AFAIK, all shutdown (not remove) routines are called before launching the next kernel even in crash scenario. It is not safe to start the new kernel while hardware is doing a DMA to the system memory and triggering interrupts. Shutdown routine in PCI core used to disable MSI/MSI-x on behalf of all endpoints but it was later decided that this is the responsibility of the endpoint driver. commit fda78d7a0ead144f4b2cdb582dcba47911f4952c Author: Prarit Bhargava Date: Thu Jan 26 14:07:47 2017 -0500 PCI/MSI: Stop disabling MSI/MSI-X in pci_device_shutdown() The pci_bus_type .shutdown method, pci_device_shutdown(), is called from device_shutdown() in the kernel restart and shutdown paths. Previously, pci_device_shutdown() called pci_msi_shutdown() and pci_msix_shutdown(). This disables MSI and MSI-X, which causes the device to fall back to raising interrupts via INTx. But the driver is still bound to the device, it doesn't know about this change, and it likely doesn't have an INTx handler, so these INTx interrupts cause "nobody cared" warnings like this: irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.8.2-1.el7_UNSUPPORTED.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Z820 Workstation/158B, BIOS J63 v03.90 06/ ... The MSI disabling code was added by d52877c7b1af ("pci/irq: let pci_device_shutdown to call pci_msi_shutdown v2") because a driver left MSI enabled and kdump failed because the kexeced kernel wasn't prepared to receive the MSI interrupts. Subsequent commits 1851617cd2da ("PCI/MSI: Disable MSI at enumeration even if kernel doesn't support MSI") and e80e7edc55ba ("PCI/MSI: Initialize MSI capability for all architectures") changed the kexeced kernel to disable all MSIs itself so it no longer depends on the crashed kernel to clean up after itself. Stop disabling MSI/MSI-X in pci_device_shutdown(). This resolves the "nobody cared" unhandled IRQ issue above. It also allows PCI serial devices, which may rely on the MSI interrupts, to continue outputting messages during reboot/shutdown.
