Commit Message

Without this patch, a pciehp hotplug port can stop generating interrupts
on hotplug events, so device adds and removals will not be seen.

The pciehp interrupt handler pciehp_isr() will read the slot status
register and then write back to it to clear the bits that caused the
interrupt. If a different interrupt event bit gets set between the read and
the write, pciehp_isr will exit without having cleared all of the interrupt
event bits. If this happens when the MSI isn't masked (it will never be,
for example, when MSR per-vector masking is not supported), we won't get
any more hotplug interrupts from that device.

That is expected behavior, according to the PCI Express Base Specification
Revision 5.0 Version 1.0, section 6.7.3.4, "Software Notification of Hot-
Plug Events".

Because the "presence detect changed" and "data link layer state changed"
event bits can both get set at nearly the same time when a device is added
or removed, this is more likely to happen than it might seem. The issue was
found (and can be reproduced rather easily) by connecting and disconnecting
an NVMe storage device on at least one system model where the NVMe devices
were being connected to an AMD PCIe port (PCI device 0x1022/0x1483).

This patch fixes this issue by modifying pciehp_isr() by looping back and
re-reading the slot status register immediately after writing to it, until
it sees that all of the event status bits have been cleared.

v3:
  * removed pvm_capable flag (from v2) since MSI may not be masked
    regardless of whether per-vector masking is supported
  * tweaked comments

v2:
  * fixed ctrl_warn() call
  * improved comments
  * added pvm_capable flag and changed pciehp_isr() to loop back only when
    pvm_capable flag not set (suggested by Lukas Wunner)

Actually only *three* possible events could generate this interrupt
because pcie_enable_notification() only enables DLLSC, CCIE and
either of ABP or PDC.

Writing "events" instead of "status" would seem to be more advantageous
because it reduces the number of loops.  Say you read PDC in the first
loop iteration, then DLLSC in the second loop iteration and shortly
before writing the register, PDC transitions to 1.  If you write
"events", you can make do with 2 loop iterations, if you write "status"
you'll need 3.

Please use "pci_dev_msi_enabled(pdev)" as conditional for the if-clause,
we don't need this with INTx.


Using a for (;;) or do/while loop that you jump out of if
(!status || !pci_dev_msi_enabled(pdev)) might be more readable
than a goto, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,

Actually, scratch that.  After thinking about this problem for a day
I've come up with a much simpler and more elegant solution.  Could you
test if the below works for you?

This solution has the added benefit that the IRQ thread is started up
once the first event bits have been collected.  If more event bits are
found in the additional loop iterations, they're added to the collected
event bits and the IRQ thread will pick them up asynchronously.  Once no
more bits are found, the hardirq handler exits with IRQ_NONE.  This means
that the genirq code won't wake the IRQ thread but that doesn't matter
because the ISR has already done that itself.  Should also work correctly
in poll mode and the behavior in INTx mode should be as before.

Sorry, I missed a few things:

* pm_runtime_put() is called too often in the MSI case.
* If only the CC bit is set or if ignore_hotplug is set, the function
  may return prematurely without re-reading the Slot Status register.
* Returning IRQ_NONE in the MSI case even though the IRQ thread was woken
  may incorrectly signal a spurious interrupt to the genirq code.
  It's better to return IRQ_HANDLED instead.

Below is another attempt.  I'll have to take a look at this with a
fresh pair of eyeballs though to verify I haven't overlooked anything
else and also to determine if this is actually simpler than Stuart's
approach.  Again, the advantage here is that processing of the events
by the IRQ thread is sped up by not delaying it until the Slot Status
register has settled.

Thanks.

After some deliberation I've come full circle and think that Stuart's
approach is actually better than mine:

I thought that my approach would speed up processing of events by
waking the IRQ thread immediately after the first loop iteration.
But I've realized that right at the beginning of the IRQ thread,
synchronize_hardirq() is called, so the IRQ thread will wait for
the hardirq handler to finish before actually processing the events.

The rationale for the call to synchronize_hardirq() is that the
IRQ thread was woken, but now sees that the hardirq handler is
running (again) to collect more events.  In that situation it makes
sense to wait for them to be collected before starting to process
events.

Is the synchronize_hardirq() absolutely necessary?  Not really,
but I still think that it makes sense.  In reality, the latency
for additional loop iterations is likely small, so it's probably
not worth to optimize for immediate processing after the first
loop iteration.

Stuart's approach is also less intrusive and doesn't change the
logic as much as my approach does.  His patch therefore lends
itself better for backporting to stable.

So I've just respun Stuart's v3 patch, taking into account the
review comments I had sent for it.  I've taken the liberty to make
some editorial changes to the commit message and code comment.
Stuart & Bjorn, if you don't like these, please feel free to roll
back my changes to them as you see fit.

I realize now that I forgot to add the following tags,
Bjorn, could you add them if/when applying?
