[PATCH] irq: Request and release resources for chained IRQs

From: Linus Walleij
Date: Thu Nov 29 2018 - 08:31:29 EST


This addresses a bug in the irqchip core that was triggered
by new code assuming a strict semantic order of the irqchip
calls:

.irq_request_resources()
.irq_enable()
.irq_disable()
.irq_release_resources()

Mostly this is working fine when handled inside manage.c,
the calls are strictly happening in the above assumed order.

However on a Qualcomm platform I get the following in dmesg:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at ../drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:3513

[<c081c17c>] (pm8xxx_probe) from [<c07f439c>] (platform_drv_probe+0x48/0x98)

What happens is that when the pm8xxx driver tries to register
a chained IRQ irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() will eventually
set the type and call irq_startup() and thus the .irq_enable()
callback on the irqchip.

This irqchip is in drivers/pinctrl/qcom/pinctrl-msm.c and known
as TLMM.

However, the irqchip core helpers in GPIO assumes that
the .irq_request_resources() callback is always called before
.irq_enable(), and the latter is where module refcount and
also gpiochip_lock_as_irq() is normally called.

When .irq_enable() is called without .irq_request_resources()
having been called first, it seems like we are enabling
an IRQ on a GPIO line that has not first been locked to be
used as IRQ and we get the above warning. This happens since
as of
commit 461c1a7d4733d ("gpiolib: override irq_enable/disable")
this is strictly assumed for all GPIO-based IRQs.

As it seems reasonable to assume that .irq_request_resources()
is always strictly called before .irq_enable(), we add the
irq_[request|release]_resources() functions to the internal
API and call them also when adding a chained irqchip to
an IRQ.

I am a bit uncertain about the call site for
irq_released_resources() inside chip.c, but it appears this
path is for uninstalling a chained handler.
