[PATCH] pci: Only disable MSI/X and enable INTx if shutdown function has been called

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

 



Bjorn,

We have seen this at Red Hat on various drivers: nouveau, ahci, mei_me, and
pcieport (so far).  Google search for "unhandled irq 16" yields many results
reporting similar behavior during shutdown indicating that this problem is
widespread.  I can cause this to happen on a "stable" system by adding a 3
second delay in pci_device_shutdown() which causes the number of spurious
interrupts to exceed the 100000 limit and display the warning below for the
primarily the nouveau driver, and occasionally for the other mentioned drivers.

A patch for this was proposed and rejected here for being too risky:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5990701/

I also originally posted a patch to resolve this here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=147705209308588&w=2

and several other patch suggestions were made.  The problem with all of these
solutions is that there is some risk associated with them (kdump, kvm, etc.)
and they are papering over the real issue that the PCI shutdown should not
blindly switch to INTx for all devices.

I am reproposing the original suggested patch.  There is some risk associated
with this but I don't think it is any more or any less than the other patches,
and it seems like the other patches are only applying band-aids to the problem.

[Aside: Lukas Wunner asked why does this always happen on IRQ 16 (even when the
legacy device says IRQ 32 in lspci)?

The PCI irq pins A, B, C, and D are routed according to the ACPI _PRT table for
the device.  _In general_, I have noted a consistent pattern for PCI irq pins
such that

	irq pin A is IRQ 0x10 (16)
	irq pin B is IRQ 0x11 (17)
	irq pin C is IRQ 0x12 (18)
	irq pin D is IRQ 0x13 (19)

Since the device's IRQ is hooked up to pin A we're seeing the unhandled
interrupt on IRQ 16.]

I have tested this on various systems with KVM and kdump (and kdump on
KVM) and didn't see any issues.

NOTE: In my testing this resolves the problem with PCI based serial ports
cutting off their output during shutdown.  Again, this can be tracked to the
PCI shutdown path switching between MSI & INTx independently of the driver.

The following unhandled IRQ warning is seen during shutdown:

pci_device_shutdown() is called on each PCI device, and does

        if (drv && drv->shutdown)
                drv->shutdown(pci_dev);
        pci_msi_shutdown(pci_dev);
        pci_msix_shutdown(pci_dev);

The pci_msi_shutdown() and pci_msix_shutdown() functions both call
pci_intx_for_msi() which enables the INTx interrupt asynchronously of the
driver.

The problem is that the driver may not have a shutdown function and the
device remains active.  The driver continues to operate the PCI device and the
device interrupts to generate INTx.  The driver, however, has not registered a
handler for INTx and the interrupt line remains set which leads to an unhandled
IRQ warning.
