[PATCH] MIPS: DECstation I/O ASIC DMA interrupt classes

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

 



This change complements commits d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4 
[MIPS: DEC: Convert to new irq_chip functions] and 
5359b938c088423a28c41499f183cd10824c1816 [MIPS: DECstation I/O ASIC DMA 
interrupt handling fix] and implements automatic handling of the two 
classes of DMA interrupts the I/O ASIC implements, informational and 
errors.

Informational DMA interrupts do not stop the transfer and use the 
`handle_edge_irq' handler that clears the request right away so that 
another request may be recorded while the previous is being handled.

DMA error interrupts stop the transfer and require a corrective action 
before DMA can be reenabled.  Therefore they use the `handle_fasteoi_irq' 
handler that only clears the request on the way out.  Because MIPS 
processor interrupt inputs, one of which the I/O ASIC's interrupt 
controller is cascaded to, are level-triggered it is recommended that 
error DMA interrupt action handlers are registered with the IRQF_ONESHOT 
flag set so that they are run with the interrupt line masked.

This change removes the export of clear_ioasic_dma_irq that now does not 
have to be called by device drivers to clear interrupts explicitly 
anymore.  Originally these interrupts were cleared in the .end handler of 
the `irq_chip' structure, before it was removed.

 So here it is, please apply.  Additionally:

-- well, I had never expected I would ever say or write that, but 
fortunately it was a hardware problem after all.  It has turned out the 
uplink switch's PSU was on the way out; its operation has since 
deteriorated even further, enough for me to notice it being the cause.  
With the PSU replaced, the LANCE stopped misbehaving and the DECstation is 
fully operational NFS-rooted over Ethernet as well.
