[PATCH v1 1/2] ata: libahci_platform: Get rid of dup message when IRQ can't be retrieved

[Andy Shevchenko]

platform_get_irq() will print a message when it fails.
No need to repeat this.

While at it, drop redundant check for 0 as platform_get_irq() spills
out a big WARN() in such case.

[PATCH v1 2/2] ata: libahci_platform: Remove bogus 32-bit DMA mask attempt

[Andy Shevchenko]

If 64-bit mask attempt fails, the 32-bit will fail by the very same reason.
Don't even try the latter. It's a continuation of the changes that contains,
e.g. dcc02c19cc06 ("sata_sil24: use dma_set_mask_and_coherent").

It should not be returned in the first place.

So, you admit that there is a code which does that? That code should be fixed
first. Have you sent a patch?

For the record it does not fix platform_get_irq_optional() AFAICS.

   I admit *what*?! That platfrom_get_irq() and its ilk return IRQ0 while they
shouldn't? =)

   I don't know how to uise it yet, and I'm a little busy with other IRQ0 issues ATM,
so I'm afraid you're on your own here...

   Again, why? My only issue is stoppping to return IRQ0 --- which it does. :-)

The reason you should be able to remove the "if (!irq)" test is that
platform_get_irq() never returns 0. At least, that is what the function kdoc
says. But looking at platform_get_irq_optional(), which is called by
platform_get_irq(), the out label is:

	WARN(ret == 0, "0 is an invalid IRQ number\n");
	return ret;

So 0 will be returned as-is. That is rather weird. That should be fixed to
return -ENXIO:

	if (WARN(ret == 0, "0 is an invalid IRQ number\n"))
		return -ENXIO;
	return ret;

Otherwise, I do not think that removing the "if (!irq)" hunk is safe. no ?

No, this is wrong for the same reasons I explained to Sergey.
The problem is that this is _optional API and it has been misdesigned.
Replacing things like above will increase the mess.

No. This is not a business of the caller to workaround implementation
details (bugs) of the core APIs.
If something goes wrong, then it's platform_get_irq() to blame, and
not the libahci_platform.

lore.kernel.org is the official mailing list archive for Linux kernel work
AFAIU. Other sites may do whatever they want with that information, so -->
they are unreliable. If you wish to follow the better process, use
lore.kernel.org. Understanding how it works takes no more than 5 minutes
by engineer with your kind of experience with Linux kernel development.

It's unsubstantiated statement. The vIRQ 0 shouldn't be returned by any of
those API calls. If it is the case, go and fix them, no need to workaround
in each of the callers.

   Look at the ACPI-specific GpioInt handling code (just above the out_not_found label) --
I'm not sure the check there is correct -- I'm not very familiar with ACPI, you seem to
know it much better. :-)
   Also, 0 can be specified via the normal IRQ resource. I know of e.g. the Alchemy MIPS SoCs
that have IRQ0 used by UART0; luckily, currently SoC IRQs are mapped starting at Linux IRQ8
(but it wasn't the case in the 2.6.1x time frame where we had issue with the serial driver)...

   What needs to be fixed in this case is the interrupt controller driver. Quoting Linus
(imprecisely :-)), IRQ #s should be either mapped starting with #1 or IRQ0 remapped at
the end of the controller's interrupt range... I currently have no information on the 
platforms requiring such kind of fixing (Alchemy don't seem to need it now)...

   There's a need to work around as long as IRQ0 ican be returned, otherwise we get

And what is your point here exactly? If == 0 case happens, it will be
immediately WARN() and reported (I hope) since it will mean bug in the code.

You mixed up HW IRQ with vIRQ. The former one may be 0 and it's completely valid case, while
the second one is not.

What do you mean by that? vIRQ is handled by IRQ core, IRQ controller driver
just a mere provider of the resource. And those exceptions for vIRQ == 0
shouldn't be propagated to the platform code or so.

Again, do not mix vIRQ (about which Linus ranted) and HW IRQ.

No problem. I just haven't got what other IRQ0 issues except fixing
platform_get_irq_optional() et al. could be possibly needed...

So, have you seen this warning (being reported) related to libahci_platform?
If no, what we are discussing about then? The workaround is redundant and
no need to have a dead code in the driver, really.

You get them unfunctioning anyways and you get the big WARN() even before this

   -ENXIO seems to me more fitting indeed (than -EINVAL that I used).

   What's wrong with replacing IRQ0 with -ENXIO now? platform_get_irq_optional()
(as in your patch) could then happily return 0 ISO -ENXIO. Contrarywise, if we don't
replace IRQ0 with -ENXIO, platform_get_irq_optional() will return 0 for both IRQ0
and missing IRQ! Am I clear enough? If you don't understand me now, I don't know what
to say... :-/

   I'm repeating myself already: we don't work around the bug in platform_get_irq(),
we're working around the driver subsystems that treat 0 specially (and so don't
support IRQ0); libata treats 0 as an indication of the polling mode (moreover,
it will curse if you pass to it both IRQ == 0 and a pointer to an interrupt handler!
Am I clear enough this time? :-)

   The drivers would be broken in not quite obvious ways. With IRQ0 check, they just
don't probe anymore. See the explanation of the IRQ0 check (in the drivers) in my
previous mail...

   As if that was enough...
   The IRQ0 problem exists for at least 15 (if not 20) years...

   I didn't. Linux expects the vIRQs (I called them Linux IRQs). In the 2.6.1x time frame
those corresponded 1:1 on Alchemy. Also, there's 8259 which is always mapped at vIRQ0 (or
the legacy drivers won't work).

   Well, request_irq() happilly takes vIRQ0. Moreover, there are 8253 drivers in e.g. the arch/x86/
(PPC and MIPS too) which do use vIRQ0.

Please, provide your analysis, I really don't see how it's possible.
If you prove that, we must fix the severe bug then.

Believe, big WARNs are quite likely to be reported if not by humans, then by
CIs and fuzzers. So, the hope is rather to word 'immediately'.

This is an exception which is not in the scope here. Let me remind that the

platform_get_irq_optional() is supposed to return 0 when there is no IRQ found,
but everything else went alright.

I'm tired to waste my time to go circles.

Again, the problem is that platform_get_irq_optional() has wrong set of output
values. And your patch doesn't fix that. And it has nothing to do with my code
here.

See above. Read my messages again, please. I'm really tired to explain again
and again the same.

TL;DR: You simply try to "fix" in a correct place but in a wrong way.

Yes, you do.

Yes, and it doesn't contradict to what my patch does.
Read comment against platform_get_irq(). If it returns 0,
it's not a business of the callers to work around it.

Am I clear enough this time? :-)

It seems you haven't got them at all. The problems of platform_get_irq() et al
shouldn't be worked around in the callers.

   BTW, looking at [1], this comment is wrong:

It doesn't mention 0 which you return from this function.

Thinking more about this, shouldn't this change go into platform_get_irq()
instead of platform_get_irq_optional() ?

The way I see it, I think that the intended behavior for
platform_get_irq_optional() is:
1) If have IRQ, return it, always > 0
2) If no IRQ, return 0
3) If error, return < 0
no ?

And for platform_get_irq(), case (2) becomes an error.
Is this the intended semantic ?
I am really not sure here as the functions kdoc description and the code do not
match. Which one is correct ?

Yes, this one seems fine to me. It would be good to get a different review

    Also, your commit log is wrong in the description of how to handle the result:

<<
Now:
	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

    The (ret != -ENXIO) check also succeeds on the (positive) IRQ #s, so the 
following code becomes unreachable. :-/

    Why? platform_get_irq() currently just calls platform_get_irq_optional()...

    That does include the IRQ0 case, right?

   I completely agree, I (after thinking a bit) have no issues with that...

    I don't see how it's different from the current behavior. But we can do 
that as well, I just don't see whether it's really better...

IRQ 0 being invalid, I think that case should be dealt with internally within
platform_get_irq_optional() and warn/error return. IRQ 0 showing up would thus
be case (3), an error.

The problem I see is that the current behavior is unclear: what does
platform_get_irq_optional() returning 0 mean ? IRQ == 0 ? or "no IRQ" ? I think
it should be the latter rather than the former. Note that the function could
return ENOENT (or similar) for the "no IRQ" case. With that, case (2) goes away,
but then I do not see any difference between platform_get_irq_optional() and
platform_get_irq().

If the preferred API semantic is to allow returning IRQ 0 with a warning, then
the kdoc comments of platform_get_irq_optional() and platform_get_irq() are
totally broken, and the code for many drivers is probably wrong too.

Indeed, thanks!

Should be
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)

At least this is my understanding on how it _should_ be.

Precisely!

The problem is that platform_get_irq_optional() doesn't follow above mentioned
logic and needs to be fixed. While trying to fix that it appears that it's not
an simple and 5 minutes task since it needs a revisiting of all callers first
followed by rectifying the API itself.

What IRQ0 case? We do not expect platform APIs ever to handle vIRQ0
(mind letter v) case. Platforms, where it's the case, should handle
it exceptionally on per architecture basis.

Yeah, what we need to do is that (roughly a roadmap):
 - revisit callers of platform_get_irq_optional() to be prepared for
   new behaviour
 - rewrite platform_get_irq() to return -ENOENT
 - rewrite platform_get_irq_optional() to return 0 on -ENOENT

This is how other similar (i.e. _optional) APIs do.

Sounds like a good plan to me. In the mean time though, your patch 1/2 should
keep the "if (!irq)" test and return an error for that case. No ?
