PCI/MSI: Enable and mask MSI-X early
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 4385539 upstream.

The ordering of MSI-X enable in hardware is dysfunctional:

 1) MSI-X is disabled in the control register
 2) Various setup functions
 3) pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() is invoked which ends up accessing
    the MSI-X table entries
 4) MSI-X is enabled and masked in the control register with the
    comment that enabling is required for some hardware to access
    the MSI-X table

Step #4 obviously contradicts #3. The history of this is an issue with the
NIU hardware. When #4 was introduced the table access actually happened in
msix_program_entries() which was invoked after enabling and masking MSI-X.

This was changed in commit d71d643 ("PCI/MSI: Kill redundant call of
irq_set_msi_desc() for MSI-X interrupts") which removed the table write
from msix_program_entries().

Interestingly enough nobody noticed and either NIU still works or it did
not get any testing with a kernel 3.19 or later.

Nevertheless this is inconsistent and there is no reason why MSI-X can't be
enabled and masked in the control register early on, i.e. move step #4
above to step #1. This preserves the NIU workaround and has no side effects
on other hardware.
