[PATCH v2] cxl/events: Return IRQ_NONE when no event is pending

[PATCH v2] cxl/events: Return IRQ_NONE when no event is pending

[Shaikh Kamaluddin]

CXL event interrupts may share an MSI/MSI-X vector with other event
logs or device features. Consequently, cxl_event_thread() is registered
with IRQF_SHARED and must determine whether the event-log facility
claimed the interrupt.

The handler masks the Device Event Status register to the event logs
supported by the driver. However, when no supported status bit is set,
it exits the processing loop and still returns IRQ_HANDLED. This
incorrectly reports that the interrupt was claimed and prevents the
generic spurious-interrupt detector from accounting it as unhandled.

Track whether the CXL event handler claimed the interrupt and return
IRQ_NONE when no supported event is detected. If no handler sharing the
vector claims a sustained interrupt storm, the generic spurious-
interrupt detector can eventually identify and disable the affected
IRQ.

Changes in V2:
- Emphasize that returning IRQ_NONE enables generic spurious-interrupt
  detection and drop the Fixes tag. (Jonathan Cameron)
- Check whether the event interrupt is already disabled by Anisa Su's
  patch; no code changes were needed. (Ben Cheatham)
- Rebase onto v7.3-rc2; no code changes.

One thing I want to correct: The change requested was to say a
spurious IRQ will eventually be disabled in the commit message, not
check whether the event interrupts is already disabled...
See https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/aqLZP3ORYzCLfSgR@acer-nitro-anv15-41/T/#m32c74ebf05eee9a3ee49c57dd24848db29919031
I do see that it's been added to the commit message though, so no need
to do anything.

Thanks,
Anisa

Hi Anisa,

I got your point, yes commit message already covered this.
