Subject: [RFC 00/10] make iwlwifi RT friendly
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:33:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386750826-25219-1-git-send-email-emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> (raw)
RT folks have raised issues with iwlwifi wrt. RT kernel some time
ago. Johannes had a few patches to address this, but I had a few
concerns with them. This series tries to address the RT concerns:
* we don't do anything in hard-irq context besides stopping the
interrupts in the device.
* the interrupt cause is read from the irq handler and is handled
there.
This allows us to avoid the usage of _irqsave all over the driver
and also avoids any kind of locks in the hard-irq context.
We still have some work to do with the locks in the handler.
I believe the locking model can be improved there.
This patch series is split is very small patches. While this can
annoy the reader - it helped me much to make sure I don't do anything
wrong (well - I am still not sure) - and IMHO, it makes the review easier.
For example, in patch
iwlwifi: pcie: move the ICT / non-ICT handling functions
I just copy code from place to place without changing a bit. This makes
the significant diff smaller.
Emmanuel Grumbach (10):
iwlwifi: pcie: clean up ICT allocation code
iwlwifi: pcie: track interrupt mask in SW
iwlwifi: pcie: re-organize the PCIe ISR code
iwlwifi: pcie: move the ICT / non-ICT handling functions
iwlwifi: pcie: read the interrupt cause from the handler
iwlwifi: pcie: determine the interrupt type in the handler
iwlwifi: pcie: return inta from iwl_pcie_int_cause_{non_}ict
iwlwifi: pcie: no need to save inta in trans_pcie
iwlwifi: pcie: move interrupt prints to the common handler
iwlwifi: pcie: stop using _irqsave
