      [PATCH] x86_64: avoid wasting IRQs · 701067c4
      Natalie Protasevich 提交于
      I suggest to change the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices.
      
      Currently, each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the
      pin is used or not.  It is expected that each pin can potentually be
      engaged by a device inserted into the corresponding PCI slot.  However,
      this imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that employ
      many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2 chipset.
      
      It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the system
      with more that 9 I/O APICs.
      
      The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O
      APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ
      gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC.  It does not resolve the
      problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but
      eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large
      number of devices.
      
      I only implemented this for the ACPI boot, since if the system is this big
      and using newer chipsets it is probably (better be!) an ACPI based system
      :).  The change is completely "mechanical" and does not alter any internal
      structures or interrupt model/implementation.  The patch works for both
      i386 and x86_64 archs.  It works with MSIs just fine, and should not
      intervene with implementations like shared vectors, when they get worked
      out and incorporated.
      
      To illustrate, below is the interrupt distribution for 2-cell ES7000 with
      20 I/O APICs, and an Ethernet card in the last slot, which should be eth1
      and which was not configured because its IRQ exceeded allowable number (it
      actially turned out huge - 480!):

      Even though the system doesn't have that many devices, some don't get
      enabled only because of IRQ numbering model.
      
      This is the IRQ picture after the patch was applied:

      Not only we see the card in the last I/O APIC, but we are not even close to
      using up available IRQs, since we didn't waste any.

      [PATCH] x86/x86_64: pcibus_to_node · 8c5a0908
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Define pcibus_to_node to be able to figure out which NUMA node contains a
      given PCI device.  This defines pcibus_to_node(bus) in
      include/linux/topology.h and adjusts the macros for i386 and x86_64 that
      already provided a way to determine the cpumask of a pci device.
      
      x86_64 was changed to not build an array of cpumasks anymore.  Instead an
      array of nodes is build which can be used to generate the cpumask via
      node_to_cpumask.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
