[PATCH v1] hwmon: (lm90) Use edge-triggered interrupt

[PATCH v1] hwmon: (lm90) Use edge-triggered interrupt

[Dmitry Osipenko]

The LM90 driver uses level-based interrupt triggering. The interrupt
handler prints a warning message about the breached temperature and
quits. There is no way to stop interrupt from re-triggering since it's
level-based, thus thousands of warning messages are printed per second
once interrupt is triggered. Use edge-triggered interrupt in order to
fix this trouble.

We can't do that. Problem is that many of the devices supported by this driver
behave differently when it comes to interrupts. Specifically, the interrupt
handler is supposed to reset the interrupt condition (ie reading the status
register should reset it). If that is the not the case for a specific chip,
we'll have to update the code to address the problem for that specific chip.
The above code would probably just generate a single interrupt while never
resetting the interrupt condition, which is obviously not what we want to
happen.

The nct1008/72 datasheet [1] says that reading the status register
doesn't reset interrupt until temperature is returned back into normal
state, which is what I'm witnessing.

[1] https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/nct1008-d.pdf

Page 10 "Status Register":

"Reading the status register clears the five flags, Bit 6 to Bit 2,
provided the error conditions causing the flags to beset  have  gone
away.  A  flag  bit  can  be  reset  only  if  the corresponding
value    register    contains    an    in-limit measurement or if the
sensor is good."

So the interrupt handler doesn't actually stop interrupt from
reoccurring and the whole KMSG is instantly spammed with:

...
[  217.484034] lm90 0-004c: temp2 out of range, please check!
[  217.484569] lm90 0-004c: temp2 out of range, please check!
[  217.485006] systemd-journald[179]: /dev/kmsg buffer overrun, some
messages lost.
[  217.485109] lm90 0-004c: temp2 out of range, please check!
[  217.485699] lm90 0-004c: temp2 out of range, please check!
[  217.486235] lm90 0-004c: temp2 out of range, please check!

[  217.486874] systemd-journald[179]: /dev/kmsg buffer overrun, ...

It's interesting that the very first version of the nct1008-support
patch used edge-triggered interrupt flags [2].

Limiting the interrupt rate could be an alternative solution.

A lot of this depends on the chip and its wiring, as well as on chip
configuration. Even for a specific chip there may be configuration
dependencies. The interrupt configuration in situations like this
should really be determined by devicetree configuration, and not
be hardcoded. Is this a devicetree based system ? If so, there should
be an entry for this chip pointing to the interrupt, and that entry
should include a trigger mask. That mask should be set to edge
triggered.

A sleep in an interrupt handler to "prevent" an interrupt storm
is never acceptable.

This is a device-tree based system, in particular it's NVIDIA Tegra30
Nexus 7. The interrupt support was originally added to the lm90 driver
by Wei Ni who works at NVIDIA and did it for the Tegra boards. The Tegra
device-trees are specifying the trigger mask and apparently they all are
cargo-culted and wrong because they use IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH, while it
should be IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING.

The IRQF flag in devm_request_threaded_irq() overrides the trigger mask
specified in a device-tree. IIUC, the interrupt is used only by OF-based
devices, hence I think we could simply remove the IRQF flag from the
code and fix the device-trees. Does it sound good to you?

Be fair, no one is perfect.

It should probably be both IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING and IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING,
and the interrupt handler should call hwmon_notify_event() instead of
clogging the kernel log, but that should be done in a separate patch.

Anyway, the tegra30 dts files in the upstream kernel either use
IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW or no interrupts for nct1008. The Nexus 7 dts file
in the upstream kernel has no interrupt configured (and coincidentally
it was you who added that entry). Where do you see IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH ?

Yes, that is a better approach.

This is a very minor problem, so no wonder that nobody noticed or
bothered to fix it yet. I'm just clarifying the status here.

For now I see that the rising edge isn't needed, the TEMP_ALERT goes
HIGH by itself when temperature backs to normal. But I will try to
double check.

Thank you for suggestion, I will take a look.

I have a patch that will add the interrupt property, it's stashed
locally for the next kernel release.

IIUC, it's not only the Tegra30 dts, but all the TegraXXX boards that
use IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW are in the same position.

Thank you for reviewing this patch. I'll prepare v2.

The point is that a sysfs event should be sent to userspace on both
edges, not only when an alarm is raised. But, you are correct,
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING is currently not needed since sysfs events
are not generated.

I still don't see a IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH, though.

Ok, thank you for the clarification.

Could you please clarify why you're looking for HIGH and not for LOW?
The TEMP_ALERT is active-low.

Because you stated earlier:

"... cargo-culted and wrong because they use IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH ..."

That was a typo, my bad.
