genirq/msi: Make sure PCI MSIs are activated early
Bharat Kumar Gogada reported issues with the generic MSI code, where the end-point ended up with garbage in its MSI configuration (both for the vector and the message). It turns out that the two MSI paths in the kernel are doing slightly different things: generic MSI: disable MSI -> allocate MSI -> enable MSI -> setup EP PCI MSI: disable MSI -> allocate MSI -> setup EP -> enable MSI And it turns out that end-points are allowed to latch the content of the MSI configuration registers as soon as MSIs are enabled. In Bharat's case, the end-point ends up using whatever was there already, which is not what you want. In order to make things converge, we introduce a new MSI domain flag (MSI_FLAG_ACTIVATE_EARLY) that is unconditionally set for PCI/MSI. When set, this flag forces the programming of the end-point as soon as the MSIs are allocated. A consequence of this is that we have an extra activate in irq_startup, but that should be without much consequence. tglx: - Several people reported a VMWare regression with PCI/MSI-X passthrough. It turns out that the patch also cures that issue. - We need to have a look at the MSI disable interrupt path, where we write the msg to all zeros without disabling MSI in the PCI device. Is that correct?
