6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Matthias Schiffer <matthias.schiffer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 743375f8deee360b0e902074bab99b0c9368d42f ]
The interrupt line of PCI devices is interpreted as edge-triggered,
however the interrupt signal of the m_can controller integrated in Intel
Elkhart Lake CPUs appears to be generated level-triggered.
Consider the following sequence of events:
- IR register is read, interrupt X is set
- A new interrupt Y is triggered in the m_can controller
- IR register is written to acknowledge interrupt X. Y remains set in IR
As at no point in this sequence no interrupt flag is set in IR, the
m_can interrupt line will never become deasserted, and no edge will ever
be observed to trigger another run of the ISR. This was observed to
result in the TX queue of the EHL m_can to get stuck under high load,
because frames were queued to the hardware in m_can_start_xmit(), but
m_can_finish_tx() was never run to account for their successful
transmission.
On an Elkhart Lake based board with the two CAN interfaces connected to
each other, the following script can reproduce the issue:
ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 1000000
ip link set can1 up type can bitrate 1000000
cangen can0 -g 2 -I 000 -L 8 &
cangen can0 -g 2 -I 001 -L 8 &
cangen can0 -g 2 -I 002 -L 8 &
cangen can0 -g 2 -I 003 -L 8 &
cangen can0 -g 2 -I 004 -L 8 &
cangen can0 -g 2 -I 005 -L 8 &
cangen can0 -g 2 -I 006 -L 8 &
cangen can0 -g 2 -I 007 -L 8 &
cangen can1 -g 2 -I 100 -L 8 &
cangen can1 -g 2 -I 101 -L 8 &
cangen can1 -g 2 -I 102 -L 8 &
cangen can1 -g 2 -I 103 -L 8 &
cangen can1 -g 2 -I 104 -L 8 &
cangen can1 -g 2 -I 105 -L 8 &
cangen can1 -g 2 -I 106 -L 8 &
cangen can1 -g 2 -I 107 -L 8 &
stress-ng --matrix 0 &
To fix the issue, repeatedly read and acknowledge interrupts at the
start of the ISR until no interrupt flags are set, so the next incoming
interrupt will also result in an edge on the interrupt line.
While we have received a report that even with this patch, the TX queue
can become stuck under certain (currently unknown) circumstances on the
Elkhart Lake, this patch completely fixes the issue with the above
reproducer, and it is unclear whether the remaining issue has a similar
cause at all.
