57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58The
59.Fn BUS_SETUP_INTR
60method
61will create and attach an interrupt handler to an interrupt
62previously allocated by the resource manager's
63.Xr BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE 9
64method.
65The
66.Fa flags
67are found in
68.In sys/bus.h ,
69and give the broad category of interrupt.
70The
71.Fa flags
72also tell the interrupt handlers about certain
73device driver characteristics.
74.Dv INTR_EXCL
75marks the handler as being
76an exclusive handler for this interrupt.
77.Dv INTR_MPSAFE
78tells the scheduler that the interrupt handler
79is well behaved in a preemptive environment
80(``SMP safe''),
81and does not need
82to be protected by the ``Giant Lock'' mutex.
83.Dv INTR_ENTROPY
84marks the interrupt as being a good source of entropy -
85this may be used by the entropy device
86.Pa /dev/random .
87.Pp
88To define a time-critical handler that will not execute any potentially
89blocking operation, use the
90.Fa filter
91argument.
92See the
93.Sx "Filter Routines"
94section below for information on writing a filter.
95Otherwise, use the
96.Fa ithread
97argument.
98The defined handler
99will be called with the value
100.Fa arg
101as its only argument.
102See the
103.Sx "ithread Routines"
104section below for more information on writing an interrupt handler.
105.Pp
106The
107.Fa cookiep
108argument is a pointer to a
109.Vt "void *"
110that
111.Fn BUS_SETUP_INTR
112will write a cookie for the parent bus' use to if it is successful in
113establishing an interrupt.
114Driver writers may assume that this cookie will be non-zero.
115The nexus driver will write 0 on failure to
116.Fa cookiep .
117.Pp
118The interrupt handler will be detached by
119.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR .
120The cookie needs to be passed to
121.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR
122in order to tear down the correct interrupt handler.
123Once
124.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR
125returns, it is guaranteed that the interrupt function is not active and
126will no longer be called.
127.Pp
128Mutexes are not allowed to be held across calls to these functions.
129.Ss "Filter Routines"
130A filter runs in primary interrupt context.
131In this context, normal mutexes cannot be used.
132Only the spin lock version of these can be used (specified by passing
133.Dv MTX_SPIN
134to
135.Fn mtx_init
136when initializing the mutex).
137.Xr wakeup 9
138and similar routines can be called.
139Atomic operations from
140.Pa machine/atomic
141may be used.
142Reads and writes to hardware through
143.Xr bus_space 9
144may be used.
145PCI configuration registers may be read and written.
146All other kernel interfaces cannot be used.
147.Pp
148In this restricted environment, care must be taken to account for all
149races.
150A careful analysis of races should be done as well.
151It is generally cheaper to take an extra interrupt, for example, than
152to protect variables with spinlocks.
153Read, modify, write cycles of hardware registers need to be carefully
154analyzed if other threads are accessing the same registers.
155.Pp
156Generally, a filter routine will use one of two strategies.
157The first strategy is to simply mask the interrupt in hardware and
158allow the
159.Dv ithread
160routine to read the state from the hardware and then reenable
161interrupts.
162The
163.Dv ithread
164also acknowledges the interrupt before re-enabling the interrupt
165source in hardware.
166Most PCI hardware can mask its interrupt source.
167.Pp
168The second common approach is to use a filter with multiple
169.Xr taskqueue 9
170tasks.
171In this case, the filter acknowledges the interrupts and queues the
172work to the appropriate taskqueue.
173Where one has to multiplex different kinds of interrupt sources, like
174a network card's transmit and receive paths, this can reduce lock
175contention and increase performance.
176.Pp
177You should not
178.Xr malloc 9
179from inside a filter.
180You may not call anything that uses a normal mutex.
181Witness may complain about these.
182.Ss "ithread Routines"
183You can do whatever you want in an ithread routine, except sleep.
184Care must be taken not to sleep in an ithread.
185In addition, one should minimize lock contention in an ithread routine
186because contested locks ripple over to all other ithread routines on
187that interrupt.
188.Ss "Sleeping"
189Sleeping is voluntarily giving up control of your thread.
190All the sleep routine found in
191.Xr msleep 9
192sleep.
193Waiting for a condition variable described in
194.Xr condvar 9
195is sleeping.
196Calling any function that does any of these things is sleeping.
197.Sh RETURN VALUES
198Zero is returned on success,
199otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
