      [PATCH] srcu-3: RCU variant permitting read-side blocking · 621934ee
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side
critical sections.  SRCU is as follows:

o	Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each
	srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods.  This is
	critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking
	reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other
	subsystems.

o	The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(),
	and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct.

o	The SRCU primitives must be called from process context.

o	srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to
	the matching srcu_read_unlock().  Realtime RCU avoids the
	need for this by storing the state in the task struct,
	but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through
	multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct
	would therefore require either arbitrary space in the
	task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting.  So I
	kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller.

	Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu()
	while in an SRCU read-side critical section.

o	There is no call_srcu().  It would not be hard to implement
	one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system.
	(Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does
	-not- permit readers to sleep!!!)  So, if you want it,
	please tell me why...

      [PATCH] msi: simplify msi sanity checks by adding with generic irq code · 1f80025e
      由 Eric W. Biederman 提交于 
      Currently msi.c is doing sanity checks that make certain before an irq is
destroyed it has no more users.

By adding irq_has_action I can perform the test is a generic way, instead of
relying on a msi specific data structure.

By performing the core check in dynamic_irq_cleanup I ensure every user of
dynamic irqs has a test present and we don't free resources that are in use.

In msi.c this allows me to kill the attrib.state member of msi_desc and all of
the assciated code to maintain it.

To keep from freeing data structures when irq cleanup code is called to soon
changing dyanamic_irq_cleanup is insufficient because there are msi specific
data structures that are also not safe to free.

      [PATCH] genirq: irq: add a dynamic irq creation API · 3a16d713
      由 Eric W. Biederman 提交于 
      With the msi support comes a new concept in irq handling, irqs that are
created dynamically at run time.

Currently the msi code allocates irqs backwards.  First it allocates a
platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it
figures out from the vector which irq you are on.

This msi backwards allocator suffers from two basic problems.  The allocator
suffers because it is trying to do something that is architecture specific in
a generic way making it brittle, inflexible, and tied to tightly to the
architecture implementation.  The alloctor also suffers from it's very
backwards nature as it has tied things together that should have no
dependencies.

To solve the basic dynamic irq allocation problem two new architecture
specific functions are added: create_irq and destroy_irq.

create_irq takes no input and returns an unused irq number, that won't be
reused until it is returned to the free poll with destroy_irq.  The irq then
can be used for any purpose although the only initial consumer is the msi
code.

destroy_irq takes an irq number allocated with create_irq and returns it to
the free pool.

Making this functionality per architecture increases the simplicity of the irq
allocation code and increases it's flexibility.

dynamic_irq_init() and dynamic_irq_cleanup() are added to automate the
irq_desc initializtion that should happen for dynamic irqs.

      [PATCH] genirq: irq: add moved_masked_irq · e7b946e9
      由 Eric W. Biederman 提交于 
      Currently move_native_irq disables and renables the irq we are migrating to
ensure we don't take that irq when we are actually doing the migration
operation.  Disabling the irq needs to happen but sometimes doing the work is
move_native_irq is too late.

On x86 with ioapics the irq move sequences needs to be:
edge_triggered:
  mask irq.
  move irq.
  unmask irq.
  ack irq.
level_triggered:
  mask irq.
  ack irq.
  move irq.
  unmask irq.

We can easily perform the edge triggered sequence, with the current defintion
of move_native_irq.  However the level triggered case does not map well.  For
that I have added move_masked_irq, to allow me to disable the irqs around both
the ack and the move.

Q: Why have we not seen this problem earlier?

A: The only symptom I have been able to reproduce is that if we change
   the vector before acknowleding an irq the wrong irq is acknowledged.
   Since we currently are not reprogramming the irq vector during
   migration no problems show up.

   We have to mask the irq before we acknowledge the irq or else we could
   hit a window where an irq is asserted just before we acknowledge it.

   Edge triggered irqs do not have this problem because acknowledgements
   do not propogate in the same way.

      [PATCH] genirq: irq: convert the move_irq flag from a 32bit word to a single bit · a24ceab4
      由 Eric W. Biederman 提交于 
      The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by
the irq infrastructure.  The two big issues I address are an artificially
small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq.  My
primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where
necessary to keep them from breaking.

- To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu,
  vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector.

  With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no
  longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit.  Removing a lot of brittle
  special cases.

  For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi.

- Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more
  patches.  But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code
  even knows what a vector is.

In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least
one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number.
This driver is clearly buggy today.  But this has become a class of bugs that
it is now much easier to hit.

This patch:

This is a minor space optimization.  In practice I don't think this has any
affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is
not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag
field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.
