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 ] Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Cc: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> Cc: linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org Cc: linux-pci@vger.kernel.org Cc: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Cc: Sumit Saxena <sumit.saxena@broadcom.com> Cc: Kashyap Desai <kashyap.desai@broadcom.com> Cc: Shivasharan Srikanteshwara <shivasharan.srikanteshwara@broadcom.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190216172228.512444498@linutronix.de |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
