linux kernel软中断及其衍生品-定时器 tasklet的实现

标签：

学习最常用的硬件中断，我们最关心的是中断触发（硬件）-中断分发-中断处理这个流程如何完成，对于软中断我们也需要搞明白这几点。

首先来看下kernel中跟软中断相关的结构体变量，在kernel/softirq.c中，如下：

static struct softirq_action softirq_vec[NR_SOFTIRQS] __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

softirq_vec数组表示kernel下所有注册的软中断。

struct softirq_action
{
    void    (*action)(struct softirq_action *);
};
数组下标表示软中断号，softirq_action则代表软中断处理函数。

softirq_vec类似于kernel下表征硬件中断的irq_desc。

/* PLEASE, avoid to allocate new softirqs, if you need not _really_ high
   frequency threaded job scheduling. For almost all the purposes
   tasklets are more than enough. F.e. all serial device BHs et
   al. should be converted to tasklets, not to softirqs.
 */

enum
{
    HI_SOFTIRQ=0,
    TIMER_SOFTIRQ,
    NET_TX_SOFTIRQ,
    NET_RX_SOFTIRQ,
    BLOCK_SOFTIRQ,
    BLOCK_IOPOLL_SOFTIRQ,
    TASKLET_SOFTIRQ,
    SCHED_SOFTIRQ,
    HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ,
    RCU_SOFTIRQ,    /* Preferable RCU should always be the last softirq */

    NR_SOFTIRQS
};

softirq注册使用函数open_softirq，类似于硬件中断的register_irq。定义在kernel/softirq.c中

void open_softirq(int nr, void (*action)(struct softirq_action *))
{
    softirq_vec[nr].action = action;
}

void __init init_timers(void)
{
    int err = timer_cpu_notify(&timers_nb, (unsigned long)CPU_UP_PREPARE,
                (void *)(long)smp_processor_id());

    init_timer_stats();

    BUG_ON(err != NOTIFY_OK);
    register_cpu_notifier(&timers_nb);
    open_softirq(TIMER_SOFTIRQ, run_timer_softirq);
}

inline void raise_softirq_irqoff(unsigned int nr)
{
    __raise_softirq_irqoff(nr);

    /*
     * If we're in an interrupt or softirq, we're done
     * (this also catches softirq-disabled code). We will
     * actually run the softirq once we return from
     * the irq or softirq.
     *
     * Otherwise we wake up ksoftirqd to make sure we
     * schedule the softirq soon.
     */
    if (!in_interrupt())
        wakeup_softirqd();
}

void raise_softirq(unsigned int nr)
{
    unsigned long flags;

    local_irq_save(flags);
    raise_softirq_irqoff(nr);
    local_irq_restore(flags);
}

void __raise_softirq_irqoff(unsigned int nr)
{
    trace_softirq_raise(nr);
    or_softirq_pending(1UL << nr);
}

硬件中断是异步于处理器，异步于软件程序的。硬件中断触发-中断异常入口-中断分发处理，硬件中断分发处理时机取决于硬件中断的时机，软件不需要控制。
而软中断不能异步触发调用，软中断的分发处理函数是do_softirq,分发处理时机主要有3种：
    （1）在处理完一个硬件中断以后。
    （2）在ksoftirqd内核线程中。
    （3）在那些显式检查和执行待处理的软中断的代码中，如网络子系统中（显式调用do_softirq来收发数据包）。
我们主要来看前2种情况

（1） 硬件中断处理函数退出时
中断处理函数退出时会调用irq_exit，在kernel/softirq.c中如下：

static inline void invoke_softirq(void)
{
    if (!force_irqthreads) {
#ifdef __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED
        __do_softirq();
#else
        do_softirq();
#endif
    } else {
        __local_bh_disable((unsigned long)__builtin_return_address(0),
                SOFTIRQ_OFFSET);
        wakeup_softirqd();
        __local_bh_enable(SOFTIRQ_OFFSET);
    }
}
/*
 * Exit an interrupt context. Process softirqs if needed and possible:
 */
void irq_exit(void)
{
    account_system_vtime(current);
    trace_hardirq_exit();
    sub_preempt_count(IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET);
    if (!in_interrupt() && local_softirq_pending())
        invoke_softirq();

#ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ
    /* Make sure that timer wheel updates are propagated */
    if (idle_cpu(smp_processor_id()) && !in_interrupt() && !need_resched())
        tick_nohz_irq_exit();
#endif
    rcu_irq_exit();
    sched_preempt_enable_no_resched();
}

asmlinkage void do_softirq(void)
{
    __u32 pending;
    unsigned long flags;

    if (in_interrupt())
        return;

    local_irq_save(flags);

    pending = local_softirq_pending();

    if (pending)

    local_irq_restore(flags);
}

    int max_restart = MAX_SOFTIRQ_RESTART;
    int cpu;

    pending = local_softirq_pending();
    account_system_vtime(current);

    __local_bh_disable((unsigned long)__builtin_return_address(0),

    lockdep_softirq_enter();

    cpu = smp_processor_id();

    /* Reset the pending bitmask before enabling irqs */
    set_softirq_pending(0);

    local_irq_enable();

    h = softirq_vec;
    do {
        if (pending & 1) {
            unsigned int vec_nr = h - softirq_vec;
            int prev_count = preempt_count();

            kstat_incr_softirqs_this_cpu(vec_nr);

            trace_softirq_entry(vec_nr);
            h->action(h);
            trace_softirq_exit(vec_nr);
            if (unlikely(prev_count != preempt_count())) {
                printk(KERN_ERR "huh, entered softirq %u %s %p"
                       "with preempt_count %08x,"
                       " exited with %08x?\n", vec_nr,

                preempt_count() = prev_count;
            }

            rcu_bh_qs(cpu);
        }
        h++;
        pending >>= 1;
    } while (pending);

    local_irq_disable();

    pending = local_softirq_pending();
    if (pending && --max_restart)
        goto restart;

    if (pending)
        wakeup_softirqd();

    lockdep_softirq_exit();
