From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>
This enables drivers to switch their interrupt handling between
exclusive and shared mode.
While there is generally no advantage in exclusive interrupt handling
patterns, at least one use case can benefit from adaptive handling:
Generic stub drivers that hand out PCI devices for unprivileged use in
virtualization or user space device driver scenarios. They need to mask
the interrupt until the unprivileged driver had a chance to process the
event. As generic IRQ masking at device level (via PCI config space) is
at least 10 times slower than disabling at interrupt controller level on
x86, we only want to apply the costly method when there is a real need.
The sharing notifier provides both the required information about the
number of interrupt handlers as well as a properly synchronized
execution context to run interrupt de-/registration and mode switch
procedures. The notifier is called with IRQN_SETUP_USED or
IRQN_SETUP_USED, respectively, during registration to allow setup
according to the current interrupt use. When the number of users is one
on entry of request_threaded_irq or on exit of free_irq, IRQN_SHARED or
IRQN_EXCLUSIVE, respectively, are signaled. Deregistration is signaled
as IRQN_SHUTDOWN to the removed notifier.
