55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56The
57.Fn BUS_SETUP_INTR
58method
59will create and attach an interrupt handler to an interrupt
60previously allocated by the resource manager's
61.Xr BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE 9
62method.
63The
64.Fa flags
65are found in
66.In sys/bus.h ,
67and give the broad category of interrupt.
68The
69.Fa flags
70also tell the interrupt handlers about certain
71device driver characteristics.
72.Dv INTR_EXCL
73marks the handler as being
74an exclusive handler for this interrupt.
75.Dv INTR_MPSAFE
76tells the scheduler that the interrupt handler
77is well behaved in a preemptive environment
78(``SMP safe''),
79and does not need
80to be protected by the ``Giant Lock'' mutex.
81.Dv INTR_ENTROPY
82marks the interrupt as being a good source of entropy -
83this may be used by the entropy device
84.Pa /dev/random .
85.Pp
86To define a time-critical handler that will not execute any potentially
87blocking operation, use the
88.Fa filter
89argument.
90See the
91.Sx "Filter Routines"
92section below for information on writing a filter.
93Otherwise, use the
94.Fa ithread
95argument.
96The defined handler
97will be called with the value
98.Fa arg
99as its only argument.
100See the
101.Sx "ithread Routines"
102section below for more information on writing an interrupt handler.
103.Pp
104The
105.Fa cookiep
106argument is a pointer to a
107.Vt "void *"
108that
109.Fn BUS_SETUP_INTR
110will write a cookie for the parent bus' use to if it is successful in
111establishing an interrupt.
112Driver writers may assume that this cookie will be non-zero.
113The nexus driver will write 0 on failure to
114.Fa cookiep .
115.Pp
116The interrupt handler will be detached by
117.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR .
118The cookie needs to be passed to
119.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR
120in order to tear down the correct interrupt handler.
121Once
122.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR
123returns, it is guaranteed that the interrupt function is not active and
124will no longer be called.
125.Pp
126Mutexes are not allowed to be held across calls to these functions.
127.Ss "Filter Routines"
128A filter runs in primary interrupt context.
129In this context, normal mutexes cannot be used.
130Only the spin lock version of these can be used (specified by passing
131.Dv MTX_SPIN
132to
133.Fn mtx_init
134when initializing the mutex).
135.Xr wakeup 9
136and similar routines can be called.
137Atomic operations from
138.Pa machine/atomic
139may be used.
140Reads and writes to hardware through
141.Xr bus_space 9
142may be used.
143PCI configuration registers may be read and written.
144All other kernel interfaces cannot be used.
145.Pp
146In this restricted environment, care must be taken to account for all
147races.
148A careful analysis of races should be done as well.
149It is generally cheaper to take an extra interrupt, for example, than
150to protect variables with spinlocks.
151Read, modify, write cycles of hardware registers need to be carefully
152analyzed if other threads are accessing the same registers.
153.Pp
154Generally, a filter routine will use one of two strategies.
155The first strategy is to simply mask the interrupt in hardware and
156allow the
157.Dv ithread
158routine to read the state from the hardware and then reenable
159interrupts.
160The
161.Dv ithread
162also acknowledges the interrupt before re-enabling the interrupt
163source in hardware.
164Most PCI hardware can mask its interrupt source.
165.Pp
166The second common approach is to use a filter with multiple
167.Xr taskqueue 9
168tasks.
169In this case, the filter acknowledges the interrupts and queues the
170work to the appropriate taskqueue.
171Where one has to multiplex different kinds of interrupt sources, like
172a network card's transmit and receive paths, this can reduce lock
173contention and increase performance.
174.Pp
175You should not
176.Xr malloc 9
177from inside a filter.
178You may not call anything that uses a normal mutex.
179Witness may complain about these.
180.Ss "ithread Routines"
181You can do whatever you want in an ithread routine, except sleep.
182Care must be taken not to sleep in an ithread.
183In addition, one should minimize lock contention in an ithread routine
184because contested locks ripple over to all other ithread routines on
185that interrupt.
186.Ss "Sleeping"
187Sleeping is voluntarily giving up control of your thread.
188All the sleep routine found in
189.Xr msleep 9
190sleep.
191Waiting for a condition variable described in
192.Xr condvar 9
193is sleeping.
194Calling any function that does any of these things is sleeping.
195.Sh RETURN VALUES
196Zero is returned on success,
197otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
