[PATCH] PCI: let pci_request_irq properly deal with threaded interrupts

[PATCH] PCI: let pci_request_irq properly deal with threaded interrupts

[Heiner Kallweit]

If we have a threaded interrupt with the handler being NULL, then
request_threaded_irq() -> __setup_irq() will complain and bail out
if the IRQF_ONESHOT flag isn't set. Therefore check for the handler
being NULL and set IRQF_ONESHOT in this case.

This change is needed to migrate the mei_me driver to
pci_alloc_irq_vectors() and pci_request_irq().

I'd like an ack from Thomas because this requirement about IRQF_ONESHOT
usage isn't mentioned in the request_threaded_irq() function doc or

Sure.

That's the related comment in __setup_irq():

 * The interrupt was requested with handler = NULL, so
 * we use the default primary handler for it. But it
 * does not have the oneshot flag set. In combination
 * with level interrupts this is deadly, because the
 * default primary handler just wakes the thread, then
 * the irq lines is reenabled, but the device still
 * has the level irq asserted. Rinse and repeat....
 *
 * While this works for edge type interrupts, we play
 * it safe and reject unconditionally because we can't
 * say for sure which type this interrupt really
 * has. The type flags are unreliable as the
 * underlying chip implementation can override them.

 * IRQF_ONESHOT - Interrupt is not reenabled after the hardirq handler finished.
 *                Used by threaded interrupts which need to keep the
 *                irq line disabled until the threaded handler has been run.

Right. The documentation really needs some love and care. :(

Yes, request for pure threaded interrupts are rejected if the oneshot flag
is not set. The reason is that this would be deadly especially with level
triggered interrupts because the primary default handler just wakes the
thread and then reenables interrupts, which will make the interrupt come
back immediately and the thread won't have a chance to actually shut it up
in the device.

That made me look into that code again and I found that we added a flag for
irq chips to tell the core that the interrupt is one shot safe, i.e. that
it can be requested w/o IRQF_ONESHOT. That was initially added to optimize
MSI based interrupts which are oneshot safe by implementation.

  dc9b229a58dc ("genirq: Allow irq chips to mark themself oneshot safe")

The original patch added that flag to the x86 MSI irqchip code, but that
part was not applied for reasons which slipped from memory. It might be
worthwhile to revisit that in order to avoid the mask/unmask overhead for
such cases.

Anyway for the patch in question:

Possibly these other request_threaded_irq() callers are similarly
broken?  I can't tell for sure about tda998x_create(), but all the
others certainly call request_threaded_irq() with "handler == NULL"
and irqflags that do not contain IRQF_ONESHOT:

  max8997_muic_probe()
    request_threaded_irq(virq, NULL, ..., IRQF_NO_SUSPEND, ...)

  tda998x_create()
    request_threaded_irq(client->irq, NULL, ..., irqd_get_trigger_type(), ...)
    (I can't tell what irqd_get_trigger_type() does)

  ab8500_btemp_probe()
  ab8500_charger_probe()
    request_threaded_irq(irq, NULL, ..., IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_NO_SUSPEND, ...)

  lp8788_set_irqs()
    request_threaded_irq(virq, NULL, ..., 0, ...)

  max77686_rtc_probe()
    request_threaded_irq(info->virq, NULL, ..., 0, ...)

  wm8350_register_irq()
    request_threaded_irq(irq + wm8350->irq_base, NULL, ..., flags, ...)
    (I think all callers of wm8350_register_irq() supply 0 for "flags")

It reads the trigger type back from the irq chip (level/edge/polarity) but
does not return with the ONESHOT bit set.

Yup, that would actually be beneficial to a range of interrupt
controllers (only an obscure GPIO driver makes use of this flag).

We could also consider extending this to support interrupt
hierarchies, as __setup_irq() seems only concerned with the top of the
stack (an IRQ provided by a generic MSI stack and backed by an irqchip
providing IRQCHIP_ONESHOT_SAFE would go unnoticed).

I guess not many people (myself included) know the intricacies well
enough to have noticed.  This probably coupled with insufficient
checking/warning about such practices in the IRQ subsystem.

There are quite a few different devices here, so my assumption would
be that interrupt handling still works in these cases.

If we know certain configurations are incorrect or incompatible, might
I suggest we add some form of alert to bring these to the attention of
unknowing contributors?

What tree are you (Bjorn) using there?  Looking in my git history,
request_threaded_irq() was added in January 2014, as:

+               irqf_trigger =
+                       irqd_get_trigger_type(irq_get_irq_data(client->irq));
+               ret = request_threaded_irq(client->irq, NULL,
+                                          tda998x_irq_thread,
+                                          irqf_trigger | IRQF_ONESHOT,
+                                          "tda998x", priv);

and updated more recently for the CEC support in ae81553c30ef
("drm/i2c: tda998x: allow interrupt to be shared") to be:

-               irqf_trigger =
+               irq_flags =
                        irqd_get_trigger_type(irq_get_irq_data(client->irq));
+               irq_flags |= IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_ONESHOT;
                ret = request_threaded_irq(client->irq, NULL,
-                                          tda998x_irq_thread,
-                                          irqf_trigger | IRQF_ONESHOT,
+                                          tda998x_irq_thread, irq_flags,
                                           "tda998x", priv);

In all cases, IRQF_ONESHOT has been set for this threaded interrupt.

I've also checked drm-next, and it doesn't show anything like what
Bjorn quoted.

Confused.  Bjorn, can you double check that what you think are
erroneous request_threaded_irq() calls are actually as per what
you quoted please?

max77686 works fine because it it is nested IRQ. Parent has ONESHOT flag set.

I was looking at v4.18-rc1, but in the case of tda998x_create(), I
overlooked this line:

  irq_flags |= IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_ONESHOT;

I'm not an expert on that area, but if MSI is oneshot-safe in general,
then we could do the following in the framework instead of touching
every MSI irq_chip. Opinions?
I tested on X86 and at least my system is still running.

Would it be sufficient if one irq_chip in the hierarchy is oneshot-safe?

Looks about right, though there might be dragons. MSI is not always as sane
as it should be...

I think the top most chip is the key, the rest of the hierarchy is
irrelevant because the top most chip is the one which is responsible for
not creating an interrupt storm after the interrupt got acknowledged.

When saying "MSI isn't always sane", are you referring to the hardware or
the controller driver implementation? Basically for me the question is
whether we would be able to fix the issue if we meet such a dragon,
or whether we would have to revert the change.
Do you think the chance of a dragon is low enough? Or better add the
flag only to the X86 PCI MSI irqchip for now?

It's hardware unfortunately, so it might be a revert. PCI-MSI should be
safe, but the wild MSI variants in SoCs might be the actual dragon caves.

I think PCI-MSI in general would be not too risky. Famous last words.

pci_msi_create_irq_domain() is used by controller drivers for PCI(e)
controllers in SoCs like Mediatek, Armada, ..
I assume you're referring to some other (non-PCI) SoC-internal
MSI mechanism when saying "wild variants", right?
