[PATCH 0/2] chelsio: cxgb: Use threaded interrupts for deferred work

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Patch #2 fixes an issue in which del_timer_sync() and tasklet_kill() is
invoked from the interrupt handler. This is probably a rare error case
since it disables interrupts / the card in that case.
Patch #1 converts a worker to use a threaded interrupt which is then
also used in patch #2 instead adding another worker for this task (and
flush_work() to synchronise vs rmmod).

This has been only compile tested.

[PATCH 1/2] chelsio: cxgb: Replace the workqueue with threaded interrupt

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

The external interrupt (F_PL_INTR_EXT) needs to be handled in a process
context and this is accomplished by utilizing a workqueue.

The process context can also be provided by a threaded interrupt instead
of a workqueue. The threaded interrupt can be used later for other
interrupt related processing which require non-atomic context without
using yet another workqueue. free_irq() also ensures that the thread is
done which is currently missing (the worker could continue after the
module has been removed).

Save pending flags in pending_thread_intr. Use the same mechanism
to disable F_PL_INTR_EXT as interrupt source like it is used before the
worker is scheduled. Enable the interrupt again once
t1_elmer0_ext_intr_handler() is done.

[PATCH 2/2] chelsio: cxgb: Disable the card on error in threaded interrupt

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

t1_fatal_err() is invoked from the interrupt handler. The bad part is
that it invokes (via t1_sge_stop()) del_timer_sync() and tasklet_kill().
Both functions must not be called from an interrupt because it is
possible that it will wait for the completion of the timer/tasklet it
just interrupted.

In case of a fatal error, use t1_interrupts_disable() to disable all
interrupt sources and then wake the interrupt thread with
F_PL_INTR_SGE_ERR as pending flag. The threaded-interrupt will stop the
card via t1_sge_stop() and not re-enable the interrupts again.

Hi! Thanks for your patch. Do all drivers that use worker threads need
to convert like this or only some?

In future revisions, please indicate the tree
you're targeting, net or net-next.  ie [PATCH net-next v1] I'd also
invert the two paragraphs and talk about patch #1 first.

There is no need but it does makes things easier.

I left it out on purpose since I have no chance on testing the change I
made. Technically both fix something and the bug was there since day
one and it is not something you likely trigger.
