[net,v2,0/1] PHY interruptus horribilis

Message

Lukas Wunner June 8, 2022, 9:52 a.m. UTC

Andrew Lunn (PHY maintainer) asked me to resend this patch and cc the
IRQ maintainer.  I'm also cc'ing PM maintainers for good measure.

The patch addresses an issue with PHY interrupts occurring during a
system sleep transition after the PHY has already been suspended.

The IRQ subsystem uses an internal flag IRQD_WAKEUP_ARMED to avoid
handling such interrupts, but it's not set until suspend_device_irqs()
is called during the ->suspend_noirq() phase.  That's too late in this
case as PHYs are suspended in the ->suspend() phase.  And there's
no external interface to set the flag earlier.

As I'm lacking access to the flag, I'm open coding its functionality
in this patch.  Is this the correct approach or should I instead look
into providing an external interface to the flag?

Side note: suspend_device_irqs() and resume_device_irqs() have been
exported since forever even though there's no module user...

Thanks!

Changes since v1:
* Extend rationale in the commit message.
* Drop Fixes tag, add Tested-by tag (Marek).

That said IMV there could be a wrapper around suspend_device_irq() to
mark a specific IRQ as "suspended" before running
suspend_device_irqs(), but that would require adding "suspend depth"
to struct irq_desc, so the IRQ is not "resumed" prematurely by
resume_device_irqs().  And there needs to be an analogous wrapper
around resume_irq() for the resume path.

Does the single prospective user justify this?
