[PATCH 0/5] ARM: at91: fix irq_pm_install_action WARNING

[Boris Brezillon]

Commit cab303be91dc47942bc25de33dc1140123540800 [1] introduced a WARN_ON
test which triggers a WARNING backtrace on at91 platforms.
While this WARN_ON is absolutely necessary to warn users that they should
not mix request with and without IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flags on shared IRQs,
there is no easy way to solve this issue on at91 platforms.

The main reason is that the init timer is often using a shared irq line
and thus request this irq with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag set, while other
peripherals request the same irq line without this flag.

We could deal with that by identifying whether a given peripheral is
connected to the init timer shared irq line and add the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
in this case, but this implies adding the logic in all peripheral drivers
that could be connected to this shared irq.

This series takes the reverse approach: force IRQ users to specify that
they take care of disabling peripheral interrupts and that IRQ core can
safely leave the handler in a suspended state without having to bother
about spurious interrupts.
This is done by mean of a new IRQF_SUSPEND_NOACTION flag which tells the
core to move the action handler to a suspended list, thus preventing its
execution when we are in suspend mode.
Of course, specifying the IRQF_SUSPEND_NOACTION flag implies taking care
of masking/unmasking the peripheral interrupts in the suspend/resume
implementation.

The WARN_ON is kept, but now it is only triggered when (no_suspend_depth +
suspend_noaction_depth) and nr_actions are unbalanced.

The first patch introduces the IRQF_SUSPEND_NOACTION logic, while other
patches modify existing at91 drivers to specify this flag (and implement
suspend/resume if needed).


Best Regards,

Boris
