* [PATCH] genirq core: fix handle_level_irq()Ingo Molnar2006-09-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | while porting the -rt tree to 2.6.18-rc7 i noticed the following screaming-IRQ scenario on an SMP system: 2274 0Dn.:1 0.001ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.010ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.020ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.029ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.039ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.048ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.058ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.068ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.077ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.087ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.097ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into -mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much wider than anything else.)

* [PATCH] genirq: Allow fasteoi handler to retrigger disabled interruptsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-07-031-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Make the fasteoi handler mark disabled interrupts as pending if they happen anyway. This allow implementation of a delayed disable scheme with the fasteoi handler.

* [ARM] 3690/1: genirq: Introduce and make use of dummy irq chipThomas Gleixner2006-07-011-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Thomas Gleixner From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> ARM has a couple of really dumb interrupt controllers. Implement a generic one and fixup the ARM migration. ARM reused the no_irq_chip for this purpose, but this does not work out for platforms which are not converted to the new interrupt type handling model.

* [PATCH] genirq: add chip->eoi(), fastack -> fasteoiIngo Molnar2006-06-291-14/+11Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up the fastack concept by turning it into fasteoi and introducing the ->eoi() method for chips. This also allows the cleanup of an i386 EOI quirk - now the quirk is cleanly separated from the pure ACK implementation.

* [PATCH] genirq: fasteoi handler: handle interrupt disablingBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-06-291-1/+4

* [PATCH] genirq: add irq-chip supportThomas Gleixner2006-06-291-0/+525
Enable platforms to use the irq-chip and irq-flow abstractions: allow setting of the chip, the type and provide highlevel handlers for common irq-flows.
