I tested this, and it doesn't work. Without IRQCHIP_EOI_THREADED,
.irq_eoi is called at the end of the hard IRQ handler. This unmasks the
IRQ before the irqthread has a chance to run, so it causes an interrupt
storm for any threaded level IRQ (I saw this happen for sun8i_thermal).
With IRQCHIP_EOI_THREADED, .irq_eoi is delayed until after the irqthread
runs. This is good. Except that the call to unmask_threaded_irq() is
inside a check for IRQD_IRQ_MASKED. And IRQD_IRQ_MASKED will never be
set because .irq_mask is NULL. So the end result is that the IRQ is
never EOI'd and is masked permanently.
If you set .flags = IRQCHIP_EOI_THREADED, and additionally set .irq_mask
and .irq_unmask to a dummy function that does nothing, the IRQ core will
properly set/unset IRQD_IRQ_MASKED, and the IRQs will flow as expected.
But adding dummy functions seems not so ideal, so I am not sure if this
is the best solution.

This series only tries to optimize a particular case in handle_fasteoi_irq()
for T-HEAD PLIC. I am not sure about this series either.
Although, we do need separate compatible strings for T-HEAD PLIC
because T-HEAD PLIC is not compliant with RISC-V PLIC specification.

devm_request_threaded_irq(struct device *dev, unsigned int irq,
irq_handler_t handler, irq_handler_t thread_fn
I think you should pull down the IRQ level signal in "handler" and put
the backend progress into "thread_fn".
Could you give out your driver code?

I don't think we should use IRQCHIP_EOI_THREADED because it makes the
IRQ path complex, we need to let the driver separate their "handler" &
"thread_fn" properly.
How do you think?

It's ununderstandable, we need to find a way.

This series is totally broken indeed, because it assumes that
enable/disable are a substitute to mask/unmask. Nothing could be further
from the truth. mask/unmask must be implemented, and enable/disable
supplement them if the HW requires something different at startup time.
If you have an 'automask' behaviour and yet the HW doesn't record this
in a separate bit, then you need to track this by yourself in the
irq_eoi() callback instead. I guess that you would skip the write to
the CLAIM register in this case, though I have no idea whether this
breaks
the HW interrupt state or not.
There is an example of this in the Apple AIC driver.

This series is totally broken indeed, because it assumes that
enable/disable are a substitute to mask/unmask. Nothing could be further
from the truth. mask/unmask must be implemented, and enable/disable
supplement them if the HW requires something different at startup time.
If you have an 'automask' behaviour and yet the HW doesn't record this
in a separate bit, then you need to track this by yourself in the
irq_eoi() callback instead. I guess that you would skip the write to
the CLAIM register in this case, though I have no idea whether this
breaks
the HW interrupt state or not.
There is an example of this in the Apple AIC driver.

After re-studying irqchip, I agree that you are right. The csky-mpintc
driver needs to be corrected, I will send patches asap. I hope you can
continue to help review.
handle_fasteoi_irq itself has avoided mask/unmask, so my understanding
is wrong. The mask/unmask design can prevent "rogue interrupts" from
damaging the system. C-SKY guys encountered the thread_irq interrupt
storm problem. The solution at that time was to pull the interrupt
signal in the handler and put the rest in thread_fn. If we implemented
the mask/unmask correctly in csky-mpintc, it was unnecessary.

The problem is when enable bit is 0 for that irq_number,
"writel(d->hwirq, handler->hart_base + CONTEXT_CLAIM)" wouldn't affect
the hw state machine. Then this irq would enter in ack state and no
continues irqs could come in.

Really? This means that you cannot mask an interrupt while it is being

This looks pretty dodgy. You are relying on interrupts being globally
masked on the CPU, I guess. It probably works today, but man, what a
terrible HW implementation.
You'll definitely have to move this into a c900-specific callback.

If the completion ID does not match an interrupt source that is
currently enabled for the target, the completion is silently ignored.
So, C9xx completion depends on enable-bit.

If the completion ID does not match an interrupt source that is
currently enabled for the target, the completion is silently ignored.
So, C9xx completion depends on enable-bit.

Is that what the PLIC spec says? Or what your implementation does? I
can understand that one implementation would be broken, but if the
PLIC architecture itself is broken, that's far more concerning.

That clause sounds to me like it is due to the SiFive implementation, which
the RISC-V PLIC specification is based on. Since the PLIC spec is still a
draft I would expect it to change before release.

The SiFive PLIC has been adopted by various RISC-V platforms (including
SiFive themselves). Almost all existing RISC-V boards have PLIC as the
interrupt controller.
Considering the wide usage of PLIC across existing platforms, the RISC-V
International has adopted it as an official RISC-V non-ISA spec. Of course,
the RISC-V PLIC spec needs to follow the process for RISC-V non-ISA spec
but changing the RISC-V PLIC spec now would mean all existing RISC-V
platforms will become non-compliant.
The RISC-V AIA spec is intended to replace the RISC-V PLIC spec as the
new interrupt controller spec for future RISC-V platforms.

The SiFive PLIC has been adopted by various RISC-V platforms (including
SiFive themselves). Almost all existing RISC-V boards have PLIC as the
interrupt controller.
Considering the wide usage of PLIC across existing platforms, the RISC-V
International has adopted it as an official RISC-V non-ISA spec. Of course,
the RISC-V PLIC spec needs to follow the process for RISC-V non-ISA spec
but changing the RISC-V PLIC spec now would mean all existing RISC-V
platforms will become non-compliant.
The RISC-V AIA spec is intended to replace the RISC-V PLIC spec as the
new interrupt controller spec for future RISC-V platforms.

I would expect the review process to produce a proper specification, rather
than a verbatim copy of the SiFive datasheet, and clarify some ambgiuous
and implementation specific language. Clarifying the specification does
not necessarily make all existing implementations non-compliant, as this
has been done numerous times with other RISC-V specifications.

Yes, we are dealing with a broken/non-compliant PLIC
implementation.
The RISC-V PLIC spec defines a very different behaviour for the
interrupt claim (i.e. readl(claim)) and interrupt completion (i.e.
writel(claim)). The T-HEAD PLIC implementation does things
different from what the RISC-V PLIC spec says because it will
mask an interrupt upon interrupt claim whereas PLIC spec says
it should only clear the interrupt pending bit (not mask the interrupt).
Quoting interrupt claim process (chapter 9) from PLIC spec:
"The PLIC can perform an interrupt claim by reading the claim/complete
register, which returns the ID of the highest priority pending interrupt or
zero if there is no pending interrupt. A successful claim will also atomically
clear the corresponding pending bit on the interrupt source."

That's not the point I'm making. According to Guo, the PLIC (any
implementation of it) will ignore a write to claim on a masked
interrupt.
If that's indeed correct, then a sequence such as:
(1) irq = read(claim)
(2) mask from the interrupt handler with the right flags so that it
isn't done lazily
(3) write(irq, claim)
will result in an interrupt blocked in ack state (and probably no more
interrupt for this CPU at this priority). That would be an interesting
bug in the current code, but also a pretty bad architectural choice.

level so if an interrupt is masked then only that interrupt is blocked
for all CPUs but other interrupts can still be raised.

Do you mean that another interrupt of the same priority will be able
to be taken on *this* CPU, despite the completion being silently
ignored?

This part is not clear in the RISC-V PLIC spec so I will request for
adding clarification.

1.
I think PLIC only could receive a new coming IRQ after completion:
claim IRQ-0
complete IRQ-0
claim IRQ-1
complete IRQ-1
claim IRQ-2
complete IRQ-2
Any recursion would break the PLIC, right? That's why we need to mask
the IRQ before entering this IRQ thread_fn.
2.
plic_handle_irq -> readl(claim)
handle_fasteoi_irq -> if (desc->istate & IRQS_ONESHOT) mask_irq(desc);
handle_fasteoi_irq -> chip->irq_eoi(&desc->irq_data); // failied
Seems all ONESHOT IRQs would be broken, right?

1.
I think PLIC only could receive a new coming IRQ after completion:
claim IRQ-0
complete IRQ-0
claim IRQ-1
complete IRQ-1
claim IRQ-2
complete IRQ-2
Any recursion would break the PLIC, right? That's why we need to mask
the IRQ before entering this IRQ thread_fn.
2.
plic_handle_irq -> readl(claim)
handle_fasteoi_irq -> if (desc->istate & IRQS_ONESHOT) mask_irq(desc);
handle_fasteoi_irq -> chip->irq_eoi(&desc->irq_data); // failied
Seems all ONESHOT IRQs would be broken, right?

No, I don't think that's acceptable, and I strongly suspect that other
irqchips have the opposite requirement. You'll have to keep the
workaround in the PLIC code and track the EOI vs unmask to do the
right thing in both callbacks.
