[PATCH 2/2] powerpc - Make the irq reverse mapping radix tree lockless

Sebastien Dugue sebastien.dugue at bull.net
Thu Sep 4 22:37:08 EST 2008


  The radix trees used by interrupt controllers for their irq reverse mapping
(currently only the XICS found on pSeries) have a complex locking scheme
dating back to before the advent of the lockless radix tree.

  Take advantage of this and of the fact that the items of the tree are
pointers to a static array (irq_map) elements which can never go under us
to simplify the locking.

  Concurrency between readers and writers is handled by the intrinsic
properties of the lockless radix tree. Concurrency between writers is handled
with a global mutex.
