      genirq: Provide irq_wake_thread() · a92444c6
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      In course of the sdhci/sdio discussion with Russell about killing the
      sdio kthread hackery we discovered the need to be able to wake an
      interrupt thread from software.
      
      The rationale for this is, that sdio hardware can lack proper
      interrupt support for certain features. So the driver needs to poll
      the status registers, but at the same time it needs to be woken up by
      an hardware interrupt.
      
      To be able to get rid of the home brewn kthread construct of sdio we
      need a way to wake an irq thread independent of an actual hardware
      interrupt.
      
      Provide an irq_wake_thread() function which wakes up the thread which
      is associated to a given dev_id. This allows sdio to invoke the irq
      thread from the hardware irq handler via the IRQ_WAKE_THREAD return
      value and provides a possibility to wake it via a timer for the
      polling scenarios. That allows to simplify the sdio logic
      significantly.

      genirq: Provide synchronize_hardirq() · 18258f72
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      synchronize_irq() waits for hard irq and threaded handlers to complete
      before returning. For some special cases we only need to make sure
      that the hard interrupt part of the irq line is not in progress when
      we disabled the - possibly shared - interrupt at the device level.
      
      A proper use case for this was provided by Russell. The sdhci driver
      requires some irq triggered functions to be run in thread context. The
      current implementation of the thread context is a sdio private kthread
      construct, which has quite some shortcomings. These can be avoided
      when the thread is directly associated to the device interrupt via the
      generic threaded irq infrastructure.
      
      Though there is a corner case related to run time power management
      where one side disables the device interrupts at the device level and
      needs to make sure, that an already running hard interrupt handler has
      completed before proceeding further. Though that hard interrupt
      handler might wake the associated thread, which in turn can request
      the runtime PM to reenable the device. Using synchronize_irq() leads
      to an immediate deadlock of the irq thread waiting for the PM lock and
      the synchronize_irq() waiting for the irq thread to complete.
      
      Due to the fact that it is sufficient for this case to ensure that no
      hard irq handler is executing a new function which avoids the check
      for the thread is required.
      
      Add a function, which just monitors the hard irq parts and ignores the
      threaded handlers.
