I think you're getting the two mixed up. irq_enable_shadow
(irq_unmasked_shadow) is updated from the ->irq_mask and ->irq_unmask
callbacaks, and will track !irqd_irq_masked(d) state. So, I think we
can get rid of irq_enable_shadow and just use !irqd_irq_masked(d).

The irq_enable bit array tracks the state on the SMC, and is used to
indicate whether we need to update that state when we unlock the bus
(which is when the driver talks to the SMC to reconfigure it.)

So, I think killing irq_enable_shadow and replacing irq_enable with
irq_unmasked would be correct - and going a bit further,
irq_smc_unmasked to show that it's the SMC's status.

Hmm, where does irq_bus_lock get called? Given this function is called
while running a blocking notifier chain, interrupts will not be
disabled on entry to this function. I haven't found a place in the maze
of irq handling code that generic_handle_domain_irq() would end up using
the bus lock/unlock functions - and if they did, with the above IRQ
saving, the kernel would WARN() about calling mutex_lock() with IRQs
disabled. So it doesn't.

This actually entirely negates any benefit of the kernel trying to mask
or unmask an interrupt in "hardware" while running the handler - since
macsmc_gpio_irq_bus_sync_unlock() won't be called, the state on the SMC
won't get touched.

It's been years since I did any real platform porting work, so deep
knowledge of the IRQ subsystem has evaporated.

I would imagine it depends on how the SMC GPIO interrupt works -
whether the ACK is ACK as we know it in Linux (x86 PIC) or whether
it's ACK as in a notification to the SMC that we have finished
handling the interrupt and it can send us the next interrupt.

I suspect we don't know that level of detail of the platform, so
given that this is what the Asahi kernel does, that's the best we
have.

If level IRQs are not supported, then it's strange that the Asahi
folk have been able to reverse engineer the CMD_IRQ_MODE codes for
these states.

Maybe the SMC issues another message for a level IRQ after it receives
a CMD_IRQ_ACK message if the level interrupt is still asserted?

Ineed.

I think you mean here "did the 'enable' state change between
macsmc_gpio_irq_bus_lock() and macsmc_gpio_irq_bus_unlock".

Yep, which is what I've said above in this reply where these bitmaps
are declared.

I don't think that's suitable, because then we'll be calling irq_ack()
before the handler has run - and we won't be notifying the SMC that
the interrupt has been masked. So it could send another notification
for the same IRQ while it's still being handled. Then there's the
question about level IRQs as well.

I think, given that I don't know how the SMC works (presumably the
Asahi folk have a bit more of an idea, but that will be based on
reverse engineering effort) that I am not going to modify this driver's
behaviour drastically by changing the flow handler to the edge flow
handler from the simple flow. To me, that could well be a disaster
for this driver. That would be something for the Asahi folk to look
at.
