Hierarchical IRQ domains can be used to stack different IRQ
controllers on top of each other.

Bring hierarchical IRQ domains into the GPIOLIB core with the
following basic idea:

Drivers that need their interrupts handled hierarchically
specify a map of one element per interrupt where the hwirq
on the GPIO chip is mapped to the hwirq on the parent irqchip
along with type. Users have to pass the interrupt map, fwnode,
and parent irqdomain before calling gpiochip_irqchip_add().
The consumer will then call gpiochio_set_hierarchical_irqchip()
analogous to the earlier functions for chained and nested
irqchips.

The code path for device tree is pretty straight-forward,
while the code path for old boardfiles or anything else will
be more convoluted requireing upfront allocation of the
interrupts when adding the chip.

One specific use-case where this can be useful is if a power
management controller has top-level controls for wakeup
interrupts. In such cases, the power management controller can be a
parent to other interrupt controllers and program additional
registers when an IRQ has its wake capability enabled or disabled.

This is my idea for deeper integration of hierarchical irqs
into the gpiolib core. Admittedly based on my own IXP4xx
driver which is provided as an example conversion in
patch 2/2, let me know what you think. Based on heavy patching
on top of Thierry's patch, not mangled beyond recognition,
sorry for that, I just wanted to convey my idea here.

I wonder if this is really necessary. From the below it looks like you
bake in a bunch of assumptions just to make this sort of work, but do we
really need this for boardfile support? Or at least, perhaps let drivers
that require the legacy support carry that burden rather than have this
code in gpiolib?

Again, this is baking in twocell as the only option. I'm not sure that
makes this code really that useful.

This is also hard-coding the simple two-cell variant, which makes this
very inflexible and useful only to a subset (though, admittedly, a very
large subset) of drivers.

I think you technically need to translate each of nr_irqs interrupts to
make sure you deal properly with holes. irq_domain_translate() really
only operates on a single interrupt at a time, so it doesn't know that
the result will be used as the beginning of a linear range of
interrupts. I don't think that's generally safe to do.

On the other hand, in order to allocate multiple interrupts in a single
call, you'd then have to somehow modify fwspec for each iteration, and
gpiolib just doesn't have the knowledge how to do so in order to get at
the next valid set of parameters in fwspec.

So perhaps the best way for now would be to restrict this to cases where
a single IRQ is allocated? I haven't come across a case where we need
more than one, so maybe that's good enough for now? Seems better to me
to fail in such cases so that we can properly fix them, rather than
potentially allocate multiple interrupts, some of which may not be at
all what the user expected.

I kind of dislike the type of map that we need to build here. For the
Tegra case specifically, we already need to create a "valid IRQ map" in
order to make it comply strictly with twocell unless we keep the
possibility to override various callbacks in the drivers. In this case
we would need to generate yet another mapping.

I can see how this map would be advantageous if it is for a small number
of GPIOs and interrupts, or if the mapping is more or less arbitrary. In
case of Tegra it's trivial to do the mapping in code for both of the
above cases (we can actually use the exact same code for the two
mappings, but we could not easily use the same data for the different
purposes).

But perhaps there's some compromise still. What if, for example, we
added a new callback to struct gpio_irq_chip that would allow us to do
basically the reverse of irq_domain_ops.translate? We could make the
code accept either the fixed mapping for cases where that's sensible, or
allow it to fall back to using irq_domain_ops.translate() and
gpio_irq_chip.translate() to map using code at runtime.

I think that would also allow me to use this code without having to
override the gpiochip_to_irq() from gpiolib, because that's the only
other place (in addition to here) where I need to do that conversion.

Basically for Tegra I imagine something like this:

	if (chip->irq.translate)
		chip->irq.translate(&chip->irq, &parent_fwspec, hwirq + i, type);

Incidentally, parent_fwspec in the Tegra case would yield the same thing
as fwspec because that's how the bindings are defined. For other drivers
it might make sense for it to return something different.

Come to think of it, I think having that backwards-translate callback
would allow us to get rid of the issue with non-linear mappings, that I
mentioned above, as well. With one restriction, that is: the GPIO number
space has to be assumed to be linear. In that case the
irq_domain_ops.translate() would convert from whatever the external
representation is to the linear, no-holes, internal representation of
the GPIO chip (hence hwirq + i would do the right thing with regards to
multiple IRQs being allocated) and then gpio_irq_chip.translate() would
convert from that internally linear representation to the external one
again, taking care of any holes if necessary.

As a concrete example, on Tegra we could have the following situation:
GPIO A.00-A.06 and B.00-B.06 are numbered like this:

    GPIO   DT  pin
    --------------
    A.00    0    0
    A.01    1    1
    A.02    2    2
    A.03    3    3
    A.04    4    4
    A.05    5    5
    A.06    6    6

    B.00    8    7
    B.01    9    8
    B.02   10    9
    B.03   11   10
    B.04   12   11
    B.05   13   12
    B.06   14   13

The DT binding is basically a historical "accident" because the GPIO
controller used to have 8 pins per port, so we use macros to describe
the second cell in the DT specifier and they simply multiply the port
index by 8 to get the GPIO base offset for a given port. But I think
you're familiar with that already from our earlier discussions on this.

irq_domain_ops.translate() translates from the DT column above to the
pin column, which is the linear (no-holes) space that I was referring
to. gpio_irq_chip.translate() would go from the pin to the DT column.
That's got a nice symmetry to it.

So now for your RFC code this would not work if you get the following
fwspec and nr_irqs = 2:

    fwspec.param[0] = 6;

Because it will try to allocate conceptually for A.06 and A.07, when
there's actually no A.07. That works at least partially already because
the code assumes that the internal number space is linear and does not
have holes. But if you want to properly take care of holes by calling
irq_domain_translate() for each iteration of the loop, then it won't
work because it can't figure out what fwspec should be on subsequent
iterations. However, we could achieve that by modifying fwspec like this
at the end of the loop:

	if (chip->irq.translate)
		chip->irq.translate(&chip->irq, &fwspec, hwirq + 1, type);

and then call:

	ret = irq_domain_translate(d, fwspec, &hwirq, &type);

like you do, but instead within each iteration and it should always give
us the right hwirq and type for each iteration. That said, I think
that's the correct solution, though in practice it may be splitting
hairs and things may work the way you wrote them as well if use-cases
don't get too exotic.

This is that place where the gpio_irq_chip.translate() callback would be
useful. It would allow everyone to use the standard gpiochip_to_irq()
function and only use the callback to do the translation from external
to internal number representation.

	if (chip->irq.translate) {
		err = chip->irq.translate(domain, &spec, offset, IRQ_TYPE_NONE);
		if (err < 0)
			return err;
	} else {
		/* your default implementation */

Overall I think this should work for Tegra. Ideally, like I said, this
parent IRQ map would be optional and we would allow drivers to compute
the mapping at runtime where reasonable. Generating a lot of data
upfront would also work, but it seems rather redundant to have to
generate a large table with over 200 entries for what's essentially a
trivial mapping that can be expressed with just a handful of lines of
code.

How about ACPI-based systems? Do they even exist in this scheme? This is

It feels a bit odd that we're building a fwspec for something that
already has all the required information (the alloc function has the
gpio_irq_chip as host_data). I have the feeling that we could just have
a single __irq_domain_alloc_irqs() call with irq.parent_n_irq_maps as
the nr_irqs, and let the alloc function sort it out...

I think it is needed. Boardfiles have been predicted to disappear
"soon" since 2011 or so, it's just not happening. The "irqchip" type
of fwnode is there primarily for the ARM GIC which is used still
in a number of boardfile systems, but this fwnode type is also
necessary for migrating old boardfile systems over to device
trees stepwise, as is shown by the IXP4xx example, and from
a quick glance mach-iopX and mach-ks8695 also need
hierarchical top level IRQ controllers and GPIO chips to be
converted properly. And this is just for ARM. The situation for
MIPS and all these x86 laptops seem even worse. (OK
maybe I'm a bit overly pessimistic.)

If footprint is the issue then we should really think twice before
doing select IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY, because that is
something that really brings in a big chunk of code, the
few hundred lines that add irqchip fwnode support is nothing
compared to that. Then we should #ifdef this stuff for
hierarchical domains instead.

It's been really useful so far, I don't really see a problem with that.
It is what you need for Tegra too, right? The day someone makes
a convincing case that the need something else than twocell
we can alter the API simply. Onecell should be trivial to support.

Same comment. No big upfront design without users. I do not see
how it would be hard to add support for more or less cells if need be.

As long as we pass in the number of irqs to
irq_domain_create_hierarchy() (and we do) we will get a
linear irqdomain, so this is perfectly fine. Linear is ...
well linear :D

This is based on gicv2m_irq_domain_alloc() in
drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v2m.c and the same code appears in
gic_irq_domain_alloc() in drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c
so all the worlds contemporary ARM systems assume that
irq_domain_translate() works this way, for the same reason:
the domain is implicitly linear.

Yeah I will kill most noisy prints once I can test this on

Sorry about that, can we think of some nice way to unify them?
Would it not be trivial to add a helper (possibly even static inline)
to gpiolib that generates the irq.valid_mask from the

Possibly I should even make that the default behaviour when calling
[devm_]gpiochip_add[_data]? That makes a bit of sense and
pulls even more boilerplate into the core.

As noted on the other patch I am really sceptical to overriding
.to_irq(). Something is wrong if you do that, all .to_irq() is supposed
to do is let the irqdomain do its job of translating between the number
spaces, calls should be pretty much the same no matter what.

.to_irq() is just supposed to be a convenience function for getting
the irq for a GPIO line, it must still be possible to just pick an IRQ
directly from the irqchip, and that will go through the same
irqdomain so ... it should work the same, without any intervention.

I would rather see that we create something translationwise that
can be used universally. If using a list like this for every irq in need
of translation doesn't work

struct gpiochip_hierarchy_map {
        int hwirq;
        int parent_hwirq;
        unsigned int parent_type;
};

Then I want to know what data structure we need.

What would satisfy Tegra? I can think of trivial things like encoding a
"range" (int n_hwirqs) in each entry if that makes things more
convenient/faster when handling mapping of entire ranges.

The GPIO number space is linear per gpiochip, so for a GPIO
offset (hwirq or whatever it happens to be called) an expander or
SoC gpio_chip has IRQs 0..N possibly with invalid holes made in it
with .valid_mask, but the number space is still linear.

Yeah ... but what about just using gpiolibs internal representation
of the mapping instead if it is versatile enough? It's just going to
be used for this anyway, right?

Yeah... I vaguely remember.

I'm not entirely sure that it is a good idea for gpiolib or irqdomain
to try to provide generic mechanisms to correct historical incidents
in device tree bindings though.

The mission of the hierarchical irqdomain is to translate a hwirq
offset on irqchip A to a hwirq on irqchip B, so it can walk up the
ladder in the irq handler.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but now it starts to seem like the trickery I've
seen in Tegra's .to_irq() is due to the fact that the irqdomain is not
really linear.

It seems your basic problem is that you want to use nonlinear
irqdomains here, and that is indeed interesting, and I see how
that will complicate things for you. I was thinking to hopefully
do this in a two-stage rocket then: support linear hierarchical
irqdomains for gpio irqchips, then think about how to support
nonlinear irqdomains.

Nonlinear irqdomains should have the hallmark of passing
0 in the third argument (size) to irq_domain_create_hierarchy()
so that a tree is created. So this is what Tegra should be doing
if its numberspace is not linear, and indeed that is something
I don't handle in this patch set.

So Tegra support, if it needs to deal with nonlinear numberspaces,
should start with that: use a nonlinear irqdomain.

But when I look at the current upstream gpio-tegra186.c code I
get really confused. It doesn't seem to call irq_domain_create*
or irq_domain_add* at all, instead it seems to just assign function pointers to
a NULL irqdomain and rely on the core to call that.

Where is the gpiochip.irq.domain coming from in the Tegra186
case?

Can you explain how this really works, because it looks a bit
like abuse of the API but maybe I just don't get it.

I think we need to establish what type of irqdomain you really
want to be using here and what the current 186 driver is really
doing. I am a bit lost, sorry...

I assume we can just add another if() clause for them?

I have no ACPI system using gpiochip in my mental or practical
world, but I assume they are not very special wrt this since they
invented fwnode and drove it all the way into the core.

I don't know if I should add upfront code for them since I can't
test it (that I know).

Oh you're probably right, since the domain is implicitly linear
anyways. I suppose this is part of the answer to Thierry's question
actually: since I do this one irq at the time the domain will look
like such as well.

Yeah look at drivers/gpio/gpio-tegra186.c:

irq = &gpio->gpio.irq;
(...)
irq->domain_ops = &tegra186_gpio_irq_domain_ops;

what I just discovered is that this driver does not call
irq_domain_add* or irq_domain_create* not does it ask gpiolib
to do it so I have no idea how that thing is even working, so I
asked Thierry to explain it.

Right now my assumption is that is uses a NULL initalized irqdomain
and assign some random translation functions to it and hope
for the best or something, I might be missing something here.

Well, we use a modified twocell on Tegra. The problem is just that we
need to convert from a sparse number space in DT into a contiguous
number space as GPIO requires. Back when gpio-tegra186 was merged this
was done by compacting the number space in .of_xlate() and the IRQ
domain's .translate().

So I'm not arguing to get rid of twocell, I'm just saying that we could
make this completely flexible if we allowed the driver to specify one
additional callback. It's then easy to create a helper for the common
cases (such as regular twocell) but it also becomes a nobrainer to just
have drivers write their own conversion if they need to, without having
to make heavy changes to the gpiolib core everytime something different
is needed.

The problem isn't with more or less cells. Specifically on Tegra we have
two cells, but they represent a sparse (i.e. non-contiguous) number
space. That's really the only difference.

The point that I'm trying to argue is that rather than find a
complicated data structure that can represent all sorts of possible
mappings, it'd be much simpler to just write code that can map from
one to another.

Some things are just much easier to write in code than in data.

On Tegra for example, we use this code to compact the sparse DT number
space to the contiguous number space used by the GPIO chip:

	port = fwspec->param[0] / 8;
	pin = fwspec->param[0] % 8;

	for (i = 0; i < port; i++)
		offset += gpio->soc->ports[i].pins;

	*hwirq = pin + offset;

This is an extract from the current Tegra186 GPIO driver, slightly
edited for readability. Now, to do the same thing in a data structure we
would have to represent pins individually so that they can be mapped to
their corresponding interrupts. Or you could add ranges, in which case
we need to still describe 23 ranges. And that's just for one instance of
the controller (though the second one is only about a third in size).

What makes this even more wasteful is that once we have the GPIO number
space (i.e. the contiguous one) after the above 5 lines of code, the
mapping between GPIOs and interrupts is actually 1:1.

I've tested both ways, with just using plain gpiod_to_irq() or going via
the IRQ domain. Both times I tested with gpio-keys, so it all works as
expected.

However, the problem with gpiochip_to_irq() is that it basically needs
to emulate as if data was coming from a device tree. That's basically
what you do in the twocell code as well. The only difference on Tegra,
again, is that we now need to expand the number space to the sparse DT
number space by filling in the holes again. This is needed to make sure
that when the IRQ fwspec is passed to the IRQ domain's .translate()
callback, the values in the fwspec actually correspond to the ones
defined by the DT.

I looked a little at whether that's something that we could fix by just
allowing gpiochip_to_irq() to call some other helper that doesn't need
to emulate the fwspec. However, all code paths eventually end up calling
some API that takes the IRQ fwspec, so we need that anyway.

Like I said, the above would work for Tegra. My only gripe with it is
that it's totally wasteful because we basically need 140 entries of the
above (that's roughly 1.5-2 KiB) to do what is essentially a 1:1
mapping.

I hope I clarified this above. That last sentence is wrong though, on
second thought. Basically what I'm trying to say is that we're going in
circles with all these translations.

One one hand we need to translate the GPIO/IRQ specifier into the linear
domain of the GPIO/IRQ controller. Then in gpiochip_to_irq() we need to
go back and translate to the GPIO/IRQ specifier in order to please the
IRQ domain API. At the same time I don't think there's really a way
around that. Ultimately both the gpiochip_to_irq() and regular IRQ
mapping code paths end up calling irq_domain_ops.alloc(), which in turn
requires the struct irq_fwspec.

Not exactly. The problem, like I said above, is that when we call
irq_create_fwspec_mapping() we need to go to the external representation
again, because we effectively emulate what would happen if this was
called straight from the IRQ mapping code.

I would like to point out that twocell in your proposal does exactly the
same thing. The only difference is that the mapping is 1:1, so you don't
actually do any transformation on the number space.

Literally the *only* difference on Tegra is that we run a handful of
instructions and a loop on the number in each direction.

You're making my point for me. I'm arguing that in order for the core
not to have to deal with any of this, why not just give drivers that
need it a simple tool to deal with this.

There's absolutely no deal to come up with a flexible data structure to
describe these cases if we can just look whether the driver implements a
callback in which case we can just call that and hand the responsibility
to the driver. The generic core can then restrict itself to dealing with
the more normal situations.

I think I've made my point above, but I'll repeat this here until I've
made myself clear. The IRQ domain is linear. The IRQ domain is in fact a
1:1 mapping of the GPIO number space.

The difference is that the *DT specifier* is *not* linear and *not* a
1:1 mapping of the GPIO number space. That's the reason for doing the
back and forth conversion between the DT and GPIO number spaces.

Erm... this is using just the plain gpio_irq_chip helpers.
gpiochip_add_irqchip() ends up creating the IRQ domain.

To summarize: I think it's totally fine for Tegra to use linear domains.
In fact, part of the reason why we do the number space conversion in the
.of_xlate() and .translate() callbacks is so that we can use the linear
number space for the GPIO controller and the linear IRQ domain.

A new .translate() callback (in gpio_irq_chip) would serve the purpose
of allowing the translation in the other direction to be implemented.
With that implemented, there's no longer a need for Tegra to override
the gpiochip_to_irq(). Instead the translation would transparently
happen within the standard gpiochip_to_irq().

Since a patch speaks a thousand words, here's what I'm proposing as a
patch on top of the two others that I sent out the other day. Perhaps a
better name for the callback would be .get_fwspec().

Subject: [PATCH] WIP: gpio: Introduce gpio_irq_chip.translate()

Drivers can implemente this callback if the mapping of GPIO descriptor
to internal GPIO offset is not 1:1. For example, some device tree
bindings specify the bank (or port) of a GPIO as a separate field, and
this can lead to the number space in DT to be sparse, but the internal
GPIO offset being contiguous. Translating the DT number space to the
internal number space is already done in gpio_chip.of_xlate() and
gpio_irq_chip.domain_ops->translate(), respectively.

The new gpio_irq_chip.translate() callback does the opposite transform,
to get back the value in the DT number space from a given GPIO offset.

OK I get the point, but I wonder if it is really anything else than
linear ranges here.

That is a set of linear ranges.

It is not "totally wasteful" if the code can be reused with other
SoCs.

Yeah I think you might need a custom .translate() function.
Can I please implement it on the less complex ixp4xx first,
before we move to the extra complicated Tegra186 problem?

Yeah I get this... just hard to fit it in as it is evidently a bit
of corner case. And it's not so good to design a generic
feature in gpiolib (as I try to do) based on a corner case
with strange DT specifiers.

But let's add it when we need it, which may be step 2 then.

Actually this has become a real problem for me as maintainer
now. And I'm talking about this:

$ git grep add_simple drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:         gpiochip->irq.domain = irq_domain_add_simple(np,
drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c: gpiochip->irq.domain = irq_domain_add_simple(of_node,

There are two independent runpaths inside gpiolib for adding
irqdomains and it is a mess and if it confuses me then it
is going to confuse many others unless I'm entirely unfit
for this maintenance job.

We need to shrink gpiolib by initializing all gpio irqchips the
same way before we start adding more fancy features.

commit e0d89728981393b7d694bd3419b7794b9882c92d
"gpio: Implement tighter IRQ chip integration"
introduced these two runpaths, now we need to switch all
existing irqchips over and delete the old code so that
we don't mess things up even more and can't find our way
out.

Let's fix this first then move on to these new features.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
