Hi Yinghai,

should not we printk\warn if radix_tree_insert() is get failed?
This is hardly (if ever) happen on machines with small number
of interrupts allocated but anyway.

Or I miss something?

It looks to me like we can use radix_tree_lookup_slot and
radix_tree_replace_slot here.  Since we don't have to allocate
memory radix_tree_replace_slot can not fail.  Using a case
that can never fail seems better than worry about a case that
can rarely fail.

Ouch!  Unless I misread this code this will leave nr_irqs at
NR_IRQS_LEGACY. aka 16.

Let's do something stupid and simple.
nr_irqs = nr_cpus_ids * 256;  /* Semi-arbitrary number */

Ideally we would set "nr_irqs = 0x7fffffff;" but we have just enough
places using nr_irqs that I think those loops would get painful if we
were to do that.

This would be 1048576 on the biggest machines we currently support.
Now, the number of IRQ *vectors* is limited to
(224-system vectors)*(cpu count), so one could argue that if there is
anything that is not semi-arbitrary it would be that number, but that
doesn't account for vector sharing.

Do we have any place which requires nr_irqs to be *stable*, or can we
simply treat it as a high water mark for IRQ numbers used?

Ideally we should presumably get rid of nr_irqs completely?

(256 - 32 - 16 - system_vectors) * cpu_count + 16

the 16 is legacy from IRQ0 to 15 has domain with all cpus set.

later could move arch_probe_nr_irqs out of early_irq_init,
call it after init_IRQ(), so could use first_system_vector exactly
instead of 0x10

... assuming you're on a platform with a legacy PIC.  I would like to
see the legacy PIC hard-coded assumptions to go away, and instead be
done as runtime allocations on the relevant platforms.

I can't even parse this sentence, never mind figuring out what it would
mean.  Certainly there is a better way to do that?

I goofed and misread this.  I was looking at nr_irqs_gsi which
is initialized to 16.

We actually initialize nr_irqs to NR_IRQS, which has an unfortunately
convoluted formula, that winds up being 8*NR_CPUS or 32 *MAX_IO_APICS.
in the extreme cases.

Since there are still arrays sized at NR_IRQS (bleh) we can not
increase nr_irqs to be greater than NR_IRQS.

So YN can you do the simple thing here and simply remove
arch_probe_nr_irqs().  Sane code doesn't care how big nr_irqs is and
code that does care needs to be fixed.

Except we have irq sources that we know about that are never utilized,
Think of unconnected inputs to ioapics.

I don't know if we ever actually perform vector sharing.  The only case
I recall where the code could share vectors is if the firmware tables
told us to irq sources were the same interrupt.  I don't think that
happens.  We do have the remains of support for vector sharing
in the code but I don't think it is utilized.  MSI interrupts certainly
can not share vectors.

My point with the semi-arbitrary number is that we should not think of
nr_irqs as something defined by the resources of the receivers of
interrupts.  NR_IRQS has never been that.  nr_irqs really is a limit
on how many interrupt sources we have.

> Do we have any place which requires nr_irqs to be *stable*, or can we

We have several loops that walk through the irq descriptors and look for
an unbound irq.  Which means having nr_irqs as a high water mark is not
going to work today.

Yes.  It was enough of a pain the first pass at it that we wound
up with nr_irqs, a value that can vary at boot time.

Once YH's radix tree changes get it in.  A war on NR_IRQS and nr_irqs
seems appropriate.

We probably will need to support that at some point, though, simply
because it's not all that hard to construct a system in which there are
more MSI-X interrupts than there are possible vectors in the system.

Until then we can do 224 * nr_cpus_ids, but it's still not the right thing.

nr_irqs is set to NR_IRQS before.

or you need have NR_IRQS = NR_CPUS * 256 at first,

and then make nr_irqs = nr_cpu_ids * 224 ?

Yep my mistake.

The important part is that NR_IRQS become an arbitrary number larger
than we can strictly support.

Based on my quick look the bad offenders (aka static sized arrays of
NR_IRQS) all look at NR_IRQS not nr_irqs.  So I don't see a point
in having nr_irqs < NR_IRQS.

So let's just kill arch_probe_nr_irqs() on x86.

Then we can worry about things like fixing xen and the interrupt
remapping code to not having NR_IRQS sized arrays.

arch/sh/kernel/irq.c:int __init arch_probe_nr_irqs(void)
arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c:int __init arch_probe_nr_irqs(void)
arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c:  *  if we move calling of
arch_probe_nr_irqs() after init_IRQ()
include/linux/interrupt.h:extern int arch_probe_nr_irqs(void);
kernel/irq/handle.c:    arch_probe_nr_irqs();
kernel/softirq.c:int __init __weak arch_probe_nr_irqs(void)

sh have sparse_irq now...it has it's own copy for arch_probe_nr_irqs...

YH overall this looks like a good patch series, that enables
additional cleanups beyond what it does.  Thank you for putting this
