[PATCH 1/2] genirq: Record dangling hwirq number into struct irq_data

From: Liao Chang
Date: Thu Aug 25 2022 - 02:11:44 EST


Following interrupt allocation process lead to some interrupts are
mapped in the low-level domain(Arm ITS), but they are never been mapped
at the higher level.

irq_domain_alloc_irqs_hierarchy(.., nr_irqs, ...)
its_irq_domain_alloc(..., nr_irqs, ...)
its_alloc_device_irq(..., nr_irqs, ...)
bitmap_find_free_region(..., get_count_order(nr_irqs))

Since ITS domain find a region of zero bits, the length of which must
aligned to power of two. If nr_irqs is 30, the length of zero bits is
actually 32, but only first 30 bits are really mapped.

On teardown, low-level domain only free these interrupts that actually
mapped, and leave last interrupts dangling in the ITS domain. Thus the
ITS device resources are never freed. On device driver reload, dangling
interrupts prevent ITS domain from allocating enough resource.

irq_domain_free_irqs_hierarchy(..., nr_irqs, ...)
its_irq_domain_free(..., irq_base + i, 1)
bitmap_release_region(..., irq_base + i, get_count_order(1))

John reported this problem to LKML and Marc provided a solution and fix
it in the generic code, see the discussion from Link tag. Marc's patch
fix John's problem, but does not take care of some corner case, look one
example below.

Step1: 32 interrupts allocated in LPI domain, but return the first 30 to
higher driver.

111111111111111111111111111111 11
|<------------0~29------------>|30,31|

Step2: interrupt #16~28 are released one by one, then #0~15 and #29~31
still be there.

1111111111111111 0000000000000 1 11
|<-----0~15----->|<---16~28--->|29|30,31|

Step#: on driver teardown, generic code will invoke ITS domain code
twice. The first time, #0~15 will be released, the second one, only #29
will be released(1 align to power of two).

0000000000000000 0000000000000 0 11
|<-----0~15----->|<---16~28--->|29|30,31|

In short summary, the dangling problem stems from the number of released
hwirq is less than the one of allocated hwirq in ITS domain. In order to
fix this problem, make irq_data record the number of allocated but
unmapped hwirq. If hwirq followed by some unmapped bits, ITS domain
record the number of unmapped bits to the last irq_data mapped to higher
level, when the last hwirq followed by unmapped hwirq is released, some
dangling bit will be clear eventualy, look back the trivial example
above.

Step1: record '2' into the irq_data.dangling of #29 hwirq.

111111111111111111111111111111 11
|<------------0~29------------>|30,31|
dangling: 000000000000000000000000000002

Step2: no change

1111111111111111 0000000000000 1 11
|<-----0~15----->|<---16~28--->|29|30,31|
dangling: 0000000000000000 0000000000000 2

Step3: ITS domain will release #30~31 since the irq_data.dangling of #29
is '2'.

0000000000000000 0000000000000 0 00
|<-----0~15----->|<---16~28--->|29|30,31|
dangling: 0000000000000000 0000000000000 2
