As an edge-triggered interrupts, its interrupt status should be cleared
before dispatch to the handler of device.

I'm curious, is this just a code correction or are there real world
cases where something fails?

Also, please add a Fixes tag and maybe Cc stable so this gets backported
automatically.

Can you also include this in the commit log? It would be nice to record
the exact scenario that this fix targets.

All patches change *something*. Can you update the subject line so it
says something specific about the change?

Maybe something like "Clear MSI status before dispatching handler"?

I'm not an IRQ expert, but the reasoning that "we should clear the MSI
interrupt status before dispatching the handler because MSI is an
edge-triggered interrupt" doesn't seem completely convincing because
your code will now look like this:

/* Clear the INTx */
writel(1 << bit, port->base + PCIE_INT_STATUS);
generic_handle_domain_irq(port->irq_domain, bit - INTX_SHIFT);
...

/* Clear MSI interrupt status */
writel(MSI_STATUS, port->base + PCIE_INT_STATUS);
generic_handle_domain_irq(port->inner_domain, bit);

You clear interrupt status before dispatching the handler for *both*
level-triggered INTx interrupts and edge-triggered MSI interrupts.

So it doesn't seem that simply being edge-triggered is the critical
factor here.

This is the usual problem with these half-baked implementations.
The signalling to the primary interrupt controller is level, as
they take a multitude of input and (crucially) latch the MSI
edges. Effectively, this is an edge-to-level converter, with
all the problems that this creates.

By clearing the status *after* the handling, you lose edges that
have been received and coalesced after the read of the status
register. By clearing it *before*, you are acknowledging the
interrupts early, and allowing them to be coalesced independently
of the ones that have been received earlier.

This is however mostly an educated guess. Someone with access
to the TRM should verify this.

Thanks,

M.

I thought there might be other host controllers with similar design,
so I looked at all the other drivers and tried to figure out whether
any others had similar problems.

The ones below look suspicious to me because they all clear some sort
of status register *after* handling an MSI. Can you guys take a look
and make sure they are working correctly?

keembay_pcie_msi_irq_handler
status = readl(pcie->apb_base + PCIE_REGS_INTERRUPT_STATUS)
if (status & MSI_CTRL_INT)
dw_handle_msi_irq
generic_handle_domain_irq
writel(status, pcie->apb_base + PCIE_REGS_INTERRUPT_STATUS)

spear13xx_pcie_irq_handler
status = readl(&app_reg->int_sts)
if (status & MSI_CTRL_INT)
dw_handle_msi_irq
generic_handle_domain_irq
writel(status, &app_reg->int_clr)

advk_pcie_handle_int
isr0_status = advk_readl(pcie, PCIE_ISR0_REG)
if (isr0_status & PCIE_ISR0_MSI_INT_PENDING)
advk_pcie_handle_msi
advk_readl(pcie, PCIE_MSI_STATUS_REG)
advk_writel(pcie, BIT(msi_idx), PCIE_MSI_STATUS_REG)
generic_handle_irq
advk_writel(pcie, PCIE_ISR0_MSI_INT_PENDING, PCIE_ISR0_REG)

mtk_pcie_irq_handler
status = readl_relaxed(pcie->base + PCIE_INT_STATUS_REG)
for_each_set_bit_from(irq_bit, &status, ...)
mtk_pcie_msi_handler
generic_handle_domain_irq
writel_relaxed(BIT(irq_bit), pcie->base + PCIE_INT_STATUS_REG)

I think these two are fine.

The top level interrupt is only a level signal that the is something
to process. The only thing that is unclear is what the effect of
writing to that status register if MSIs are pending at that point. A
sane implementation would just ignore the write.

The actual processing is done in dw_handle_msi_irq(), reading the
PCIE_MSI_INTR0_STATUS register. This same register is then used to Ack
the interrupt, one bit at a time, as interrupts are handled (see
dw_pci_bottom_ack). Ack taking place before the handling, it makes it
safe for edge delivery.

Same thing, I guess. It is just that the Ack has been open-coded.

Similar thing. The PCIE_MSI_SET_STATUS register is read first, and
then written back in the ack callback.

Thanks a lot for taking a look at these, Marc! Is there anything we
can do to make all these drivers/pci/controller/* drivers more
consistent and easier to review? I found it very difficult to look
across all of them and find similar design patterns.

It looks to me that a number of them are just wrapping the same
underlying IP block, most likely the DW controller (this looks to be
the case for at least the first two).

They probably all use different register and bit offsets, but it
should be possible to write a library abstracting all these details
and have a common handling for most of them. This would certainly go a
long way in making things more solid.
