genirq: Prevent oneshot irq thread race
Lars-Peter pointed out that the oneshot threaded interrupt handler code has the following race: CPU0 CPU1 hande_level_irq(irq X) mask_ack_irq(irq X) handle_IRQ_event(irq X) wake_up(thread_handler) thread handler(irq X) runs finalize_oneshot(irq X) does not unmask due to !(desc->status & IRQ_MASKED) return from irq does not unmask due to (desc->status & IRQ_ONESHOT) This leaves the interrupt line masked forever. The reason for this is the inconsistent handling of the IRQ_MASKED flag. Instead of setting it in the mask function the oneshot support sets the flag after waking up the irq thread. The solution for this is to set/clear the IRQ_MASKED status whenever we mask/unmask an interrupt line. That's the easy part, but that cleanup opens another race: CPU0 CPU1 hande_level_irq(irq) mask_ack_irq(irq) handle_IRQ_event(irq) wake_up(thread_handler) thread handler(irq) runs finalize_oneshot_irq(irq) unmask(irq) irq triggers again handle_level_irq(irq) mask_ack_irq(irq) return from irq due to IRQ_INPROGRESS return from irq does not unmask due to (desc->status & IRQ_ONESHOT) This requires that we synchronize finalize_oneshot_irq() with the primary handler. If IRQ_INPROGESS is set we wait until the primary handler on the other CPU has returned before unmasking the interrupt line again. We probably have never seen that problem because it does not happen on UP and on SMP the irqbalancer protects us by pinning the primary handler and the thread to the same CPU.
