Revert "genirq: assert that irq handlers are indeed running in hardirq context"

2009-05-01T13:16:04Z

This reverts commit 044d408409cc4e1bc75c886e27ca85c270db104c. The commit added a warning when handle_IRQ_event() is called outside of hard interrupt context. This breaks the generic tasklet based interrupt resend mechanism which is used when the hardware has no way to retrigger the interrupt. So we get a warning for a use case which is correct and worked for years. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

x86, irq: Remove IRQ_DISABLED check in process context IRQ move

2009-04-14T13:21:13Z

As discussed in the thread here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123964468521142&w=2 Eric W. Biederman observed: > It looks like some additional bugs have slipped in since last I looked. > > set_irq_affinity does this: > ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_PENDING_IRQ > if (desc->status & IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT || desc->status & IRQ_DISABLED) { > cpumask_copy(desc->affinity, cpumask); > desc->chip->set_affinity(irq, cpumask); > } else { > desc->status |= IRQ_MOVE_PENDING; > cpumask_copy(desc->pending_mask, cpumask); > } > #else > > That IRQ_DISABLED case is a software state and as such it has nothing to > do with how safe it is to move an irq in process context. [...] > > The only reason we migrate MSIs in interrupt context today is that there > wasn't infrastructure for support migration both in interrupt context > and outside of it. Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process context. One of the patches in the series did disable_irq(dev->irq); irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu)); enable_irq(dev->irq); with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled and moving the interrupt in process context. IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code. Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4ab622e3c99bd59f14cc and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally. Reported-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Acked-by: "Eric W.

PM: Introduce functions for suspending and resuming device interrupts

2009-03-30T19:46:54Z

Introduce helper functions allowing us to prevent device drivers from getting any interrupts (without disabling interrupts on the CPU) during suspend (or hibernation) and to make them start to receive interrupts again during the subsequent resume. These functions make it possible to keep timer interrupts enabled while the "late" suspend and "early" resume callbacks provided by device drivers are being executed. In turn, this allows device drivers' "late" suspend and "early" resume callbacks to sleep, execute ACPI callbacks etc. The functions introduced here will be used to rework the handling of interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and resume. Namely, interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right before suspending sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function, before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during resume).
