Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] PCI/MSI: Add an option to write MSIX ENTRY_DATA before any reads
Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2025 15:50:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250906195014.209521-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025042119-impaired-pretty-e98a@gregkh>
From: Jonathan Currier <dullfire@yahoo.com>
[ Upstream commit cf761e3dacc6ad5f65a4886d00da1f9681e6805a ]
Commit 7d5ec3d36123 ("PCI/MSI: Mask all unused MSI-X entries") introduced a
readl() from ENTRY_VECTOR_CTRL before the writel() to ENTRY_DATA.
This is correct, however some hardware, like the Sun Neptune chips, the NIU
module, will cause an error and/or fatal trap if any MSIX table entry is
read before the corresponding ENTRY_DATA field is written to.
Add an optional early writel() in msix_prepare_msi_desc().
Fixes: 7d5ec3d36123 ("PCI/MSI: Mask all unused MSI-X entries")
