Hi Chen,

Thanks a lot for persevering and working this all out!

Rafael, I assume you'll take this if you think it's ready.

This is a subtle problem and, if I understand correctly, can manifest
intermittently depending on the machine configuration.  For example,
if you got rid of the "megasa" driver, I suspect i801_smbus would not
complain, but it wouldn't work.

I think we might want to consider doing something for non-x86 arches
as well, but we can do that later.  I propose a changelog like the
following.  Please correct anything I got wrong.  I suspect we will be
revisiting this issue eventually, so I'd like to have a good
description.


x86/PCI: Recognize that Interrupt Line 255 means "not connected"

Per the x86-specific footnote to PCI spec r3.0, sec 6.2.4, the value 255 in
the Interrupt Line register means "unknown" or "no connection."
Previously, when we couldn't derive an IRQ from the _PRT, we fell back to
using the value from Interrupt Line as an IRQ.  It's questionable whether
we should do that at all, but the spec clearly suggests we shouldn't do it
for the value 255 on x86.

Calling request_irq() with IRQ 255 may succeed, but the driver won't
receive any interrupts.  Or, if IRQ 255 is shared with another device, it
may succeed, and the driver's ISR will be called at random times when the
*other* device interrupts.  Or it may fail if another device is using IRQ
255 with incompatible flags.  What we *want* is for request_irq() to fail
predictably so the driver can fall back to polling.

On x86, assume 255 in the Interrupt Line means the INTx line is not
connected.  In that case, set dev->irq to IRQ_NOTCONNECTED so request_irq()
will fail gracefully with -ENOTCONN.

We found this problem on a system where Secure Boot firmware assigned
Interrupt Line 255 to an i801_smbus device and another device was already
using MSI-X IRQ 255.  This was in v3.10, where i801_probe() fails if
request_irq() fails:

  i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: enabling device (0140 -> 0143)
  i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: can't derive routing for PCI INT C
  i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: PCI INT C: no GSI
  genirq: Flags mismatch irq 255. 00000080 (i801_smbus) vs. 00000000 (megasa)

  Hardware name: FUJITSU PRIMEQUEST 2800E2/D3736, BIOS PRIMEQUEST 2000 Serie5
  Call Trace:
    dump_stack+0x19/0x1b

  i801_smbus: probe of 0000:00:1f.3 failed with error -16

After aeb8a3d16ae0 ("i2c: i801: Check if interrupts are disabled"),
i801_probe() will fall back to polling if request_irq() fails.  But we
still need this patch because request_irq() may succeed or fail depending
on other devices in the system.  If request_irq() fails, i801_smbus will
work by falling back to polling, but if it succeeds, i801_smbus won't work
because it expects interrupts that it may not receive.
