Subject: [PATCH 1/2] thunderbolt: drop start_poll guard in tb_ring_poll_complete()
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 18:55:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428015521.3454006-2-benjamin.s.berman@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428015521.3454006-1-benjamin.s.berman@gmail.com>

Under concurrent load on a single NHI with several rings simultaneously
in NAPI poll (e.g. a Maple Ridge TB4 transit forwarding tbnet traffic
between two peers), one ring's interrupt enable bit in
REG_RING_INTERRUPT_BASE can stay cleared.  MSI-X stops for that ring,
NAPI is never rescheduled, but carrier is reported up and no driver
event fires.  The ring stays masked until thunderbolt_net is reloaded.

tb_ring_poll_complete() gated the unmask on @start_poll:

	if (ring->start_poll)
		__ring_interrupt_mask(ring, false);

while the ISR path masks unconditionally via __ring_interrupt().  In a
window where @start_poll is observed as NULL by the unmask path while
the paired mask persists, the ring is left permanently masked.

Gate on @running instead and add an ioread32() barrier so the posted
enable reaches the device before the spinlock is dropped.

On NHIs without QUIRK_AUTO_CLEAR_INT a second issue compounds the
first: stale pending status in REG_RING_NOTIFY_BASE can prevent the
hardware from re-arming its MSI-X generator when the ring is
re-enabled.  Clear the ring's bit in REG_RING_INT_CLEAR before setting
the enable bit, mirroring what ring_msix() already does at ISR entry.

Verified on a Maple Ridge 4C transit and two TB3 Titan Ridge endpoints
running NCCL all-reduce over tb-lo: pre-patch the chain wedges in
under 1 GB; post-patch a 192 GB run (3000 iterations of a 64 MiB
all-reduce) completes with mask/unmask counters balanced.
