ARM64: Round-Robin dispatch IRQs between CPUs.
IRQ-CPU mapping is round robined on ARM64 to increase concurrency and allow multiple interrupts to be serviced at a time. This reduces the need for FIQ. Signed-off-by: Michael Zoran <[email protected]> drivers: irqchip: irq-bcm2835: Concurrency fix The commit shown in Fixes: aims to improve interrupt throughput by getting the handlers invoked on different CPU cores. It does so (*) by using an irq_ack hook to change the interrupt routing. Unfortunately, the IRQ status bits must be cleared at source, which only happens once the interrupt handler has run - there is no easy way for one core to claim one of the IRQs before sending the remainder to the next core on the list, so waking another core immediately results in a race with a chance of both cores handling the same IRQ. It is probably for this reason that the routing change is deferred to irq_ack, but that doesn't guarantee no clashes - after irq_ack is called, control returns to bcm2836_chained_handler_irq which proceeds to check for other pending IRQs at a time when the next core is probably doing the same thing. Since the whole point of the original commit is to distribute the IRQ handling, there is no reason to attempt to handle multiple IRQs in one interrupt callback, so the problem can be solved (or at least made much harder to reproduce) by changing a "while" into an "if", so that each invocation only handles one IRQ. (*) I'm not convinced it's as effective as claimed since irq_ack is called _after_ the interrupt handler, but the author thought it made a difference. See: #5214 #1794 Fixes: fd4c978 ("ARM64: Round-Robin dispatch IRQs between CPUs.") Signed-off-by: Phil Elwell <[email protected]>
