      x86_64 irq: use mask/unmask and proper locking in fixup_irqs() · 48d8d7ee
      Siddha, Suresh B authored
      Force irq migration path during cpu offline, is not using proper locks and
      irq_chip mask/unmask routines.  This will result in some races(especially
      the device generating the interrupt can see some inconsistent state,
      resulting in issues like stuck irq,..).
      
      Appended patch fixes the issue by taking proper lock and encapsulating
      irq_chip set_affinity() with a mask() before and an unmask() after.
      
      This fixes a MSI irq stuck issue reported by Darrick Wong.
      
      There are several more general bugs in this area(irq migration in the
      process context). For example,
      
       1. Possibility of missing edge triggered irq.
       2. Reliable method of migrating level triggered irq in the process context.
      
      We plan to look and close these in the near future.
      
      Eric says:
      	In addition even with the fix from Suresh there is still at least one
      	nasty hardware race in fixup_irqs().   However we exercise that code
      	path rarely enough that we are unlikely to hit it in the real world,
      	and that race seems to have existed since the code was merged.  And a
      	fix for that is not coming soon as it is an open investigation area
      	if we can fix irq migration to work outside of irq context or if
      	we have to rework the requirements imposed by the generic cpu hotplug
      	and layer on fixup_irqs().  So this may come up again.
