[PATCH 00/33] dyn_array and nr_irqs support v4

[Yinghai Lu]

Please check dyn_array support for x86
v3: split changing to nr_irqs to small patches
    fix checkpatch error
    reorder the patch sequence to make dyn_array support go at first
        so could use that with arrays other than NR_IRQS
v4: add CONFIG_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ with list to use condensed irq_desc array
    so could use 32 init, and init more if needed.

now: x86 32bit: have CONFIG_HAVE_DYN_ARRAY
     x86 64bit: have CONFIG_HAVE_DYN_ARRAY and CONFIG_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ

left:
a. hook irq_2_iommu to irq_desc ?
b. expand /proc/interrupts to process > nr_irqs
c. expand to use irq > nr_irqs for msi

notes: may break some arch compling...

It looks like you might possibly be iterating to something usable.
Breaking architectures is not acceptable however.

My suggestion for a non-breaking path:
- Kill NR_IRQS in then generic code.
  With Alan's serial patch and my kstat patch it looks like we have
  the worst of that.

- Introduce get_irq_desc and the functions or function modifications
  that pass a struct irq_desc * into the genirq code.

  Although I absolutely hate the name get_irq_desc as it implies we are
  reference counting something and need a corresponding put_irq_desc.
  Since the lifetime rules don't require that.  Please just call the
  function irq_desc().

- Update arch/x86 to do everything interesting with irq_desc pointers.

- Start dynamically allocating irq_desc and irq_cfg.

will use Alan's patch.at first.
already reused your patch about kstat. and move kstat_irqs to irq_desc.

how about get_irq_desc_without_new()?

Possibly irq_desc_with_new() or even create_irq_desc in the one or two code paths that care.
Everywhere else can reasonably assume that the irq_desc entries have either been setup, or that
the irq number is invalid.

Part of what I am thinking is that there should never be a patch
that does s/NR_IRQS/nr_irqs/ that is just pointless noise.

Either we need a new abstraction like for_each_irq or to update the
code to the current best practices.

Which means the patches should be uncontroversial and mergeble on their
own with no weird dependencies.

will use irq_desc_with_new() toghether irq_desc()

for some platform like 32bit, may not like to mess up with
CONFIG_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ, to have dyn_array to take small nr_irqs with
probing.

already add for_each_irq_desc(irq, desc)...

| #ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_DYN_ARRAY
| /* could be removed if we get rid of all irq_desc reference */
| extern struct irq_desc irq_desc[NR_IRQS];
| #else
| extern struct irq_desc *irq_desc;
| #endif
|
| #define for_each_irq_desc(irq, desc)            \
|        for (irq = 0, desc = irq_desc; irq < nr_irqs; irq++, desc =
&irq_desc[irq])
|
|#else
|
|extern struct irq_desc *irq_descX;
|#define for_each_irq_desc(irqX, desc)           \

A lot of these are range checks so could be replaced by a single
valid_irq(irq) test.

Yes.  My first impression was that with NR_IRQS dead valid_irq could
easily become. #define valid_irq(irq) ((irq) != 0) However thinking
just a little more since ultimately we will know which irqs have
something hooked up to them we might actually be able to say something
more interesting.  So I guess actually having a valid irq function
makes sense.  Instead of doing the idiomatic if (irq) logic inline.

Not really - there are lots of cases where we sanity check an IRQ passed
from user space or module parameter configuration. So we do actually need

	valid_irq(irq)		((irq) > 0 && (irq) < nr_irqs)

[or relevant per arch alternatives]

For a sparse IRQ you might want to call an arch specific bit of C to do
the validating. Not sure that matters too much though as must user set
interrupts are ISA 8)

> anyway why 0 is invalid instead of -1U...?

So you can write the natural thing in C 

	if (!dev->irq)
		poll_device();

Because 0 is easier to understand to a user when specifying in a module
