[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v3] xen: do not clear and mask evtchns in __xen_evtchn_do_upcall
Thomas,
I am trying to make the xen event channel handling code more consistent
with the corresponding native code: use the same irq handlers that the
native code would use for the same kind of interrupts, and use the
handlers in the same way.
A bit of informations about xen event channels: xen exports two bitmaps
in the shared_info page, one is used by xen to set which evtchn was
triggered (the bit has to be cleared by the guest to receive more evtchns
of the same kind); the other one is used by the guest to mask/unmask one
or more evtchns.
We used to unconditionally clear and mask an evtchn in the upcall
function even before calling the corresponding irq handler, because this
minimizes the amount of time during which we cannot receive any
notifications. However it messes with the semantic of the irq handler
and for this reason I want to remove it and make a better use of the irq
handlers to achieve the same results.
Considering your expertise in the area, I would appreciate any input you
can give me.
Thanks,
Stefano

xen: do not clear and mask evtchns in __xen_evtchn_do_upcall
Change the irq handler of evtchns and pirqs that don't need EOI (pirqs
that correspond to physical edge interrupts) to handle_edge_irq.
Use handle_fasteoi_irq for pirqs that need eoi (they generally
correspond to level triggered irqs), no risk in loosing interrupts
because we have to EOI the irq anyway.
This change has the following benefits:
- it uses the very same handlers that Linux would use on native for the
same irqs (handle_edge_irq for edge irqs and msis, and
handle_fasteoi_irq for everything else);
- it uses these handlers in the same way native code would use them: it
let Linux mask\unmask and ack the irq when Linux want to mask\unmask
and ack the irq;
- it fixes a problem occurring when a driver calls disable_irq() in its
handler: the old code was unconditionally unmasking the evtchn even if
the irq is disabled when irq_eoi was called.
See Documentation/DocBook/genericirq.tmpl for more informations.
