Subject: [PATCH v5 5/9] irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Mask all interrupts in probe()
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 19:10:35 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821101039.4037925-6-Zhipeng.wang_1@oss.nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821101039.4037925-1-Zhipeng.wang_1@oss.nxp.com>
From: Zhipeng Wang <zhipeng.wang_1@nxp.com>
probe() sets up the chained handlers without first masking the input
interrupts. For a built-in driver this happened to be harmless because
CHANMASK resets to all-masked, but once the driver can be unloaded and
reloaded a child interrupt left unmasked at unload time survives in
hardware. On the next probe() the parent interrupts are re-mapped and
unmasked before the new domain is ready, so a still-asserted line
immediately storms the parent with no handler to service it.
Mask all interrupts in probe() before wiring up the chained handlers.
CHANMASK uses inverted polarity (a set bit enables the interrupt), so
masking means writing zero. This mirrors the sibling NXP chained mux
irq-imx-intmux.c, which masks all sources at probe() time.
Masking is only done in probe(), not in remove(): the next probe()
quiesces the hardware before it re-maps and unmasks the parent
interrupts, which is the only window in which a stale line could storm.
Masking in remove() would also mean touching CHANMASK while the device
may already be runtime-suspended with the clock gated.
