Several virtualization use-cases either don't support 32 MultiMSIs
(Xen/VMware) or have significant drawbacks to their use (KVM's vIOMMU,
which is required to support 32 MSI, needs to allocate an alternate
system memory space for each device using vIOMMU (e.g. 8GB VM mem and
2 cards => 8 + 2 * 8 = 24GB host memory required)). Support these
cases by enabling a 1 MSI fallback mode.
Whenever all 32 MSIs requested are not available, a second request for
a single MSI is made. Its success is the initiator of single MSI mode.
This mode causes all interrupts generated by the device to be directed
to the 0th MSI (firmware >=v1.10 will do this as a response to the PCIe
MSI capability configuration). Likewise, all interrupt handlers for the
device are registered to the 0th MSI.
Since the DBC interrupt handler checks if the DBC is in use or if
there is any pending changes, the 'spurious' interrupts are
disregarded. If there is work to be done, the standard threaded IRQ
handler is dispatched.
On every interrupt, the MHI handler wakes up its threaded interrupt
handler, and attempts to wake any waiters for MHI state events.
Performance is within +-0.6% for test cases that typify real world
use. Larger differences ([-4,+132]%, avg +47%) exist for very simple
tasks (e.g. addition) compiled for single NSPs. It is assumed that the
small work and many interrupts typically cause contention (e.g. 16 NSPs
vs 4 CPUs), as evidenced by the standard deviation between runs also
decreasing (r=-0.48 between delta(Performace_test) and
delta(StdDev_test/Avg_test))

+IRQ Storm Mitigation
+--------------------
+
While the AIC100 DMA Bridge hardware implements an IRQ storm mitigation
mechanism, it is still possible for an IRQ storm to occur. A storm can happen
if the workload is particularly quick, and the host is responsive. If the host

IRQs over 5 minutes while keeping the host system stable, and having the same
workload throughput performance (within run to run noise variation).
+Single MSI Mode
+---------------
+
+MultiMSI is not well supported on all systems; virtualized ones even less so
+(circa 2023). Between hypervisors masking the PCIe MSI capability structure to
+large memory requirements for vIOMMUs (required for supporting MultiMSI), it is
+useful to be able to fall back to a single MSI when needed.
+
+To support this fallback, we allow the case where only one MSI is able to be
+allocated, and share that one MSI between MHI and the DBCs. The device detects
+when only one MSI has been configured and directs the interrupts for the DBCs
+to the interrupt normally used for MHI. Unfortunately this means that the
+interrupt handlers for every DBC and MHI wake up for every interrupt that
+arrives; however, the DBC threaded irq handlers only are started when work to be
+done is detected (MHI will always start its threaded handler).
+
+If the DBC is configured to force MSI interrupts, this can circumvent the
+software IRQ storm mitigation mentioned above. Since the MSI is shared it is
+never disabled, allowing each new entry to the FIFO to trigger a new interrupt.
