[PATCH v2 2/4] ACPI / EC: Add IRQ polling support for noirq stages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



1. Problems:
EC IRQs contain transaction IRQs (OBF/IBF) and event IRQ (SCI_EVT).

Transactions are initiated by hosts. The earliest OSPMs execution of EC
transactions is from acpi_ec_transaction(), where the common EC IRQ
handling procedure - advance_transaction() - is initiated from the task
context.
Events are initiated by targets. The earliest OSPMs execution of EC events
is from acpi_ec_gpe_handler(), where the common EC IRQ handling procedure -
advance_transaction() - is initiated from the IRQ context.

1.1. Problem 1: Cannot detect EC event in noirq stages.
There is a noirq stage during system suspend/resume procedures. We can see
that during this stage, advance_transaction() which monitors SCI_EVT can
only be invoked from ec_poll().  Thus if there is no EC transaction
occurring in this stage, EC driver cannot detect SCI_EVT.

Note that in noirq stage if there is an EC transaction pending,
advance_transaction() invoked because of the EC transaction can also help
to detect SCI_EVT and initiate the handling of the EC events. That's why
real reports related to this problem are rare and unreproducible as whether
there is an EC transaction occurred after an undetectable EC events during
noirq stages is random.

1.2. Problem 2: Handling of EC events may stuck for some GPE chips.
Normally, when STS is set, GPE IRQs can be triggered by GPE chips when EN
bit is set. Thus it is ensured that handling of the EC events triggered in
suspend noirq stage is just deferred to resume stage and there won't be EC
event losts.

But there might be chips do not contain AND logic betwee STS and EN to
trigger GPE. In such worst case, EC events may risk lost, handling of the
lost EC events can only start when there is an EC transaction occurred.
Thus if there is no EC transaction, handling of EC events may "stuck"
after resume in such worst case.

2. Old assumption and solution:
Originally, as EC driver actually has never been fully able to handle EC
events during noirq stages, we assumed that detecting such events in noirq
stage is useless and implemented "ec_freeze_events" to stop handling
SCI_EVT earlier after suspend and re-start handling SCI_EVT after resume.
The EC event handling is namely "frozen" during suspend/resume and
"ec_freeze_events" controls the timing of the "freeze". If this could work,
we shouldn't be required to implement GPE polling in noirq stage.

Note that this solution cannot solve problem 2.

3. New fact and solution:
Recently, some bug reports (see Link #1) revealed that we shouldn't
"freeze" EC event handling too early during these system suspend/resume
procedures. Based on this fact, we should detect SCI_EVT during noirq
stage, this left us no other choice than implementing IRQ polling for
SCI_EVT in this stage.

This patch adds a timer to poll EC events timely (0.5s) during system
suspend/resume noirq stages. As the bug reports may not be root caused,
and most of the platforms may not require this, this patch prepares an
option to make this behavior configurable.

Note that this solution can also solve problem 2.
