I will try to expand the explanation a litte, but I dont see any
reason to block calling both handlers, no ill effects would come
for a driver having both and it is useful if any soundwire
specific steps are needed that arn't on other control buses.
I think it's problematic if the peripheral tries to wake-up the manager
from clock-stop with both an in-band wake (i.e. drive the data line
high) and a separate GPIO-based interrupt. It's asking for trouble IMHO.
We spent hours in the MIPI team to make sure there were no races between
the manager-initiated restarts and peripheral-initiated restarts, adding
a 3rd mechanism in the mix gives me a migraine already.
Apologies but I am struggling see why this has any bearing on
the case of a device that does both an in-band and out-of-band
wake. The code we are adding in this patch will only be called in the
in-band case. handle_nested_irq doesn't do any hardware magic or
schedule any threads, it just calls a function that was provided
when the client called request_threaded_irq. The only guarantee
of atomicity you have on the interrupt_callback is sdw_dev_lock
and that is being held across both calls after the patch.
Could you be a little more specific on what you mean by this
represents a 3rd mechanism, to me this isn't a new mechanism just
an extra callback? Say for example this patch added an
interrupt_callback_early to sdw_slave_ops that is called just
before interrupt_callback.
Well, the main concern is exiting the clock-stop. That is handled by the
manager and could be done
a) as the result of the framework deciding that something needs to be
done (typically as a result of user/applications starting a stream)
b) by the device with an in-band wake in case of e.g. jack detection or
acoustic events detected
c) same as b) but with a separate out-of-band interrupt.
I'd like to make sure b) and c) are mutually-exclusive options, and that
the device will not throw BOTH an in-band wake and an external interrupt.
Why would it be a problem if the device did (b) and (c)?
(c) is completely invisible to the SoundWire core and not something
that it has to handle. The handler for an out-of-band interrupt must
call pm_runtime_get_sync() or pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and that
would wake its own driver and the host controller.
