This patch adds IRQ support for the virtio GPIO driver. Note that this
uses the irq_bus_lock/unlock() callbacks, since those operations over
virtio may sleep. Also the notifications for the eventq are processed
using a work item to allow sleep-able operations.

I think the last two members should be marked as __cacheline_aligned,
since they are transferred separately over DMA.

Shouldn't this just requeue the interrupt? There is no reason to
defer this, and I think we want the normal operation to not have
to involve any scheduling.

Same here. unmask is probably less important, but it's the
same operation: if you want interrupts to become active
again when they are not, just queue the request
+static void virtio_gpio_irq_mask(struct irq_data *d)
+{
+       struct gpio_chip *gc = irq_data_get_irq_chip_data(d);
+       struct virtio_gpio *vgpio = gpiochip_get_data(gc);

+
+       irq_line->masked = true;
+       irq_line->update_pending = true;
+}
This is of course the tricky bit, I was hoping you had found a solution
based on what I wrote above for eio() and unmask().
+static void vgpio_work_handler(struct work_struct *work)
+{
+       struct virtio_gpio *vgpio = container_of(work, struct virtio_gpio,
+                                                work);
+       struct device *dev = &vgpio->vdev->dev;
+       struct vgpio_irq_line *irq_line;
+       int irq, gpio, ret;
+       unsigned int len;
+
+       mutex_lock(&vgpio->irq_lock);
+
+       while (true) {
+               irq_line = virtqueue_get_buf(vgpio->event_vq, &len);
+               if (!irq_line)
+                       break;
Related to above, I think all the eventq handling should be moved into the
virtio_gpio_event_vq() function directly.
+               /* The interrupt may have been disabled by now */
+               if (irq_line->update_pending && irq_line->masked)
+                       update_irq_type(vgpio, gpio, VIRTIO_GPIO_IRQ_TYPE_NONE);
This is a part I'm not sure about, and I suppose it's the same part that
Marc was also confused by.

As far as I can tell, the update_irq_type() message would lead to the
interrupt getting delivered when it was armed and is now getting disabled,
but I don't see why we would call update_irq_type() as a result of the
eventq notification.
