ithread_remove_handler "void *cookie" +.Ft int +.Fn ithread_schedule "struct ithd *ithread" "int do_switch" +.Sh DESCRIPTION +Interrupt threads are kernel threads that run a list of handlers when +triggered by either a hardware or software interrupt. +Each interrupt handler has a name, handler function, handler argument, +priority, and various flags. +Each interrupt thread maintains a list of handlers sorted by priority. +This results in higher priority handlers being executed prior to lower +priority handlers. +Each thread assumes the priority of its highest priority handler for its +process priority, or +.Dv PRIO_MAX +if it has no handlers. +Interrupt threads are also associated with a single interrupt source, +represented as a vector number. +.Pp +The +.Fn ithread_create +function creates a new interrupt thread. +The +.Fa ithread +argument points to an +.Li struct ithd +pointer that will point to the newly created thread upon success. +The +.Fa vector +argument specifies the interrupt source to associate this thread with. +The +.Fa flags +argument is an or mask of properties of this thread. +The only valid flag currently for +.Fn ithread_create +is +.Dv IT_SOFT +to specify that this interrupt thread is a software interrupt. +The +.Fa enable +and +.Fa disable +arguments specify optional functions used to enable and disable this +interrupt thread's interrupt source. +The functions receive the vector corresponding to the thread's interrupt +source as their only argument. +The remaining arguments form a +.Xr printf 9 +agument list that is used to build the base name of the new ithread. +The full name of an interrupt thread is formed by concatenating the base +name of an interrupt thread with the names of all of its interrupt handlers. +.Pp +The +.Fn ithread_destroy +function destroys a previously created interrupt thread by releasing its +resources and arranging for the backing kernel thread to terminate. +An interrupt thread can only be destroyed if it has no handlers remaining. +.Pp +The +.Fn ithread_add_handler +function adds a new handler to an existing interrupt thread specified by +.Fa ithread . +The +.Fa name +argument specifies a name for this handler. +The +.Fa handler +and +.Fa arg +arguments provide the function to execute for this handler and an argument +to pass to it. +The +.Fa pri +argument specifies the priority of this handler and is used both in sorting +it in relation to the other handlers for this thread and to specify the +priority of the backing kernel thread. +The +.Fa flags +argument can be used to specify properties of this handler as defined in +.Aq Pa sys/bus.h . +If +.Fa cookiep +is not +.Dv NULL , +then it will be assigned a cookie that can be used later to remove this +handler. +.Pp +The +.Fn ithread_remove_handler +removes a handler from an interrupt thread. +The +.Fa cookie +argument specifies the handler to remove from its thread. +.Pp +The +.Fn ithread_schedule +function schedules an interrupt thread to run. +If the +.Fa do_switch +argument is non-zero and the interrupt thread is idle, then a context switch +will be forced after putting the interrupt thread on the run queue. +.Pp +The +.Fn ithread_priority +function translates the +.Dv INTR_TYPE_* +interrupt flags into interrupt handler priorities. +.Pp +The interrupt flags not related to the type of a particular interrupt +.Po +.Dv INTR_TYPE_* +.Pc +can be used to specify additional properties of both hardware and software +interrupt handlers. +The +.Dv INTR_EXCL +flag specifies that this handler can not share an interrupt thread with +another handler. +The +.Dv INTR_FAST +flag specifies that when this handler is executed, it should be run immediately +rather than being run asynchronously when its interrupt thread is scheduled to +run. +The +.Dv INTR_FAST +flag implies +.Dv INTR_EXCL . +The +.Dv INTR_MPSAFE +flag specifies that this handler is MP safe in that it does not need the +Giant mutex to be held while it is executed. +The +.Dv INTR_ENTROPY +flag specifies that the interrupt source this handler is tied to is a good +source of entropy, and thus that entropy should be gathered when an interrupt +from the handler's source triggers. +Presently, the +.Dv INTR_FAST +and +.Dv INTR_ENTROPY +flags are not valid for software interrupt handlers. +.Sh RETURN VALUES +The +.Fn ithread_add_handler , +.Fn ithread_create , +.Fn ithread_destroy , +.Fn ithread_remove_handler , +and +.Fn ithread_schedule +functions return zero on success and non-zero on failure. +The +.Fn ithread_priority +function returns a process priority corresponding to the passed in interrupt +flags. +.Sh EXAMPLES +The +.Fn swi_add +function demonstrates the use of +.Fn ithread_create +and +.Fn ithread_add_handler . +.Bd -literal -offset indent +int +swi_add(struct ithd **ithdp, const char *name, driver_intr_t handler, + void *arg, int pri, enum intr_type flags, void **cookiep) +{ + struct
