Several virtualization use-cases either don't support 32 MultiMSIs
(Xen/VMware) or have significant drawbacks to their use (KVM's vIOMMU,
which is required to support 32 MSI, needs to allocate an alternate
system memory space for each device using vIOMMU (e.g. 8GB VM mem and
2 cards => 8 + 2 * 8 = 24GB host memory required)). Support these
cases by enabling a 1 MSI fallback mode.
Whenever all 32 MSIs requested are not available, a second request for
a single MSI is made. Its success is the initiator of single MSI mode.
This mode causes all interrupts generated by the device to be directed
to the 0th MSI (firmware >=v1.10 will do this as a response to the PCIe
MSI capability configuration). Likewise, all interrupt handlers for the
device are registered to the 0th MSI.
Since the DBC interrupt handler checks if the DBC is in use or if
there is any pending changes, the 'spurious' interrupts are
disregarded. If there is work to be done, the standard threaded IRQ
handler is dispatched.
On every interrupt, the MHI handler wakes up its threaded interrupt
handler, and attempts to wake any waiters for MHI state events.
Performance is within +-0.6% for test cases that typify real world
use. Larger differences ([-4,+132]%, avg +47%) exist for very simple
tasks (e.g. addition) compiled for single NSPs. It is assumed that the
small work and many interrupts typically cause contention (e.g. 16 NSPs
vs 4 CPUs), as evidenced by the standard deviation between runs also
decreasing (r=-0.48 between delta(Performace_test) and
delta(StdDev_test/Avg_test))
