>From the docs:
"IIR can queue up to two interrupt events. When the IIR is cleared,
it will set itself again after one clock if a second event was
stored."
"Only the rising edge of the PCH Display interrupt will cause the
North Display IIR (DEIIR) PCH Display Interrupt even bit to be set,
so all PCH Display Interrupts, including back to back interrupts,
must be cleared before a new PCH Display interrupt can cause DEIIR
to be set".
The current code works fine because we don't get many interrupts, but
if we enable the PCH FIFO underrun interrupts we'll start getting so
many interrupts that at some point new PCH interrupts won't cause
DEIIR to be set.
The initial implementation I tried was to turn the code that checks
SDEIIR into a loop, but we can still get interrupts even after the
loop is done (and before the irq handler finishes), so we have to
either disable the interrupts or mask them. In the end I concluded
that just disabling the PCH interrupts is enough, you don't even need
the loop, so this is what this patch implements. I've tested it and it
passes the 2 "PCH FIFO underrun interrupt storms" I can reproduce:
the "ironlake_crtc_disable" case and the "wrong watermarks" case.
In other words, here's how to reproduce the problem fixed by this
patch:
1 - Enable PCH FIFO underrun interrupts (SERR_INT on SNB+)
2 - Boot the machine
3 - While booting we'll get tons of PCH FIFO underrun interrupts
4 - Plug a new monitor
5 - Run xrandr, notice it won't detect the new monitor
6 - Read SDEIIR and notice it's not 0 while DEIIR is 0
Q: Can't we just clear DEIIR before SDEIIR?
A: It doesn't work. SDEIIR has to be completely cleared (including the
interrupts stored on its back queue) before it can flip DEIIR's bit to
1 again, and even while you're clearing it you'll be getting more and
more interrupts.
Q: Why does it work by just disabling+enabling the south interrupts?
A: Because when we re-enable them, if there's something on the SDEIIR
register (maybe an interrupt stored on the queue), the re-enabling
will make DEIIR's bit flip to 1, and since we'll already have
interrupts enabled we'll get another interrupt, then run our irq
handler again to process the "back" interrupts.
v2: Even bigger commit message, added code comments.
