If the device doesn't support shutdown, disabling interrupts may cause
trouble. For example, virtio-scsi-pci doesn't implement shutdown, and
after we disable MSI-X, futher notifications from device will be
delivered to IRQ, which is unexpected. This IRQ will not be cleared, and
may prevent us from making progress, by keep triggering interrupts.

The patch may be okay, but I think the bug here is also that virtio-pci
is not defining a .shutdown callback.  It should define one and call
free_irq (for INTX) and pci_disable_msix.

How is this related to the virtio-scsi patch that you posted?  Do you
need both to fix the problem you reported?

It's not enough. The device has to know we disabled msix, otherwise it will
send us IRQ, which is wrong.

This one should be enough. I was wrong in saying virtio-scsi hanging the
shutdown is because requests not being completed, it's more because of the
unexpected IRQ as explained in [1].

If the driver doesn't provide a shutdown method and doesn't itself
disable MSI/MSI-X, then pci_msi(x)_shutdown won't be called anymore,
no ?

This is probably ok (but unclean) for a system shutdown, but could
cause problems for something like kexec ?

Right.

Doesn't the reset in kexec clean this up during initialization?

Without shutdown, anything in the driver is unclean anyway, for example
free_irq is not called.

Ccing Alex, he can probably confirm if my understanding is indeed correct.

I guess it would take the same path as a reboot.

True, And that is why the MSI/-X shutdown functions are called here
because pci can't always rely on the individual device drivers to do
the right thing, but atleast can make a best effort at cleaning up.

I don't understand, do you mean that no reset will be done before more
operations on the device?

This virtio-scsi case shows us that intermediate state is bad, so I still think
we should call pci_msix_shutdown conditionally.

I meant that it's upto the individual driver, pci will take the same path
as a regular reboot.

Won't it be disabled as a spurious interrupt if it's retriggering that
quickly?  Is there something unique about virtio that makes this worse
than bare metal?

If we were to kexec, the only thing I see touching MSI/X enable bits is
pci_msi_init_pci_dev(), which unconditionally disables MSI/X as we walk
PCI and discover devices.  Why is disabling there any different?  A new
instance of the virtio driver hasn't yet been bound to the device to
quiesce it.

A concern with this patch would be that some drivers potentially don't
implement a shutdown routine because they rely on pci-core to do this
minimal cleanup.  I'm tempted to suggest adding a call to pci_intx() to
disable INTx as part of the PCI-core shutdown, but that sounds like
asking for trouble with broken legacy devices.  It sure seems a lot
safer to make a virtio-scsi-pci shutdown function.  Thanks,

Alex

You can use pci_intx to disable INTX too.  So I think this is a
virtio-pci bug.

I would say:
	Since there's no handler, the interrupt line will never be cleared,
	causing a deadlock.

So the following bus reset will disable msi anyway,
IMHO there's no need to do it in software.
kexec is more interesting. This is an attempt to leave
device in a consistent state:

	commit d52877c7b1afb8c37ebe17e2005040b79cb618b0
	Author: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel.send@gmail.com>
	Date:   Wed Apr 23 14:58:09 2008 -0700
	    pci/irq: let pci_device_shutdown to call pci_msi_shutdown v2

but arguably, it's better to disable msi/msix when kexec
starts - for example, kexec might run after a crash (kdump)
and shutdown callbacks are not invoked in that case.


The reason this does not trigger for MPT is because
it has an intx handler so that gets invoked.

So here's my proposal:
- for 4.0, let's just do a virtio specific work-around,
  this seems safer.
- for 4.1, let's disable msi/msix first thing on
  kexec startup, before driver probe.

I'll post both patches shortly.
