The interrupt affinity spreading mechanism supports to spread out
affinities for one or more interrupt sets. A interrupt set contains one or
more interrupts. Each set is mapped to a specific functionality of a
device, e.g. general I/O queues and read I/O queus of multiqueue block
devices.
The number of interrupts per set is defined by the driver. It depends on
the total number of available interrupts for the device, which is
determined by the PCI capabilites and the availability of underlying CPU
resources, and the number of queues which the device provides and the
driver wants to instantiate.
The driver passes initial configuration for the interrupt allocation via a
pointer to struct irq_affinity.
Right now the allocation mechanism is complex as it requires to have a loop
in the driver to determine the maximum number of interrupts which are
provided by the PCI capabilities and the underlying CPU resources. This
loop would have to be replicated in every driver which wants to utilize
this mechanism. That's unwanted code duplication and error prone.
In order to move this into generic facilities it is required to have a
mechanism, which allows the recalculation of the interrupt sets and their
size, in the core code. As the core code does not have any knowledge about the
underlying device, a driver specific callback is required in struct
irq_affinity, which can be invoked by the core code. The callback gets the
number of available interupts as an argument, so the driver can calculate the
corresponding number and size of interrupt sets.
At the moment the struct irq_affinity pointer which is handed in from the
driver and passed through to several core functions is marked 'const', but for
the callback to be able to modify the data in the struct it's required to
remove the 'const' qualifier.
Add the optional callback to struct irq_affinity, which allows drivers to
recalculate the number and size of interrupt sets and remove the 'const'
qualifier.
For simple invocations, which do not supply a callback, a default callback
is installed, which just sets nr_sets to 1 and transfers the number of
spreadable vectors to the set_size array at index 0.
This is for now guarded by a check for nr_sets != 0 to keep the NVME driver
working until it is converted to the callback mechanism.
To make sure that the driver configuration is correct under all circumstances
the callback is invoked even when there are no interrupts for queues left,
i.e. the pre/post requirements already exhaust the numner of available
interrupts.
At the PCI layer irq_create_affinity_masks() has to be invoked even for the
case where the legacy interrupt is used. That ensures that the callback is
invoked and the device driver can adjust to that situation.
[ tglx: Fixed the simple case (no sets required). Moved the sanity check
for nr_sets after the invocation of the callback so it catches
broken drivers. Fixed the kernel doc comments for struct
irq_affinity and de-'This patch'-ed the changelog ]
