This fixes a race which can result in the same virtual IRQ number being assigned to two different MSI interrupts. The most visible consequence of that is usually a warning and stack trace from the sysfs code about an attempt to create a duplicate entry in sysfs. The race happens when one CPU (say CPU 0) is disposing of an MSI while another CPU (say CPU 1) is setting up an MSI. CPU 0 calls (for example) pnv_teardown_msi_irqs(), which calls msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() to indicate that the MSI (i.e. its hardware IRQ number) is no longer in use. Then, before CPU 0 gets to calling irq_dispose_mapping() to free up the virtal IRQ number, CPU 1 comes in and calls msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() to allocate an MSI, and gets the same hardware IRQ number that CPU 0 just freed. CPU 1 then calls irq_create_mapping() to get a virtual IRQ number, which sees that there is currently a mapping for that hardware IRQ number and returns the corresponding virtual IRQ number (which is the same virtual IRQ number that CPU 0 was using). CPU 0 then calls irq_dispose_mapping() and frees that virtual IRQ number. Now, if another CPU comes along and calls irq_create_mapping(), it is likely to get the virtual IRQ number that was just freed, resulting in the same virtual IRQ number apparently being used for two different hardware interrupts. To fix this race, we just move the call to msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() to after the call to irq_dispose_mapping(). Since virq_to_hw() doesn't work for the virtual IRQ number after irq_dispose_mapping() has been called, we need to call it before irq_dispose_mapping() and remember the result for the msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() call. The pattern of calling msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() before irq_dispose_mapping() appears in 5 places under arch/powerpc, and appears to have originated in commit |
