[PATCH] irq: restore mask_bits in msi shutdown -v2
From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
Yinghai found after using 2.6.25-rc3 later to kexec RHEL 5.1,
NIC can not be used.

| genirq: do not leave interupts enabled on free_irq
|
| The default_disable() function was changed in commit:
|
| 76d2160147f43f982dfe881404cfde9fd0a9da21
| genirq: do not mask interrupts by default
|
| It removed the mask function in favour of the default delayed
| interrupt disabling. Unfortunately this also broke the shutdown in
| free_irq() when the last handler is removed from the interrupt for
| those architectures which rely on the default implementations. Now we
| can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was
| removed, which can result in spurious interrupts.
|
| Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only
| installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a
| shutdown nor a disable function.
|
| [@stable: affected versions: .21 - .24 ]
for MSI, default_shutdown will call mask_bit for msi device. so all mask bits
will left disabled after free_irq. then if kexec next kernel that only can
use msi_enable bit. all device's MSI can not be used.
want to try to restore MSI mask bits that is saved before using msi in first
kernel.
Eric said:
This is over complicated and for hardware that erroneously triggers
a msi irq after free_irq may have potential problems.
So lets do the much simpler, much safer, and more general method of
restoring the mask bit to it's pci reset defined value (enabled) when
we disable the kernels use of msi.
it will work, because pci_diable_msi is called after free_irq is called.
