RFC PATCH v2 1/1 gen/irq: Change the way to differentiate between managed and unmanaged interrupts by bitmap

As Kashyap and Sumit reported, in MSI/-x subsystem, the pre/post vectors may be used to some extra reply queues for performance. the best way to map the pre/post vectors is map them to unmanaged interrupts.

But, current Linux can't do that, because the way which we use to differentiate between managed and unmanaged interrupts is affinity mask. If the affinity mask is present, the interrupt will be mark as managed. According to the pre- and post- vectors' affinity masks are set when kernel boots up, they are always managed interrupts as other MSI(-X) vectors. In other words, Linux can't both seting the affinity mask and the managed flag.

So, decouple the managed flag from the affinity mask, add a new bitmap to differentiate between managed and unmanaged interrupts.

Changelog:
- Add a bitmap for marking if an interrupt is managed or not. the size of bitmap is runtime allocation.

- Need more tests, Just test this patch in QEmu.

- v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/13/366

This is not working as it creates a variable length array (VLA). We just got rid of all VLAs in the kernel and the compiler will catch this and complain.

So rather than changing the world and everything by adding new arguments, what about the following:

-struct cpumask *irq_create_affinity_masks(int nvec, const struct irq_affinity *affd); +struct irq_affinity_desc * irq_create_affinity_masks(int nvec, struct irq_affinity *affd);

struct irq_affinity_desc {
	struct cpumask	mask;
	unsigned long	flags;
};

or something like that. Let irq_create_affinity_masks() allocate an array of those and store the information in the flags field. In the allocation functions just replace the cpumask pointer with a irq_affinity_desc pointer and hand that through to the irqdesc core, where you can evaluate the flags. Way less things to modify and the data structure allows to expand this in the future without touching all the functions ever again.

Can you please work against the tip irq/core branch as that has already other changes in the affinity spreading code queued?

Thanks,
