thing that it is not clear to me is whether the problem is
still there for the NMI controller also for edge-triggered interrupts or
not (hard to verify it experimentally).

Yes, I think that the issue is the same. I'll submit a new revision for
the irqchip patchset soon.
The only thing that it is not clear to me is whether the problem is
still there for the NMI controller also for edge-triggered interrupts or
not (hard to verify it experimentally).

Right, I think that what Maxime meant is dropping the ack for all but IRQ 0,
and I've just run some tests and the ack indeed seems to be unnecessary for
all the other IRQs on this irqchip.

That's not really true. The flags affect all interrupts which share
that chip.

Yep, I figured out as much myself too while thinking a bit more about this
this morning.

So what I'm going to do in my next version of this patch is use 2
irqchip structures for the sun4i irqchip, one to describe the special
IRQ 0 and for all the others.

As mentioned in my previous mail doing an ack (or an eio) seems to
be unnecessary for all but IRQ 0.

I do wonder if handle_level_irq is the right handle*irq function
to use in this case, since this is strictly used in the non smp
case I think that the mask / unmask done by handle_level_irq is
not necessary for non threaded handlers. So what would be the
correct handle*irq function to use in this case ?

Note the irqs are level irqs. IOW they may stay asserted while
the handler runs because of the handler and a new irq raising.

Regards,

Hans

As mentioned in my previous mail doing an ack (or an eio) seems to
be unnecessary for all but IRQ 0.

I do wonder if handle_level_irq is the right handle*irq function
to use in this case, since this is strictly used in the non smp
case I think that the mask / unmask done by handle_level_irq is
not necessary for non threaded handlers. So what would be the
correct handle*irq function to use in this case ?

Note the irqs are level irqs. IOW they may stay asserted while
the handler runs because of the handler and a new irq raising.

Yep, I figured out as much myself too while thinking a bit more about this
this morning.

So what I'm going to do in my next version of this patch is use 2
irqchip structures for the sun4i irqchip, one to describe the special
IRQ 0 and for all the others.

As mentioned in my previous mail doing an ack (or an eio) seems to
be unnecessary for all but IRQ 0.

I do wonder if handle_level_irq is the right handle*irq function
to use in this case, since this is strictly used in the non smp
case I think that the mask / unmask done by handle_level_irq is
not necessary for non threaded handlers. So what would be the
correct handle*irq function to use in this case ?

Note the irqs are level irqs. IOW they may stay asserted while
the handler runs because of the handler and a new irq raising.

Regards,

Hans

Right. You could be creative and use fasteoi plus an empty eoi
callback in the chip for irq 1-N. That way you only mask and unmask in
the threaded case.
