Hi, dear kernel developer, Recently we encounter system hang (dead spinlock) when move to kernel linux-5.4.y. Finally, we use bisect to locate the suspicious commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-5.4.y&id=4667358dab9cc07da044d5bc087065545b1000df. Our system has some HW defect, which will wrongly set PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD high, and this commit will lead to infinite loop jumping to read_status (no chance to clear status PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD bit since ctrl is not updated), I know this is our HW defect, but this commit makes kernel trapped in this isr function and leads to kernel hang (then the user could not get useful information to show what's wrong), which I think is not expected behavior, so I would like to report to you for discussion. diff --git a/drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c b/drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c index 356786a3b7f4b..88b996764ff95 100644 --- a/https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c?h=linux-5.4.y&id=ca767cf0152d18fc299cde85b18d1f46ac21e1ba +++ b/https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c?h=linux-5.4.y&id=4667358dab9cc07da044d5bc087065545b1000df @@ -529,7 +529,7 @@ static irqreturn_t pciehp_isr(int irq, void *dev_id) struct controller *ctrl = (struct controller *)dev_id; struct pci_dev *pdev = ctrl_dev(ctrl); struct device *parent = pdev->dev.parent; - u16 status, events; + u16 status, events = 0; /* * Interrupts only occur in D3hot or shallower and only if enabled @@ -554,6 +554,7 @@ static irqreturn_t pciehp_isr(int irq, void *dev_id) } } +read_status: pcie_capability_read_word(pdev, PCI_EXP_SLTSTA, &status); if (status == (u16) ~0) { ctrl_info(ctrl, "%s: no response from device\n", __func__); @@ -566,24 +567,37 @@ static irqreturn_t pciehp_isr(int irq, void *dev_id) * Slot Status contains plain status bits as well as event * notification bits; right now we only want the event bits. */ - events = status & (PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_ABP | PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD | - PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PDC | PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_CC | - PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_DLLSC); + status &= PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_ABP | PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD | + PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PDC | PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_CC | + PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_DLLSC; /* * If we've already reported a power fault, don't report it again * until we've done something to handle it. */ if (ctrl->power_fault_detected) - events &= ~PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD; + status &= ~PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD; + events |= status; if (!events) { if (parent) pm_runtime_put(parent); return IRQ_NONE; } - pcie_capability_write_word(pdev, PCI_EXP_SLTSTA, events); + if (status) { + pcie_capability_write_word(pdev, PCI_EXP_SLTSTA, events); + + /* + * In MSI mode, all event bits must be zero before the port + * will send a new interrupt (PCIe Base Spec r5.0 sec 6.7.3.4). + * So re-read the Slot Status register in case a bit was set + * between read and write. + */ + if (pci_dev_msi_enabled(pdev) && !pciehp_poll_mode) + goto read_status; + } + ctrl_dbg(ctrl, "pending interrupts %#06x from Slot Status\n", events); if (parent) pm_runtime_put(parent); Regards Joseph
