      [PATCH] i386: In assign_irq_vector look at all vectors before giving up · 8339f000
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      When the world was a simple and static place setting up irqs was easy.
      It sufficed to allocate a linux irq number and a find a free cpu
      vector we could receive that linux irq on.  In those days it was
      a safe assumption that any allocated vector was actually in use
      so after one global pass through all of the vectors we would have
      none left.
      
      These days things are much more dynamic with interrupt controllers
      (in the form of MSI or MSI-X) appearing on plug in cards and linux
      irqs appearing and disappearing.  As these irqs come and go vectors
      are allocated and freed,  invalidating the ancient assumption that all
      allocated vectors stayed in use forever.
      
      So this patch modifies the vector allocator to walk through every
      possible vector before giving up, and to check to see if a vector
      is in use before assigning it.  With these changes we stop leaking
      freed vectors and it becomes possible to allocate and free irq vectors
      all day long.
      
      This changed was modeled after the vector allocator on x86_64 where
      this limitation has already been removed.  In essence we don't update
      the static variables that hold the position of the last vector we
      allocated until have successfully allocated another vector.  This
      allows us to detect if we have completed one complete scan through
      all of the possible vectors.
