Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/PCI: Improve log message when IRQ cannot be identified
Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2022 00:40:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YfiBfdAf9uHYTf4T@jupiter.dyndns.org> (raw)
The existing code always suggests trying the pci=biosirq kernel parameter, but
this option is only recognized when CONFIG_PCI_BIOS is set, which in turn
depends on CONFIG_X86_32, so it is never appropriate on x86_64.
kernel-parameters.txt confirms that pci=biosirq is intended to be supported
only on X86-32.
The new version tries to be more helpful by recommending changes to ACPI
settings if appropriate, and only mentioning pci=biosirq (and the manual
pirq= option) for kernels that support it. Additionally, it encourages
the user to file bug reports so faulty firmware can be identified and
potentially handled via known quirks in a future kernel release.
ACPI is relevant to these warnings because it will significantly change
the path taken through the PCI discovery (and later interrupt routing)
code. Booting with acpi=noirq should be highly unusual and likely
indicates an attempt to work around faulty motherboard firmware, so I
added a new log message in pci_acpi_init() for this case, with yet
another recommendation to file a bug report.

Changes in v2:
- Tried to make the code more legible by reducing use of #ifdef (only
used where required to guard reference to acpi_noirq)
- The tradeoff is there's now an idiosyncratic use of do {...} while (0),
but that lets me early-out from the acpi_noirq case without more #ifdefs
or duplicated if statements.
- Included a warning for acpi_noirq in pci_acpi_init() per maintainer suggestion
- Encourage user to file bug reports in all warning messages
