Sorry for the typos. I meant "writing (not reading) to CSR_INT in
iwl_trans_pcie_sync_nmi
without explicitly getting trans_pcie->irq_lock like iwl_pcie_irq_handler does".
I spent some time playing around this, and while I don't have a black-and-white
test-case to show this patch has side-effects (at the very least), I
have some notes:
1. Repeatedly sending fw_nmi is a good test-case for the problem this patch
is trying to solve. i.e. I had
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/iwlwifi/${PCI_ID}/iwlmvm/
$ while true; do echo 1 > fw_nmi ; done # this is likely too harsh
and needs a sleep in b/w
With the current ToT driver in wireless-drivers-next, this ramoops-es
super quickly after hitting
the problematic MSI-X read.
2. With this patch applied, I hit an ADVANCED_SYSASSERT 0x0 and it took ~800ms
and dozens of kernel warnings before the driver "recovered".
I've sent the full dmesg to Luca off-list.
It didn't get any better with adding spin_lock(&trans_pcie->irq_lock)
/ spin_unlock(&trans_pcie->irq_lock)
around the problematic CSR_INT write in iwl_trans_sync_nmi.
So I still don't have any concrete reasoning or proof, except a dmesg
after a test that doesn't look right.
Apologies if this discussion is moot - FWIW, the thing that caused a
code smell in the first place
was that historically, nothing in trans.c had mucked with writing to
CSR_INT, except when enabling interrupts again
with a 0xFFFFFFFF at _initialization time_ (and we've seen race
conditions there in the past).
You can check this with `git grep -p -w CSR_INT trans.c`.
