This gives the list of MSIs that -were generated. However, instead of acknowledging only the MSIs that -were generated, we acknowledge *all* the MSIs, by writing -~MSI_DOORBELL_MASK in the ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS register. - -This creates a race condition: if a new MSI that isn't part of the -ones read into the temporary "msimask" variable is fired before we -acknowledge all MSIs, then we will simply loose it. - -It is important to mention that this ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS -register has the following behavior: "A CPU write of 0 clears the bits -in this field. A CPU write of 1 has no effect". This is what allows us -to simply write ~msimask to acknoledge the handled MSIs. - -Notice that the same problem is present in the IPI implementation, but -it is fixed as a separate patch, so that this IPI fix can be pushed to -older stable versions as appropriate (all the way to 3.8), while the -MSI code only appeared in 3.13. - -Signed-off-by: Lior Amsalem <alior@marvell.com> -Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> -Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> ---- - drivers/irqchip/irq-armada-370-xp.c | 2 +- - 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) - ---- a/drivers/irqchip/irq-armada-370-xp.c -+++ b/drivers/irqchip/irq-armada-370-xp.c -@@ -381,7 +381,7 @@ armada_370_xp_handle_irq(struct pt_regs - ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS) - & PCI_MSI_DOORBELL_MASK; - -- writel(~PCI_MSI_DOORBELL_MASK, per_cpu_int_base + -+ writel(~msimask, per_cpu_int_base + - ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS); - - for (msinr = PCI_MSI_DOORBELL_START; |
