PATCH v2 1/1 iommu/arm-smmu: avoid calling request_irq in atomic context

request_irq shouldn't be called from atomic context since it might sleep, but we're calling it with a spinlock held, resulting in:

Fix this by moving the request_irq out of the critical section. This should be okay since smmu_domain->smmu is still being protected by the critical section. Also, we still don't program the Stream Match Register until after registering our interrupt handler so we shouldn't be missing any interrupts.

Hi Mitchel,

Thanks for the quick v2, but now I spotted a problem :)

This changes the driver behaviour, so we'll request an IRQ for the domain *every* time a master is successfuly added to the domain, as opposed to the first time a master is added (when we can do the lazy init).

Maybe we could rework the code so that it looks like:

  dom_smmu = ACCESS_ONCE(&smmu_domain->smmu);
  if (!dom_smmu) {
	/* Take spinlock and re-check the smmu */
	/* Initialise domain */
	/* Drop lock */
	/* Request IRQ */

}

  if (dom_smmu != smmu) {
	/* Fail attach */

}

/* Add master to domain */

Do you think that would work?

Woops, you're absolutely right. Good catch.

Maybe we could rework the code so that it looks like:

  dom_smmu = ACCESS_ONCE(&smmu_domain->smmu);

Why do we need an ACCESS_ONCE here? I thought the purpose of ACCESS_ONCE was to prevent the compiler from optimizing away the access (like a variable being pulled out of a for-loop because it's not modified within the loop (but could be modified on another thread)), but since we haven't accessed smmu_domain->smmu before this point and your proposed re-check below will be on the other side of a spinlock how could the compiler optimize it away?

Besides my one question due to my lack of compiler optimization brain power looks good to me.

The issue is that we have a reader and a writer for the smmu pointer operating concurrently. For that to work, we need single-copy atomicity and we also need to suppress some GCC optimisations (for example, the case where it can move an assignment clause from an else block before the if).

In this case, we're probably alright but I think we should keep this ACCESS_ONCE and also add one to arm_smmu_init_domain_context on the assignment side.
