ACPI / EC: Add query flushing support
This patch implementes the QR_EC flushing support.
Grace periods are implemented from the detection of an SCI_EVT to the
submission/completion of the QR_EC transaction. During this period, all
EC command transactions are allowed to be submitted.
Note that query periods and event periods are intentionally distiguished to
allow further improvements.
1. Query period: from the detection of an SCI_EVT to the sumission of the
QR_EC command. This period is used for storming prevention, as currently
QR_EC is deferred to a work queue rather than directly issued from the
IRQ context even there is no other transactions pending, so malicous
SCI_EVT GPE can act like "level triggered" to trigger a GPE storm. We
need to be prepared for this. And in the future, we may change it to be
a part of the advance_transaction() where we will try QR_EC submission
in appropriate positions to avoid such GPE storming.
2. Event period: from the detection of an SCI_EVT to the completion of the
QR_EC command. We may extend it to the completion of _Qxx evaluation.
This is actually a grace period for event flushing, but we only flush
queries due to the reason stated in known issue 1. That's also why we
use EC_FLAGS_EVENT_xxx. During this period, QR_EC transactions need to
pass the flushable submission check.
In this patch, the following flags are implemented:
1. EC_FLAGS_EVENT_ENABLED: this is derived from the old
EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag which can block SCI_EVT handlings.
With this flag, the logics implemented by the original flag are
extended:
1. Old logic: unless both of the flags are set, the event poller will
not be scheduled, and
2. New logic: as soon as both of the flags are set, the evet poller will
be scheduled.
2. EC_FLAGS_EVENT_DETECTED: this is also derived from the old
EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag which can block SCI_EVT detection. It thus
can be used to indicate the storming prevention period for query
submission.
acpi_ec_submit_request()/acpi_ec_complete_request() are invoked to
implement this period so that acpi_set_gpe() can be invoked under the
"reference count > 0" condition.
3. EC_FLAGS_EVENT_PENDING: this is newly added to indicate the grace period
for event flushing (query flushing for now).
acpi_ec_submit_request()/acpi_ec_complete_request() are invoked to
implement this period so that the flushing process can wait until the
event handling (query transaction for now) to be completed.
