This is a backport of the patches accepted to the Linux mainline related to mvebu SoC (Armada XP and Armada 370) between Linux v3.11, and Linux v3.12. This work mainly covers: * Ground work for sharing the pxa nand driver(drivers/mtd/nand/pxa3xx_nand.c) between the PXA family,and the Armada family. * Further updates to the mvebu MBus. * Work and ground work for enabling MSI on the Armada family. * some phy / mdio bus initialization related work. * Device tree binding documentation update.

Subject: [PATCH 085/203] irqchip: armada-370-xp: fix IPI race condition
|
|
|
|
In the Armada 370/XP driver, when we receive an IRQ 0, we read the
|
|
list of doorbells that caused the interrupt from register
|
|
ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS. This gives the list of IPIs that
|
|
were generated. However, instead of acknowledging only the IPIs that
|
|
were generated, we acknowledge *all* the IPIs, by writing
|
|
~IPI_DOORBELL_MASK in the ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS register.
|
|
|
|
This creates a race condition: if a new IPI that isn't part of the
|
|
ones read into the temporary "ipimask" variable is fired before we
|
|
acknowledge all IPIs, then we will simply loose it. This is causing
|
|
scheduling hangs on SMP intensive workloads.
|
|
|
|
It is important to mention that this ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS
|
|
register has the following behavior: "A CPU write of 0 clears the bits
|
|
in this field. A CPU write of 1 has no effect". This is what allows us
|
|
to simply write ~ipimask to acknoledge the handled IPIs.
|
|
|
|
Notice that the same problem is present in the MSI implementation, but
|
|
it will be fixed as a separate patch, so that this IPI fix can be
|
|
pushed to older stable versions as appropriate (all the way to 3.8),
|
|
while the MSI code only appeared in 3.13.
