Jan Hoffmann 1700424553 ltq-vdsl-mei: add locking to interrupt handler
Some users noticed repeated resyncs at random intervals, which go away
when the MEI driver is configured to use polling instead of interrupts.
Debugging shows that this seems to be caused by concurrent calls to
MEI_ReadMailbox (in the interrupt handler) and MEI_WriteMailbox. This
appears to be mostly triggered when there is an interrupt for vectoring
error reports.

In polling mode, calls to MEI_ReadMailbox are protected by the same
semaphore as is used in MEI_WriteMailbox. When interrupts are used,
MEI_WriteMailbox appears to rely on MEI_DisableDeviceInt and
MEI_EnableDeviceInt to provide mutual exclusion with the interrupt
handler. These functions mask/unmask interrupts, and there is an
additional check of the mask in the interrupt handler itself. However,
this is not sufficient on systems with SMP, as the interrupt handler
may be running in parallel, and could already be past the interrupt
mask check at this point.

This adds a lock to the interrupt handler, and also acquires this lock
in MEI_DisableDeviceInt. This should make sure that after a call to
MEI_DisableDeviceInt the interrupt is masked, and the interrupt handler
is either not running, has alread finished its work, or is still before
the interrupt mask check, and is thus going to detect the change.

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
