Hi,

looking at your patch I am afraid there is an issue.

In mtk_pcie_suspend_noirq() and mtk_pcie_resume_noirq() we are,
respectively, disabling and enabling generation of interrupts and
then saving and restoring the enabled interrupts register: since
we're using noirq PM callbacks, that can be safely done without
holding any spin lock.

Why? You can still race with another CPU in task context.
That is if you say that you do not need locking to touch
PCIE_INT_ENABLE_REG that is fine, but then why do you remove
it from one place only?
It is also touched in mtk_pcie_probe() at a minimum.


That was noticed because of, and solves, the following issue:

You do not need that interrupt.

lock B

<4>[   74.306438]  *** DEADLOCK ***


Sorry for the very late reply. I just noticed this.

I'm unsure, at this point, about how to solve this warning; ideas?

Thanks,
Angelo
