From 72bf1441231ab421a380771e37a5c595493db178 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Sakamoto Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2025 22:32:51 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] firewire: core: allocate workqueue for AR/AT request/response contexts Some tasklets (softIRQs) are still used as bottom-halves to handle events for 1394 OHCI AR/AT contexts. However, using softIRQs for IRQ bottom halves is generally discouraged today. This commit adds a per-fw_card workqueue to accommodate the behaviour specified by the 1394 OHCI specification. According to the 1394 OHCI specification, system memory pages are reserved for each asynchronous DMA context. This allows concurrent operation across contexts. In the 1394 OHCI PCI driver implementation, the hardware generates IRQs either upon receiving asynchronous packets from other nodes (incoming) or after completing transmission to them (outgoing). These independent events can occur in the same transmission cycle, therefore the max_active parameter for the workqueue is set to the total number of AR/AT contexts (=4). The WQ_UNBOUND flag is used to allow the work to be scheduled on any available core, since there is little CPU cache affinity benefit for the data. Each DMA context uses a circular descriptor list in system memory, allowing deferred data processing in software as long as buffer overrun are avoided. Since the overall operation is sleepable except for small atomic regions, WQ_BH is not used. As the descriptors contain timestamps, WQ_HIGHPRI is specified to support semi-real-time processing. The asynchronous context is also used by the SCSI over IEEE 1394 protocol implementation (sbp2), which can be part of memory reclaim paths. Therefore, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM is required. To allow uses to adjust CPU affinity according to workload, WQ_SYSFS is specified so that workqueue attributes are exposed to user space.
