Subject: [PATCH] lib: sbi: Clear all IPI devices when processing an IPI
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 21:00:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908-ipi-clear-all-v1-1-b1bd5d016eb6@linux.dev> (raw)
Hart start sends wake-up IPIs through all registered IPI devices, but
sbi_ipi_process() only clears the preferred device. A notification from
another device can arrive after warm initialization has cleared it.
With both IMSIC and ACLINT MSWI, IMSIC is preferred and has no ipi_clear
callback: its interrupts are acknowledged through MTOPEI. A late ACLINT
notification therefore leaves MSIP asserted, trapping the hart in the
machine-mode interrupt handler and potentially timing out Linux CPU
bring-up.
Clear all registered IPI devices before consuming the software IPI event
bits so that late wake-up notifications are acknowledged too.
Fixes: 94f0f8465622 ("lib: sbi: Extends sbi_ipi_raw_send() to use all available IPI devices")
