PATCH 1/1 iommu/arm-smmu: Only return IRQ_NONE if FSR is not set

Currently we return IRQ_NONE from the context fault handler if the FSR doesn't actually have the fault bit set (some sort of miswired interrupt?) or if the client doesn't register an IOMMU fault handler. However, registering a client fault handler is optional, so telling the interrupt framework that the interrupt wasn't for this device if the client doesn't register a handler isn't exactly accurate. Fix this by returning IRQ_HANDLED even if the client doesn't register a handler.

Hmm, but if we haven't actually done anything to rectify the cause of the fault, what means that we won't take it again immediately? I guess I'm not understanding the use-case that triggered you to write this patch...

Does returning IRQ_NONE actually prevent us from taking another interrupt (despite clearing the FSR below)? We definitely take more interrupts on our platform despite returning IRQ_NONE, but maybe we have something misconfigured...

I thought that returning IRQ_NONE would simply affect spurious interrupt accounting (only disabling the interrupt if we took enough of them in close enough succession to flag a misbehaving device).

As far as a valid use case, I can't think of one. I just thought we were messing up the spurious interrupt accounting.

No, IRQ_NONE doesn't prevent anything unless we trigger the spurious IRQ detector (1000 IRQs / second iirc). In that case, the handler ends up being invoked off the back of a timer tick last time I looked.

My concern is that the source of the interrupt isn't handled at all in the case above. Sure, we clear the FSR, but we haven't actually done anything to stop the fault occuring again. It would be like dealing with a page fault from userspace by simply returning back to the application without actually updating the page tables.
