Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded
interrupts is broken in two ways:
- note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared
interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none
of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by
calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account
IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible.
- note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not
serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for
the spurious detection unprotected.
To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded
interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have
implicit serialization.
If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we
check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If
not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and
return.
If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled
success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the
spurious detector.
If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we
disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have
found at least one device driver who cared.

On a 68k platform a couple of interrupts are demultiplexed and
"polled" from a top level interrupt. Unfortunately there is no way to
determine which of the sub interrupts raised the top level interrupt,
so all of the demultiplexed interrupt handlers need to be
invoked. Given a high enough frequency this can trigger the spurious
interrupt detection mechanism, if one of the demultiplex interrupts
returns IRQ_NONE continuously. But this is a false positive as the
polling causes this behaviour and not buggy hardware/software.
Introduce IRQ_POLLED which can be set at interrupt chip setup time via
irq_set_status_flags(). The flag excludes the interrupt from the
spurious detector and from all core polling activities.

Remove the call and let the handling code run even for an interrupt

Commit fa27271bc8d2("genirq: Fixup poll handling") introduced a
regression that broke irqfixup/irqpoll for some hardware configurations.
Amidst reorganizing 'try_one_irq', that patch removed a test that
checked for 'action->handler' returning IRQ_HANDLED, before acting on
the interrupt. Restoring this test back returns the functionality lost
since 2.6.39. In the current set of tests, after 'action' is set, it
must precede '!action->next' to take effect.
With this and my previous patch to irq/spurious.c, c75d720fca, all
IRQ regressions that I have encountered are fixed.

commit d05c65fff0 ("genirq: spurious: Run only one poller at a time")
introduced a regression, leaving the boot options 'irqfixup' and
'irqpoll' non-functional. The patch placed tests in each function, to
exit if the function is already running. The test in 'misrouted_irq'
exited when it should have proceeded, effectively disabling
'misrouted_irq' and 'poll_spurious_irqs'.
The check for an already running poller needs to be "!= 1" not "== 1"
as "1" is the value when the first poller starts running.

The detection of spurios interrupts is currently limited to first level
handler. In force-threaded mode we never notice if the threaded irq does
not feel responsible.
This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards
it to the spurious detector. If the primary handler returns only
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets
called again from the threaded handler.

With the chip.end() function gone we might run into a situation where
a poll call runs and the real interrupt comes in, sees IRQ_INPROGRESS
and disables the line. That might be a perfect working one, which will
then be masked forever.
So mark them polled while the poll runs. When the real handler sees
IRQ_INPROGRESS it checks the poll flag and waits for the polling to
complete. Add the necessary amount of sanity checks to it to avoid
deadlocks.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
There is no point in polling disabled lines.
percpu does not make sense at all because we only poll on the cpu
we're currently running on. Also polling per_cpu interrupts is racy as
hell. The handler runs without locking so we might get a huge
surprise.
If the timer interrupt needs polling, then we wont get there anyway.

We cannot walk the action chain unlocked. Even if IRQ_INPROGRESS is
set an action can be removed and we follow a null pointer. It's safe
to take the lock there, because the code which removes the action will
call synchronize_irq() which waits unlocked for IRQ_INPROGRESS going
away.

Impact: new feature
Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.
To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.
When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).
This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

When we disable a screaming irq we never see it again. If the irq
line is shared or if the driver half works this is a real pain. So
periodically poll the handlers for screaming interrupts.
I use a timer instead of the classic irq poll technique of working off
the timer interrupt because when we use the local apic timers
note_interrupt is never called (bug?). Further on a system with
dynamic ticks the timer interrupt might not even fire unless there is
a timer telling it it needs to.
I forced this case on my test system with an e1000 nic and my ssh
session remained responsive despite the interrupt handler only being
called every 10th of a second.

Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared
interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver
loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a
spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line.
I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not
work anymore so I can not verify).
Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and
mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the
interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq
line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the
spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the
one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box
usable again.
Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis
in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware
before starting the new kernel. This patch should reduce the need for
using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.

Currently we handle spurious IRQ activity based upon seeing a lot of
invalid interrupts, and we clear things back on the base of lots of valid
interrupts.
Unfortunately in some cases you get legitimate invalid interrupts caused by
timing asynchronicity between the PCI bus and the APIC bus when disabling
interrupts and pulling other tricks. In this case although the spurious
IRQs are not a problem our unhandled counters didn't clear and they act as
a slow running timebomb. (This is effectively what the serial port/tty
problem that was fixed by clearing counters when registering a handler
showed up)
It's easy enough to add a second parameter - time. This means that if we
see a regular stream of harmless spurious interrupts which are not harming
processing we don't go off and do something stupid like disable the IRQ
after a month of running. OTOH lockups and performance killers show up a
lot more than 10/second

With irqpoll enabled, trying to test the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag in the

So be a bit more careful about testing the flag by making sure to test
for that case.

irqpoll is broken on some architectures that don't use the IRQ 0 for the timer
interrupt like IA64. This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag.
Each architecture is handled in a separate pach. As I left the irq == 0 as
condition, this should not break existing architectures that use timer_irq ==
0 and that I did't address with that patch (because I don't know).
This patch:
This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag that the interrupt registration code could
use for the interrupt it wants to use for IRQ polling.
Because this must not be the timer interrupt, an additional flag was added
instead of re-using the IRQF_TIMER constant. Until all architectures will
have an IRQF_IRQPOLL interrupt, irq == 0 will stay as alternative as it should
not break anything.
Also, note_interrupt() is called on CPU-specific interrupts to be used as
interrupt source for IRQ polling.
