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 (previously known as
89.Dv INTR_FAST )
90that will not execute any potentially blocking operation, use the
91.Fa filter
92argument.
93See the
94.Sx "Filter Routines"
95section below for information on writing a filter.
96Otherwise, use the
97.Fa ithread
98argument.
99The defined handler
100will be called with the value
101.Fa arg
102as its only argument.
103See the
104.Sx "ithread Routines"
105section below for more information on writing an interrupt handler.
106.Pp
107The
108.Fa cookiep
109argument is a pointer to a
110.Vt "void *"
111that
112.Fn BUS_SETUP_INTR
113will write a cookie for the parent bus' use to if it is successful in
114establishing an interrupt.
115Driver writers may assume that this cookie will be non-zero.
116The nexus driver will write 0 on failure to
117.Fa cookiep .
118.Pp
119The interrupt handler will be detached by
120.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR .
121The cookie needs to be passed to
122.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR
123in order to tear down the correct interrupt handler.
124Once
125.Fn BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR
126returns, it is guaranteed that the interrupt function is not active and
127will no longer be called.
128.Pp
129Mutexes are not allowed to be held across calls to these functions.
130.Ss "Filter Routines"
131A filter runs in a context very similar to what was known as an
132.Dv INTR_FAST
133routine in previous versions of
134.Fx .
135In this context, normal mutexes cannot be used.
136Only the spin lock version of these can be used (specified by passing
137.Dv MTX_SPIN
138to
139.Fn mtx_init
140when initializing the mutex).
141.Xr wakeup 9
142and similar routines can be called.
143Atomic operations from
144.Pa machine/atomic
145may be used.
146Reads and writes to hardware through
147.Xr bus_space 9
148may be used.
149PCI configuration registers may be read and written.
150All other kernel interfaces cannot be used.
151.Pp
152In this restricted environment, care must be taken to account for all
153races.
154A careful analysis of races should be done as well.
155It is generally cheaper to take an extra interrupt, for example, than
156to protect variables with spinlocks.
157Read, modify, write cycles of hardware registers need to be carefully
158analyzed if other threads are accessing the same registers.
159.Pp
160Generally, a filter routine will use one of two strategies.
161The first strategy is to simply mask the interrupt in hardware and
162allow the
163.Dv ithread
164routine to read the state from the hardware and then reenable
165interrupts.
166The
167.Dv ithread
168also acknowledges the interrupt before re-enabling the interrupt
169source in hardware.
170Most PCI hardware can mask its interrupt source.
171.Pp
172The second common approach is to use a filter with multiple
173.Xr taskqueue 9
174tasks.
175In this case, the filter acknowledges the interrupts and queues the
176work to the appropriate taskqueue.
177Where one has to multiplex different kinds of interrupt sources, like
178a network card's transmit and receive paths, this can reduce lock
179contention and increase performance.
180.Pp
181You should not
182.Xr malloc 9
183from inside a filter.
184You may not call anything that uses a normal mutex.
185Witness may complain about these.
186.Ss "ithread Routines"
187You can do whatever you want in an ithread routine, except sleep.
188Care must be taken not to sleep in an ithread.
189In addition, one should minimize lock contention in an ithread routine
190because contested locks ripple over to all other ithread routines on
191that interrupt.
192.Ss "Sleeping"
193Sleeping is voluntarily giving up control of your thread.
194All the sleep routine found in
195.Xr msleep 9
196sleep.
197Waiting for a condition variable described in
198.Xr condvar 9
199is sleeping.
200Calling any function that does any of these things is sleeping.
201.Sh RETURN VALUES
202Zero is returned on success,
203otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
