    iio: adc: xilinx-xadc: Push interrupts into hardirq context · 70581e0e
    Xander Huff authored
    The driver currently registers a pair of irq handlers using
    request_threaded_irq(), however the synchronization mechanism between the
    hardirq and the threadedirq handler is a regular spinlock.
    
    Unfortunately, this breaks PREEMPT_RT builds, where a spinlock can sleep,
    and is thus not able to be acquired from a hardirq handler. This patch gets
    rid of the threaded handler and pushes all interrupt handling into the
    hardirq context, and uses request_irq().
    
    To validate that this change has no impact on RT performance, here are
    cyclictest values with no processes running:
    
    $ sudo cyclictest -S -m -p 98
    policy: fifo: loadavg: 0.00 0.01 0.05 1/174 2539
    T: 0 ( 1405) P:98 I:1000 C:167010520 Min: 9 Act: 12 Avg: 12 Max: 75
    T: 1 ( 1862) P:98 I:1500 C:111340339 Min: 9 Act: 12 Avg: 12 Max: 73
    
    Then, all xadc raw handles were accessed in a continuous loop via
    /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0:
    
    $ sudo cyclictest -S -m -p 98
    policy: fifo: loadavg: 7.84 7.70 7.63 3/182 4260
