ACPI, PCI: Penalize legacy IRQ used by ACPI SCI
Nick Meier reported a regression with HyperV that "
After rebooting the VM, the following messages are logged in syslog
when trying to load the tulip driver:
tulip: Linux Tulip drivers version 1.1.15 (Feb 27, 2007)
tulip: 0000:00:0a.0: PCI INT A: failed to register GSI
tulip: Cannot enable tulip board #0, aborting
tulip: probe of 0000:00:0a.0 failed with error -16
Errors occur in 3.19.0 kernel
Works in 3.17 kernel.
"
According to the ACPI dump file posted by Nick at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1440072
The ACPI MADT table includes an interrupt source overridden entry for
ACPI SCI:
[236h 0566 1] Subtable Type : 02 <Interrupt Source Override>
[237h 0567 1] Length : 0A
[238h 0568 1] Bus : 00
[239h 0569 1] Source : 09
[23Ah 0570 4] Interrupt : 00000009
[23Eh 0574 2] Flags (decoded below) : 000D
Polarity : 1
Trigger Mode : 3
And in DSDT table, we have _PRT method to define PCI interrupts, which
eventually goes to:
Name (PRSA, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
{3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
})
Name (PRSB, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
{3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
})
Name (PRSC, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
{3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
})
Name (PRSD, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
{3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
})
According to the MADT and DSDT tables, IRQ 9 may be used for:
1) ACPI SCI in level, high mode
2) PCI legacy IRQ in level, low mode
So there's a conflict in polarity setting for IRQ 9.
Prior to commit cd68f6bd53cf ("x86, irq, acpi: Get rid of special
handling of GSI for ACPI SCI"), ACPI SCI is handled specially and
there's no check for conflicts between ACPI SCI and PCI legagy IRQ.
And it seems that the HyperV hypervisor doesn't make use of the
polarity configuration in IOAPIC entry, so it just works.
Commit cd68f6bd53cf gets rid of the specially handling of ACPI SCI,
and then the pin attribute checking code discloses the conflicts
between ACPI SCI and PCI legacy IRQ on HyperV virtual machine,
and rejects the request to assign IRQ9 to PCI devices.
So penalize legacy IRQ used by ACPI SCI and mark it unusable if ACPI
SCI attributes conflict with PCI IRQ attributes.
