In the long run chained IRQ would be the most flexible solution
for sure.

It might be worth checking why we have so much overhead with
the irqchip modelling compared to shared IRQ. If the overhead
is really all the extra IRQ handling then it seems the shared
interrupt plus an API to access IRQSTATUS/ENABLE is the way
to go. Up to you.

 I don't think it's a good idea to allow external drivers to
 tinker directly with GPMC registers. How about just set up GPMC
 as an irqchip for the edge detection interrupts?

 I think we already have devices with multiple NAND chips. And
 there's nothing stopping other drivers from using the edge
 detection interrupts.

One more observation I've had is that using irqchip modelling for
the 2 NAND events causes a performance impact.

Using mtd_oobtest I see the following on dra7-evm

1) v4.2-rc4 with prefetch-polled (no IRQs used)
mtd_speedtest: eraseblock write speed is 7142 KiB/s
mtd_speedtest: eraseblock read speed is 13721 KiB/s

2) v4.2-rc4 with prefetch-irq (IRQchip model)
eraseblock write speed is 5475 KiB/s
eraseblock read speed is 6420 KiB/s

3) this series (*) with prefetch-irq (no IRQchip model, nand driver
directly accesses irqstatus/irqenable)
eraseblock write speed is 6564 KiB/s
eraseblock read speed is 10850 KiB/s

(*) diff at the end is required on top to fix an issue with this series.

So should we continue IRQchip modelling for the NAND events
or use the GPMC interrupt as shared and add APIs to access
the NAND bits of the IRQSTATUS/ENABLE register.

 OK. The GPMC_IRQ registers manage 2 NAND specific interrupts
 (terminalcount and fifo) and 'n' WAIT pin edge interrupts.

  So we can model this as a irqchip with 'n + 2' interrupts.

 IRQ domain is a virtual abstraction introduced to prevent kernel irq 
 number overlapping
 in a single flat domain. I don't see what you can save by domain reuse.
 Some memory maybe at most.

 Shared interrupt is something totally different but we're trying to add 
 real
 hardware interrupts here. Didn't understand what you will share it with.

 For the wait pins irqchip is not sufficient and it needs to be gpiochip
 with irqchip. Waitpin status can be read from GPIO_STATUS register.

 Just getting the interrupt is not enough and we want to know if the
 line is high or low. That is how nand->dev_ready works.

 How about having 2 IRQ domains?
 One is irqchip with 2 interrupts (terminalcount and fifo) and second is
 gpiochip + irqchip for the n wait pins.

 The nand driver can then be modified to use GPIO to get Read/Busy
 pin status from the wait pin.

It is like adding an external interrupt controller to expand the number of 
available
hardware interrupts.
This interrupt controller will still use the same GPMC IRQ line to propagate the
irq event upwards.

For the wait pins irqchip is not sufficient and it needs to be gpiochip
with irqchip. Waitpin status can be read from GPIO_STATUS register.

Just getting the interrupt is not enough and we want to know if the
line is high or low. That is how nand->dev_ready works.

How about having 2 IRQ domains?
One is irqchip with 2 interrupts (terminalcount and fifo) and second is
gpiochip + irqchip for the n wait pins.

The nand driver can then be modified to use GPIO to get Read/Busy
pin status from the wait pin.

 Maybe we can just use the bits defined for each SoC in the

 The problem with this patch is that it expects GPMC_IRQ registers
 to be accessible by the NAND driver and looses the 2 to 4 pins
 of WAIT pin edge detection interrupt capability if it is needed
 for generic use. (not NAND/GPMC memory specific)

 Do you mean mapping irqs based on the GPMC_IRQSTATUS register
 bits? If so, that's pretty much how all the GPIO drivers
 handle them. We can have a SoC specific irqmask of the valid
 bits passed from the dts files, and if necessary we can also
 add custom SoC specific IRQ handlers to the GPMC driver if
 needed.

 The idea is that the NAND driver can just request the irq
 from the GPMC driver and do whatever it wants with the
 interrupt.

Yes if the wait pins are not used for NAND/GPMC memory then they can be used
as generic edge detect interrupt or probably even a GPI.
I don't see what would prevent it.

I'm not sure if anyone will dare to use them though as they weren't originally 
meant
for that use and none of the existing kernels support that. So it is really a
chicken and egg situation here. :)

But I see value in doing it the way Tony says cause it is much cleaner to 
specify
which interrupt (or wait pin) you want for NAND use.

cheers,

 Maybe we can just use the bits defined for each SoC in the
 GPMC_IRQSTATUS register for the mapping?

The problem with this patch is that it expects GPMC_IRQ registers
to be accessible by the NAND driver and looses the 2 to 4 pins
of WAIT pin edge detection interrupt capability if it is needed
for generic use. (not NAND/GPMC memory specific)

Maybe we can just use the bits defined for each SoC in the

OK. The GPMC_IRQ registers manage 2 NAND specific interrupts
(terminalcount and fifo) and 'n' WAIT pin edge interrupts.

So we can model this as a irqchip with 'n + 2' interrupts.

We need to take care that if a GPMC chip select needs a
wait pin then it can't be used as a generic interrupt.

We need to get rid of omap_dev_ready() in nand/omap2.c as
it accesses the GPMC_STATUS register directly. Plus it is
hard coded to only monitor wait0 pin.

What is the best map we should use for irqchip?
Some Socs have 4 WAIT pins, some have 3 and some have 2.

Should we start with 0,1,2, for the wait pins and use the next
available free one for the NAND?

I don't think it's a good idea to allow external drivers to
tinker directly with GPMC registers. How about just set up GPMC
as an irqchip for the edge detection interrupts?

I think we already have devices with multiple NAND chips. And
there's nothing stopping other drivers from using the edge
detection interrupts.

[PATCH 03/12] mtd: nand: omap: Move IRQ handling from GPMC to NAND driver

2015-07-10 Thread Roger Quadros
Since the Interrupt Events are used only by the NAND driver,
there is no point in managing the Interrupt registers
in the GPMC driver and complicating it with irqchip modeling.

Let's manage the interrupt registers directly in the NAND driver
and get rid of irqchip model from GPMC driver.

Get rid of IRQ commands and unused commands from gpmc_configure() in
the GPMC driver.
