This is all because we started with a very simple design where we replaced the array with a get_penalty function. Set penalty function would dynamically reallocate the link list so that we have a design that works no matter what the number of IRQs are. As we hit the first problem on existing platform, we realized that we can't actually dynamically reallocate an interrupt because get_penalty function gets called from early boot stages where heap is not initialized yet. Then, we started restructuring the code so that we can discover the IRQs by iterating the link list rather than using an array. While transitioning into this new design, we forgot the fact that irq_get_penalty function became a fixed array penalty + dynamically calculated penalty. This line was trying to increment the static array but ended up gathering the dynamic pieces together.

Regardless of these, we hit four different bugs because we didn't understand the usage model. 1. You can't use kmalloc in IRQ get penalty 2. SCI IRQ type cannot be gathered from IRQ API 3. acpi_irq_penalty cannot be called from early stages since it is iterating the link list. If there is a penalty assignment requirement from early stages, this needs to be done on a statically allocated array. 4. acpi_irq_penalty_init is redundant. > > Here's a strawman idea: > > - Maintain a mapping of (IRQ, penalty).

Same for the > command-line options. I agree, we can move all of the ISA interrupt stuff out of this file if we want to. I really don't like the fact that we have a acpi_penalize_isa_irq function. The penalty information should have been contained in this file. acpi_penalize_isa_irq gets called from arbitrary contexts. I'm not sure adding a acpi_penalize_irq function is a good idea. All penalty users should have been in this file. > > - Change acpi_penalize_sci_irq() to use acpi_penalize_irq(). > Probably the mapping needs to pay attention to trigger/polarity > somehow, too. > > - Figure out how to make the ACPI core use acpi_penalize_irq() to > based on the _CRS and _PRS of every ACPI device, including > PNPACPI, PNP0C0F, etc. Then we can remove acpi_irq_penalty_init(). > I think this is a new feature. > - Change acpi_pci_link_set() to use acpi_penalize_irq() for the IRQ > it is enabling.

If we could do that, I think it > could substantially simplify this code. I think my V4 patch satisfies all of these requirements and also fixes the existing regression. (I have test vectors captured from the machines with issues.) 1. You can't use kmalloc in IRQ get penalty 2. SCI IRQ type cannot be gathered from IRQ API 3. acpi_irq_penalty cannot be called from early stages since it is iterating the link list. If there is a penalty assignment requirement from early stages, this needs to be done on a statically allocated array. 4. acpi_irq_penalty_init is redundant. and your goal to have some common code that can be used with any IRQ we want. If we want to move the ISA pieces out of this file, that can be done too. We can also add support for PNPACPI. I'm not a very big fan of scratch everything and start from beginning approach. This refactoring effort already failed 3 times.
