Subject: [PATCH] drivers: irqchip: irq-bcm2835: Concurrency fix
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The commit shown in Fixes: aims to improve interrupt throughput by
|
||
|
|
getting the handlers invoked on different CPU cores. It does so (*) by
|
||
|
|
using an irq_ack hook to change the interrupt routing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, the IRQ status bits must be cleared at source, which only
|
||
|
|
happens once the interrupt handler has run - there is no easy way for
|
||
|
|
one core to claim one of the IRQs before sending the remainder to the
|
||
|
|
next core on the list, so waking another core immediately results in a
|
||
|
|
race with a chance of both cores handling the same IRQ. It is probably
|
||
|
|
for this reason that the routing change is deferred to irq_ack, but that
|
||
|
|
doesn't guarantee no clashes - after irq_ack is called, control returns
|
||
|
|
to bcm2836_chained_handler_irq which proceeds to check for other pending
|
||
|
|
IRQs at a time when the next core is probably doing the same thing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since the whole point of the original commit is to distribute the IRQ
|
||
|
|
handling, there is no reason to attempt to handle multiple IRQs in one
|
||
|
|
interrupt callback, so the problem can be solved (or at least made much
|
||
|
|
harder to reproduce) by changing a "while" into an "if", so that each
|
||
|
|
invocation only handles one IRQ.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(*) I'm not convinced it's as effective as claimed since irq_ack is
|
||
|
|
called _after_ the interrupt handler, but the author thought it made a
|
||
|
|
difference.
