[RFC PATCH] PCI: Introduce INTx check & mask API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[Found while debugging VFIO on POWER but it is platform independent]

There is a feature in PCI (>=2.3?) to mask/unmask INTx via PCI_COMMAND and
PCI_STATUS registers.

And there is some API to support that (commit a2e27787f893621c5a6b865acf6b7766f8671328).

I have a network adapter:
0001:00:01.0 Ethernet controller: Chelsio Communications Inc T310 10GbE Single Port Adapter
	Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr+ Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx-
	Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-

pci_intx_mask_supported() reports that the feature is supported for this adapter
BUT the adapter does not set PCI_STATUS_INTERRUPT so pci_check_and_set_intx_mask()
never changes PCI_COMMAND and INTx does not work on it when we use it as VFIO-PCI device.

If I remove the check of this bit, it works fine as it is called from an interrupt handler and
Status bit check is redundant.

Opened a spec:
PCI LOCAL BUS SPECIFICATION, REV. 3.0, Table 6-2: Status Register Bits
===
3	This read-only bit reflects the state of the interrupt in the
device/function. Only when the Interrupt Disable bit in the command
register is a 0 and this Interrupt Status bit is a 1, will the
device’s/function’s INTx# signal be asserted. Setting the Interrupt
   Disable bit to a 1 has no effect on the state of this bit.
===
With this adapter, INTx# is asserted but Status bit is still 0.

Is it mandatory for a device to set Status bit if it supports INTx masking?

2 Alex: if it is mandatory, then we need to be able to disable pci_2_3 in VFIO-PCI
somehow.
