The EP driver did not check the mask bit for each MSI before
sending it in raise_irq.  This is now checked, and -EINVAL is
returned if masked.

By looking at this, I think this is wrong too. To the best of my
knowledge a masked MSI should be still delivered when the MSI is
unmasked, otherwise the condition that triggered the MSI is lost.

There must be code in the EP subsystem that records the "pending" MSI
and deliver it when the MSI is actually unmasked (I assumed this is
done in HW but I need your clarification on this).

Either that or the return value must signal a masked MSI so that the
code calling send_msi_irq() can reissue it (when though ?).

I will have to drop this patch too unless you convince me I am wrong; I
still want to understand how this code is *currently* working, I
understand that for the time being the only EP device we have is the
test one but this code path does not look very solid to me.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

In fact, the driver clears the per-vector masking capable bit in the Message
Control register, so this check should not be needed.  Please drop this
patch .

I was returning -EINVAL so that the calling code would be aware that the
MSI was not delivered.

If per-vector masking is enabled, the EP should set the pending bit when
wishing to send a currently masked MSI.  The HW will generate an
local interrupt on any change to the MSI mask register, allowing the
driver to send any pending MSI if they are unmasked.  I would need
to add driver support for this if enabling PVM.  The question then is
what to return from send_msi_irq(), and whether/how to let the
calling code know when/if the MSI was eventually delivered.

The only way I see to do this would be call send_msi_irq() until it
succeeds, this would be effectively polling the MSI mask register.

As above I don't want to convince you to take this patch.  However,
since PVM is currently disabled for the device, the original code
path looks OK to me.  Let me know if you have other concerns
about it.

Alan
