Subject: [PATCH] PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Fix sleeping function being called from atomic context
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 21:48:17 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917161817.15776-1-bhanuseshukumar@gmail.com> (raw)
When Root Complex(RC) triggers a Doorbell MSI interrupt to Endpoint(EP) it triggers a warning
in the EP. pci_endpoint kselftest target is compiled and used to run the Doorbell test in RC.

Warnings can be reproduced by following steps below.
*On EP side:
1. Configure the pci-epf-test function using steps given below
mount -t configfs none /sys/kernel/config
cd /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/
mkdir functions/pci_epf_test/func1
echo 0x104c > functions/pci_epf_test/func1/vendorid
echo 0xb010 > functions/pci_epf_test/func1/deviceid
echo 32 > functions/pci_epf_test/func1/msi_interrupts
echo 2048 > functions/pci_epf_test/func1/msix_interrupts
ln -s functions/pci_epf_test/func1 controllers/f102000.pcie-ep/
echo 1 > controllers/f102000.pcie-ep/start
*On RC side:
1. Once EP side configuration is done do pci rescan.
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
2. Run Doorbell MSI test using pci_endpoint_test kselftest app.
./pci_endpoint_test -r pcie_ep_doorbell.DOORBELL_TEST
Note: Kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL enabled.
The BUG arises because the EP's Doorbell MSI hard interrupt handler is making an
indirect call to pci_epc_get_msi, which uses mutex inside, from interrupt context.
This patch converts hard irq handler to a threaded irq handler to allow it
to call functions that can sleep during bottom half execution. The threaded
irq handler is registered with IRQF_ONESHOT and keeps interrupt line disabled
until the threaded irq handler completes execution.
