Subject: [PATCH 2/2] virtio_ring: return IRQ_HANDLED for stale interrupts when cb disabled
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 18:26:26 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331102626.108962-3-lange_tang@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260331102626.108962-1-lange_tang@163.com>

From: Longjun Tang <tanglongjun@kylinos.cn>

In the vring_interrupt, if the used ring is empty, IRQ_NONE is returned.
However,Sometimes, such as with busy-polling, buffers might be consumed
from the used ring before an stale interrupt notification arrives. it
leading to return IRQ_NONE.

The kernel's spurious-IRQ detector counts consecutive IRQ_NONE returns
and will permanently disable the interrupt line if 99,900 out of 100,000
interrupts go unhandled.

Add is_cb_disabled() to virtqueue_ops and, when more_used() is false but
cb are suppressed, return IRQ_HANDLED instead of IRQ_NONE so the spurious
counter does not accumulate.
