[PATCH 0/7] Provide and use generic_handle_irq_safe() where appropriate.

[PATCH 0/7] Provide and use generic_handle_irq_safe() where appropriate.

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

generic_handle_irq() must be used from primary IRQ-handler (chain
handler/ interrupt controller entry). It is low level code and the
function expects that interrupts are disabled at entry point.

This isn't the case for invocations from tasklets, workqueues or the
primary interrupt handler on PREEMPT_RT. Once this gets noticed a
"local_irq_disable|safe()" is added. To avoid further confusion this
series adds generic_handle_irq_safe() which can be used from any context
and adds a few user.

This is the same desc as for generic_handle_irq(). I suggest to add

I think "with care" is not obvious enough. Can you describe it a little?

[PATCH 2/7] i2c: core: Use generic_handle_irq_safe() in i2c_handle_smbus_host_notify().

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

The i2c-i801 driver invokes i2c_handle_smbus_host_notify() from his
interrupt service routine. On PREEMPT_RT i2c-i801's handler is forced
threaded with enabled interrupts which leads to a warning by
handle_irq_event_percpu() assuming that irq_default_primary_handler()
enabled interrupts.

i2c-i801's interrupt handler can't be made non-threaded because the
interrupt line is shared with other devices.

Use generic_handle_irq_safe() which can invoked with disabled and enabled
interrupts.

No, they are not relevant because none of them can be reproduced on a
v5.12+ kernel or any of <v5.12 stable maintained trees.

They triggered in the past only with the `threadirqs' option on the
commandline and this has been fixed by commit

[PATCH 4/7] mfd: hi6421-spmi-pmic: Use generic_handle_irq_safe().

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

generic_handle_irq() is invoked from a regular interrupt service
routing. This handler will become a forced-threaded handler on
PREEMPT_RT and will be invoked with enabled interrupts. The
generic_handle_irq() must be invoked with disabled interrupts in order
to avoid deadlocks.

Instead of manually disabling interrupts before invoking use
generic_handle_irq() which can be invoked with enabled and disabled
interrupts.
