Although it doesn't look like it is possible to hit these conditions from user space, there are 2 separate, but related, issues. First, the ocelot_vcap_block_get_filter_index function, née ocelot_ace_rule_get_index_id prior to the aae4e500 ("net: mscc: ocelot: generalize the "ACE/ACL" names") rename, does not do what the author probably intended. If the desired filter entry is not present in the ACL block, this function returns an index equal to the total number of filters, instead of -1, which is maybe what was intended, judging from the curious initialization with -1, and the "++index" idioms. Either way, none of the callers seems to expect this behavior. Second issue, the callers don't actually check the return value at all. So in case the filter is not found in the rule list, propagate the return code. So update the callers and also take the opportunity to get rid of the odd coding idioms that appear to work but don't.

There are some targets (register blocks) in the Ocelot switch that are instantiated more than once. For example, the VCAP IS1, IS2 and ES0 blocks all share the same register layout for interacting with the cache for the TCAM and the action RAM. For the VCAPs, the procedure for servicing them is actually common. We just need an API specifying which VCAP we are talking to, and we do that via these raw ocelot_target_read and ocelot_target_write accessors. In plain ocelot_read, the target is encoded into the register enum itself: u16 target = reg >> TARGET_OFFSET; For the VCAPs, the registers are currently defined like this: enum ocelot_reg { [...] S2_CORE_UPDATE_CTRL = S2 << TARGET_OFFSET, S2_CORE_MV_CFG, S2_CACHE_ENTRY_DAT, S2_CACHE_MASK_DAT, S2_CACHE_ACTION_DAT, S2_CACHE_CNT_DAT, S2_CACHE_TG_DAT, [...] }; which is precisely what we want to avoid, because we'd have to duplicate the same register map for S1 and for S0, and then figure out how to pass VCAP instance-specific registers to the ocelot_read calls (basically another lookup table that undoes the effect of shifting with TARGET_OFFSET). So for some targets, propose a more raw API, similar to what is currently done with ocelot_port_readl and ocelot_port_writel. Those targets can only be accessed with ocelot_target_{read,write} and not with ocelot_{read,write} after the conversion, which is fine. The VCAP registers are not actually modified to use this new API as of this patch. They will be modified in the next one.

Thomas Gleixner says: ==================== net: in_interrupt() cleanup and fixes in the discussion about preempt count consistency accross kernel configurations: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200914204209.256266093@linutronix.de/ Linus clearly requested that code in drivers and libraries which changes behaviour based on execution context should either be split up so that e.g. task context invocations and BH invocations have different interfaces or if that's not possible the context information has to be provided by the caller which knows in which context it is executing. This includes conditional locking, allocation mode (GFP_*) decisions and avoidance of code paths which might sleep. In the long run, usage of 'preemptible, in_*irq etc.' should be banned from driver code completely. This is the second version of the first batch of related changes. V1 can be found here: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200927194846.045411263@linutronix.de Changes vs. V1: - Rebased to net-next - Fixed the half done rename sillyness in the ENIC patch. - Fixed the IONIC driver fallout. - Picked up the SFC fix from Edward and adjusted the GFP_KERNEL change accordingly. - Addressed the review comments vs. BCRFMAC. - Collected Reviewed/Acked-by tags as appropriate. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

rtl_lps_enter() and rtl_lps_leave() are using in_interrupt() to detect whether it is safe to acquire a mutex or if it is required to defer to a workqueue. The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be seperated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. in_interrupt() also is only partially correct because it fails to chose the correct code path when just preemption or interrupts are disabled. Add an argument 'may_block' to both functions and adjust the callers to pass the context information. The following call chains were analyzed to be safe to block: rtl_watchdog_wq_callback() rlf_lps_leave/enter() rtl_op_suspend() rtl_lps_leave() rtl_op_bss_info_changed() rtl_lps_leave() rtl_op_sw_scan_start() rtl_lps_leave() The following call chains were analyzed to be unsafe to block: _rtl_pci_interrupt() _rtl_pci_rx_interrupt() rtl_lps_leave() _rtl_pci_interrupt() _rtl_pci_rx_interrupt() rtl_is_special_data() rtl_lps_leave() _rtl_pci_interrupt() _rtl_pci_rx_interrupt() rtl_is_special_data() setup_special_tx() rtl_lps_leave() _rtl_pci_interrupt() _rtl_pci_tx_isr rtl_lps_leave() halbtc_leave_lps() rtl_lps_leave() This leaves four callers of rtl_lps_enter/leave() where the analyzis stopped dead in the maze of several nested pointer based callchains and lack of rtlwifi hardware to debug this via tracing: halbtc_leave_lps(), halbtc_enter_lps(), halbtc_normal_lps(), halbtc_pre_normal_lps() These four have been cautionally marked to be unable to block which is the safe option, but the rtwifi wizards should be able to clarify that.

The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers in is phased out. rtl_dbg() a printk based debug aid is using in_interrupt() in the underlying C function _rtl_dbg_out() which is almost identical to _rtl_dbg_print(). The only difference is the printout of in_interrupt(). The decoding of in_interrupt() as hexvalue is non-trivial and aside of being phased out for driver usage the return value is just by chance the masked preempt count value and not a boolean. These home brewn printk debug aids are tedious to work with and provide only minimal context. They should be replaced by trace_printk() or a debug tracepoint which automatically records all context information. To make progress on the in_interrupt() cleanup, make rtl_dbg() use _rtl_dbg_print() and remove _rtl_dbg_out().

INIT_DELAYED_WORK() takes two arguments: A pointer to the delayed work and a function reference for the callback. The rtl code casts all function references to (void *) because the callbacks in use are not matching the required function signature. That's error prone and bad pratice. Some of the callback functions are also global, but only used in a single file. Clean the mess up by: - Adding the proper arguments to the callback functions and using them in the container_of() constructs correctly which removes the hideous container_of_dwork_rtl() macro as well. - Removing the type cast at the initializers - Making the unnecessary global functions static Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The debug macro prints (INT) when in_interrupt() returns true. The value of this information is dubious as it does not distinguish between the various contexts which are covered by in_interrupt(). As the usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and the same information can be more precisely obtained with tracing, remove the in_interrupt() conditional from this debug printk.

in_interrupt() is ill defined and does not provide what the name suggests. The usage especially in driver code is deprecated and a tree wide effort to clean up and consolidate the (ab)usage of in_interrupt() and related checks is happening. hfa384x_cmd() and prism2_hw_reset() check in_interrupt() at function entry and if true emit a printk at debug loglevel and return. This is clearly debug code. Both functions invoke functions which can sleep. These functions already have appropriate debug checks which cover all invalid contexts, while in_interrupt() fails to detect context which just has preemption or interrupts disabled. Remove both checks as they are incomplete, debug only and already covered by the subsequently invoked functions properly. If called from invalid context the resulting back trace is definitely more helpful to analyze the problem than a printk at debug loglevel.

The usage of in_interrupt) in driver code is phased out. The iwlwifi_dbg tracepoint records in_interrupt() seperately, but that's superfluous because the trace header already records all kind of state and context information like hardirq status, softirq status, preemption count etc. Aside of that the recording of in_interrupt() as boolean does not allow to distinguish between the possible contexts (hard interrupt, soft interrupt, bottom half disabled) while the trace header gives precise information.

The usage of in_interrupt() in non-core code is phased out. The debugging macros in these drivers use in_interrupt() to print 'I' or 'U' depending on the return value of in_interrupt(). While 'U' is confusing at best and 'I' is not really describing the actual context (hard interupt, soft interrupt, bottom half disabled section) these debug macros originate from the pre ftrace kernel era and their value today is questionable. They probably should be removed completely. The macros weere added initially for ipw2100 and then spreaded when the driver was forked. Remove the in_interrupt() usage at least..

All callchains leading to brcmf_fweh_process_event() can clearly identify the calling context. Convey a 'gfp' argument through the callchains and let the callers hand in the appropriate GFP mode. This has also the advantage that any change of execution context or preemption/interrupt state in these callchains will be detected by the memory allocator for all GFP_KERNEL allocations.

lmc_trace() was first introduced in commit e7a392d5 ("Import 2.3.99pre6-5") and was not touched ever since. The reason for looking at this was to get rid of the in_interrupt() usage, but while looking at it the following observations were made: - At least lmc_get_stats() (->ndo_get_stats()) is invoked with disabled preemption which is not detected by the in_interrupt() check, which would cause schedule() to be called from invalid context. - The code is hidden behind #ifdef LMC_TRACE which is not defined within the kernel and wasn't at the time it was introduced. - Three jiffies don't match 50ms. msleep() would be a better match which would also avoid the schedule() invocation. But why have it to begin with? - Nobody would do something like this today. Either netdev_dbg() or trace_printk() or a trace event would be used. If only the functions related to this driver are interesting then ftrace can be used with filtering. As it is obviously broken for years, simply remove it.

kaweth_async_set_rx_mode() invokes kaweth_contol() and has two callers: - kaweth_open() which is invoked from preemptible context . - kaweth_start_xmit() which holds a spinlock and has bottom halfs disabled. If called from kaweth_start_xmit() kaweth_async_set_rx_mode() obviously cannot block, which means it can't call kaweth_control(). This is detected with an in_interrupt() check. Replace the in_interrupt() check in kaweth_async_set_rx_mode() with an argument which is set true by the caller if the context is safe to sleep, otherwise false. Now kaweth_control() is only called from preemptible context which means there is no need for GFP_ATOMIC allocations anymore. Replace it with usb_control_msg(). Cleanup the code a bit while at it.

kaweth_control() is almost the same as usb_control_msg() except for the memory allocation mode (GFP_ATOMIC vs GFP_NOIO) and the in_interrupt() check.

lance_interrupt() contains two pointless checks: - A check whether the 'dev_id' argument is NULL.

bigmac_init_rings() has an argument signaling if it is called from the interrupt handler. This is used to decide between GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocations. But it also checks in_interrupt() to handle invocations which come from the timer callback bigmac_timer() via bigmac_hw_init(), which is invoked with 'in_irq = 0'. While the timer callback is clearly not in hard interrupt context it is still not sleepable context. Rename the argument to `non_blocking' and set it to true if invoked from the timer callback or the interrupt handler which allows to remove the in_interrupt() check and makes the code consistent.

efx_ef10_try_update_nic_stats_vf() used in_interrupt() to figure out whether it is safe to sleep (for MCDI) or not. The only caller from which it was not is efx_net_stats(), which can be invoked under dev_base_lock from net-sysfs::netstat_show(). So add a new update_stats_atomic() method to struct efx_nic_type, and call it from efx_net_stats(), removing the need for efx_ef10_try_update_nic_stats_vf() to behave differently for this case (which it wasn't doing correctly anyway). For all nic_types other than EF10 VF, this method is NULL so the the regular update_stats() methods are invoked , which are happy with being called from atomic contexts.

The in_interrupt() usage in this driver tries to figure out which context may sleep and which context may not sleep. in_interrupt() is not really suitable as it misses both preemption disabled and interrupt disabled invocations from task context. Conditionals like that in driver code are frowned upon in general because invocations of functions from invalid contexts might not be detected as the conditional papers over it. ionic_lif_addr() and _ionoc_lif_rx_mode() can be called from: 1) ->ndo_set_rx_mode() which is under netif_addr_lock_bh()) so it must not sleep. 2) Init and setup functions which are in fully preemptible task context. ionic_link_status_check_request() has two call paths: 1) NAPI which obviously cannot sleep 2) Setup which is again fully preemptible task context Add arguments which convey the execution context to the affected functions and let the callers provide the context instead of letting the functions deduce it.

The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be seperated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. mpc52xx_fec_stop() uses in_interrupt() to check if it is safe to sleep. All callers run in well defined contexts. Pass an argument from the callers indicating whether it is safe to sleep.

e100_hw_init() invokes e100_self_test() only if in_interrupt() returns false as e100_self_test() uses msleep() which requires sleepable task context. The in_interrupt() check is incomplete because in_interrupt() cannot catch callers from contexts which have just preemption or interrupts disabled. e100_hw_init() is invoked from: - e100_loopback_test() which clearly is sleepable task context as the function uses msleep() itself. - e100_up() which clearly is sleepable task context as well because it invokes e100_alloc_cbs() abd request_irq() which both require sleepable task context due to GFP_KERNEL allocations and mutex_lock() operations. Remove the pointless in_interrupt() check. As a side effect of this analysis it turned out that e100_rx_alloc_list() which is only invoked from e100_loopback_test() and e100_up() pointlessly uses a GFP_ATOMIC allocation. The next invoked function e100_alloc_cbs() is using GFP_KERNEL already. Change the allocation mode in e100_rx_alloc_list() to GFP_KERNEL as well.

t4_sge_stop() is only ever called from task context and the in_interrupt() check is presumably a leftover from copying t3_sge_stop(). Aside of in_interrupt() being deprecated because it's not providing what it claims to provide, this check would paper over illegitimate callers. The functions invoked from t4_sge_stop() contain already warnings to catch invocations from invalid contexts. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

t3_sge_stop() is called from task context and from error handlers in interrupt context. It relies on in_interrupt() to differentiate the contexts. in_interrupt() is deprecated as it is ill defined and does not provide what it suggests. Instead of replacing it with some other construct, simply split the function into t3_sge_stop_dma(), which can be called from any context, and t3_sge_stop() which can be only called from task context. This has the advantage that any bogus invocation of t3_sge_stop() from wrong contexts can be caught by debug kernels instead of being papered over by the conditional.

The usage of in_interrupt() in non-core code is phased out. Ideally the information of the calling context should be passed by the callers or the functions be split as appropriate. cfhsi_rx_desc() and cfhsi_rx_pld() use in_interrupt() to distinguish if they should use netif_rx() or netif_rx_ni() for receiving packets. The attempt to consolidate the code by passing an arguemnt or by distangling it failed due lack of knowledge about this driver and because the call chains are hard to follow. As a stop gap use netif_rx_any_context() which invokes the correct code path depending on context and confines the in_interrupt() usage to core code.

Quite some drivers make conditional decisions based on in_interrupt() to invoke either netif_rx() or netif_rx_ni(). Conditionals based on in_interrupt() or other variants of preempt count checks in drivers should not exist for various reasons and Linus clearly requested to either split the code pathes or pass an argument to the common functions which provides the context. This is obviously the correct solution, but for some of the affected drivers this needs a major rewrite due to their convoluted structure. As in_interrupt() usage in drivers needs to be phased out, provide netif_rx_any_context() as a stop gap for these drivers. This confines the in_interrupt() conditional to core code which in turn allows to remove the access to this check for driver code and provides one central place to do further modifications once the driver maze is cleaned up.

While chasing in_interrupt() (ab)use in drivers it turned out that the caif_spi driver has never been in use since the driver was merged 10 years ago. There never was any matching code which provides a platform device. The driver has not seen any update (asided of treewide changes and cleanups) since 8 years and the maintainers vanished from the planet. So analysing the potential contexts and the (in)correctness of in_interrupt() usage is just a pointless exercise. Remove the cruft.
