This is just a WIP / TODO series based on the discussion [1].
I hope nVidia will finish it and fix the initial problem sooner than later.
Bart, Linus, First 4 patches may be directly applied to the tree (they are
at least compile-tested, but I believe they won't change any functionality.
Patch 5 is some stubs that should have been done in the driver.
Patch 6 is follow up removal of custom GPIO IRQ handling from
Mellanox GBE driver. Both of them are quite far from finishing,
but it's a start for nVidia to develop and test proper solution.
In any case, I will probably sent end this week the ACPI IRQ abuse
part from the GBE driver (I won't touch OF path).
ARs for nVidia:
0) review this series;
1) properly develop GPIO driver;
2) replace custom code with correct one;
3) send the work for review to GPIO and ACPI maintainers (basically list
of this series).
On my side I will help you if you have any questions regarding to GPIO
and ACPI.

ACPI_PTR() is more harmful than helpful. For example, in this case
if CONFIG_ACPI=n, the ID table left unused which is not what we want.
Instead of adding ifdeffery here and there, drop ACPI_PTR() and
replace acpi.h with mod_devicetable.h.

So how do you suggest registering this handler?
1) should I still use BF_RSH0_DEVICE_YU_INT shared interrupt signal?
2) or does Linux kernel know (based on parsing GpioInt) how trigger the handler based on the GPIO datain changing (active low/high)? In this case, the kernel will call this handler whenever the GPIO pin (9 or 12) value changes. I need to check whether GPIO is active low/high but lets assume for now it is open drain active low. We will use acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get to translate GpioInt to a Linux IRQ number:
irq = acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get_by(ACPI_COMPANION(dev), " phy-gpios ", 0);
ret = devm_request_irq(dev, irq, mlxbf2_gpio_irq_handler, IRQF_ONESHOT | IRQF_SHARED, dev_name(dev), gs);
And I will need to add GpioInt to the GPI0 ACPI table as follows:
// GPIO Controller
Device(GPI0) {
Name(_HID, "MLNXBF22")
Name(_UID, Zero)
Name(_CCA, 1)
Name(_CRS, ResourceTemplate() {
// for gpio[0] yu block
Memory32Fixed(ReadWrite, 0x0280c000, 0x00000100)
GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, Exclusive, PullDefault, , " \\_SB.GPI0") {9}
})

Package() {
Package () { "phy-gpios", Package() {^GPI0, 0, 0, 0 }},
Package () { "rst-pin", 32 }, // GPIO pin triggering soft reset on BlueSphere and PRIS

Now how can the mlxbf_gige_main.c driver also retrieve this nested_irq to register its interrupt handler as well? This irq.domain is only visible to the gpio-mlxbf2.c driver isn't it?

+static irqreturn_t mlxbf2_gpio_irq_handler(int irq, void *ptr) {
So how do you suggest registering this handler?
As usual. This handler should be probably registered via standard mechanisms.
Perhaps it's hierarchical IRQ, then use that facility of GPIO library.
(see gpio-dwapb.c for the example).
1) should I still use BF_RSH0_DEVICE_YU_INT shared interrupt signal?
I don't know your hardware connection between GPIO and GIC. You have to look
into TRM and see how they are connected and what should be programmed for the
mode you want to run this in.
2) or does Linux kernel know (based on parsing GpioInt) how trigger the
handler based on the GPIO datain changing (active low/high)? In this case,
the kernel will call this handler whenever the GPIO pin (9 or 12) value
changes.
After driver in place kernel will know how to map, register and handle the GPIO
interrupt. But the GIC part is out of the picture here. It may be you will need
additional stuff there, like disabling (or else) the interrupts, or providing a
bypass. I can't answer to this.
I need to check whether GPIO is active low/high but lets assume for
now it is open drain active low. We will use acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get to
translate GpioInt to a Linux IRQ number:
No, it's completely wrong. The resources are provided by GPIO controller and
consumed by devices. You showed me the table for the consumer, which is good
(of course if you wish to use Edge triggered interrupts there).
...
+ handle_nested_irq(nested_irq);
Now how can the mlxbf_gige_main.c driver also retrieve this nested_irq to
register its interrupt handler as well? This irq.domain is only visible to
the gpio-mlxbf2.c driver isn't it? phydev->irq (below) should be populated
with nested_irq at init time because it is used to register the phy interrupt
in this generic function:
nested here is an example, you have to check which one to use.
Moreover the code misses ->irq_set_type() callback.
So, yes, domain will be GPIOs but IRQ core will handle it properly.
You have several IRQ resources (Interrupt() and GpioInt() ones) in the consumer
device node. I don't know how your hardware is designed, but if you want to use
GPIO, then this phydev->irq should be a Linux vIRQ returned from above
mentioned acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get_by() call. Everything else is magically happens.
...
+ int offset = irqd_to_hwirq(irqd) % MLXBF2_GPIO_MAX_PINS_PER_BLOCK;
Why is the modulo needed? Isn't the hwirq returned a number between 0 and
MLXBF2_GPIO_MAX_PINS_PER_BLOCK-1 ?
It's copy'n'paste from somewhere, since you have device per bank you don't
need it.
...
We also need to make sure that the gpio driver is loaded before the
mlxbf-gige driver. Otherwise, the mlxbf-gige 1G interface fails to come up.
I have implemented this dependency on the gpio driver before, something like
this at the end of the mlxbf-gige driver:
MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: gpio_mlxbf2");
No, when you have GPIO device is listed in the tables the IRQ mapping will
return you deferred probe. It doesn't matter when device will appear, but it
will be functional only when all resource requirements are satisfied.
Above soft dependency doesn't guarantee this, deferred probe does.

Hi Asmaa
quoted
And I will need to add GpioInt to the GPI0 ACPI table as follows:
But you told me that it's already on the market, how are you suppose to change
existing tables?
BIOSes have as many bugs a the kernel. So your product should be
designed so you can upgrade the kernel and upgrade the BIOS.
phylib itself does not care if there is an interrupt or not. It will
fall back to polling. So if your driver finds itself running with old
tables, it does not matter. Just print a warning to the kernel logs
suggesting the user upgrades their BIOS firmware.
No, it's completely wrong. The resources are provided by GPIO controller and
consumed by devices.
In the device tree world, you list the interrupt in the PHY node.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-phy.yaml gives an
example:
ethernet {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
ethernet-phy@0 {
compatible = "ethernet-phy-id0141.0e90", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45";
interrupt-parent = <&PIC>;
interrupts = <35 1>;
reg = <0>;
resets = <&rst 8>;
reset-names = "phy";
reset-gpios = <&gpio1 4 1>;
reset-assert-us = <1000>;
reset-deassert-us = <2000>;
};
};
You need to do something similar in the ACPI world. There was a very
long discussion in this area recently, and some patches merged. You
probably need to build on that. See:
firmware-guide/acpi/dsd/phy.rst
Andrew
Thank you Andrew and Andy! I will prepare 2 patches (one for gpio-mlxbf2.c and one for mlxbf-gige) and send it your way.

Hi Asmaa

And I will need to add GpioInt to the GPI0 ACPI table as follows:
But you told me that it's already on the market, how are you suppose
to change existing tables?
BIOSes have as many bugs a the kernel. So your product should be designed so you can upgrade the kernel and upgrade the BIOS.
phylib itself does not care if there is an interrupt or not. It will fall back to polling. So if your driver finds itself running with old tables, it does not matter. Just print a warning to the kernel logs suggesting the user upgrades their BIOS firmware.
No, it's completely wrong. The resources are provided by GPIO
controller and consumed by devices.
In the device tree world, you list the interrupt in the PHY node.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-phy.yaml gives an
example:
ethernet {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
ethernet-phy@0 {
compatible = "ethernet-phy-id0141.0e90", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45";
interrupt-parent = <&PIC>;
interrupts = <35 1>;
reg = <0>;
resets = <&rst 8>;
reset-names = "phy";
reset-gpios = <&gpio1 4 1>;
reset-assert-us = <1000>;
reset-deassert-us = <2000>;
};
};
You need to do something similar in the ACPI world. There was a very long discussion in this area recently, and some patches merged. You probably need to build on that. See:
firmware-guide/acpi/dsd/phy.rst

Hi Andy, Hi Andrew,
I have a question regarding patch submission. I am going to mimic what Andy has done for v5/6 and v6/6 and send 2 patches in a bundle as follows:
/* for the cover letter */ : Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] gpio: mlxbf2: Introduce proper interrupt handling
Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] gpio: mlxbf2: Introduce IRQ support
Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] net: mellanox: mlxbf_gige: Replace non-standard interrupt handling
Questions:
1) do the subject lines look ok? i.e. sending patches that target "net" as opposed to "net-next"
2) would you like me to add a "Fixes" tag to each patch as follows? I am not sure if you consider this a bug?
Fixes: f92e1869d74e ("Add Mellanox BlueField Gigabit Ethernet driver")
Thank you.
Asmaa

+static irqreturn_t mlxbf2_gpio_irq_handler(int irq, void *ptr) {
So how do you suggest registering this handler?
As usual. This handler should be probably registered via standard mechanisms.
Perhaps it's hierarchical IRQ, then use that facility of GPIO library.
(see gpio-dwapb.c for the example).
1) should I still use BF_RSH0_DEVICE_YU_INT shared interrupt signal?
I don't know your hardware connection between GPIO and GIC. You have to look into TRM and see how they are connected and what should be programmed for the mode you want to run this in.
2) or does Linux kernel know (based on parsing GpioInt) how trigger
the handler based on the GPIO datain changing (active low/high)? In
this case, the kernel will call this handler whenever the GPIO pin (9
or 12) value changes.
After driver in place kernel will know how to map, register and handle the GPIO interrupt. But the GIC part is out of the picture here. It may be you will need additional stuff there, like disabling (or else) the interrupts, or providing a bypass. I can't answer to this.
I need to check whether GPIO is active low/high but lets assume for
now it is open drain active low. We will use acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get to
translate GpioInt to a Linux IRQ number:
No, it's completely wrong. The resources are provided by GPIO controller and consumed by devices. You showed me the table for the consumer, which is good (of course if you wish to use Edge triggered interrupts there).
...
+ handle_nested_irq(nested_irq);
Now how can the mlxbf_gige_main.c driver also retrieve this nested_irq
to register its interrupt handler as well? This irq.domain is only
visible to the gpio-mlxbf2.c driver isn't it? phydev->irq (below)
should be populated with nested_irq at init time because it is used to
register the phy interrupt in this generic function:
nested here is an example, you have to check which one to use.
Moreover the code misses ->irq_set_type() callback.
So, yes, domain will be GPIOs but IRQ core will handle it properly.
You have several IRQ resources (Interrupt() and GpioInt() ones) in the consumer device node. I don't know how your hardware is designed, but if you want to use GPIO, then this phydev->irq should be a Linux vIRQ returned from above mentioned acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get_by() call. Everything else is magically happens.
...
+ int offset = irqd_to_hwirq(irqd) % MLXBF2_GPIO_MAX_PINS_PER_BLOCK;
Why is the modulo needed? Isn't the hwirq returned a number between 0
and
MLXBF2_GPIO_MAX_PINS_PER_BLOCK-1 ?
It's copy'n'paste from somewhere, since you have device per bank you don't need it.
...
We also need to make sure that the gpio driver is loaded before the
mlxbf-gige driver. Otherwise, the mlxbf-gige 1G interface fails to come up.
I have implemented this dependency on the gpio driver before,
something like this at the end of the mlxbf-gige driver:
MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: gpio_mlxbf2");
No, when you have GPIO device is listed in the tables the IRQ mapping will return you deferred probe. It doesn't matter when device will appear, but it will be functional only when all resource requirements are satisfied.
Above soft dependency doesn't guarantee this, deferred probe does.

You are posting patches which go into two different subsystems. So you
need to pay special care here. Pick a maintainer you want to merge
this, and make sure you Cc: the other maintainer. Make it clear in
patch 0/X which maintainer you would like to take the patch series,
and that the other should give an Acked-by if they are happy with the
patches.
I don't think this should be considered a bug, so no need for a Fixes:
tag.
The subject lines look O.K.
Also, please fix your mailer to wrap lines at about 75 characters.
Andrew
