[PATCH net-next 6/6] eth: fbnic: firmware notifies hwmon on sensor threshold events

From: Zinc Lim

Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 18:29:07 EST


The firmware sends an unsolicited message via the new
FBNIC_TLV_MSG_ID_SENSOR_THRESHOLD_EXCEEDED_RESP IPC message when a
temperature or voltage sensor crosses one of its thresholds. Parse this
message and translate it into the corresponding hwmon alarm
(temp1_{min,max,crit}_alarm or in0_{min,max}_alarm) via
hwmon_notify_event(), so userspace listeners are woken on the relevant
sysfs attribute.

fbnic_hwmon_notify_event() is driven from the FW mailbox IRQ path, so it
can run concurrently with hwmon registration and teardown. Guard the
publish/teardown of fbd->hwmon: register publishes it with WRITE_ONCE()
only after a successful registration (and leaves it NULL on failure),
unregister clears it with WRITE_ONCE(NULL) and then
synchronize_irq(fbd->fw_msix_vector) to drain any in-flight mailbox IRQ
before unregistering, and notify_event reads it once with READ_ONCE() and
skips the notification when it is NULL.
