The backtrace might be OK (maybe slightly overkill), but all the
stack addresses are certainly irrelevant and distracting. We only
need enough to recognize the problem. I don't think the modules list
is relevant either.

I would shorten it to the bare minimum. Also the patch description
itself could be truncated to the required bitsâ

ânot to mention this piece. d7ce4377494a ("powerpc/fsl_msi: mark the msi
cascade handler IRQF_NO_THREAD") fixes the same bug in arch/ppc so they
bypassed you fixing it.

ret = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, pp->irq,
- dra7xx_pcie_msi_irq_handler, IRQF_SHARED,
+ dra7xx_pcie_msi_irq_handler,
+ IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_NO_THREAD,
"dra7-pcie-msi", pp);

There's similar code in exynos_add_pcie_port(), imx6_add_pcie_port(),
and spear13xx_add_pcie_port(). Do they need similar changes? If not,
why not?

You are right. The request for the handler exynos_pcie_msi_irq_handler(),
imx6_pcie_msi_handler() and spear13xx_pcie_irq_handler() needs same
treatment.
Additionally we have:

arch/mips/pci/msi-octeon.c: if (request_irq(OCTEON_IRQ_PCI_MSI0, octeon_msi_interrupt0,
arch/sparc/kernel/pci_msi.c: err = request_irq(irq, sparc64_msiq_interrupt, 0,
drivers/pci/host/pci-tegra.c: err = request_irq(msi->irq, tegra_pcie_msi_irq, 0,
drivers/pci/host/pcie-rcar.c: err = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, msi->irq1, rcar_pcie_msi_irq,
drivers/pci/host/pcie-rcar.c: err = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, msi->irq2, rcar_pcie_msi_irq,
drivers/pci/host/pcie-xilinx.c: err = devm_request_irq(dev, port->irq, xilinx_pcie_intr_handler,

which require the same kind of fixâ

I see your discussion about DRA7 hardware design, but my impression is
that this problem affects anybody who calls dw_handle_msi_irq() from a
handler registered with IRQF_SHARED.

â brecause all of them invoke generic_handle_irq() from the requsted
handler. generic_handle_irq grabs raw_locks and this needs to run in
raw-irq context.
IRQF_SHARED could probably go away. The IRQ is mostlikely exclusive
assigned in each SoC for MSI interrupt demux.

It sounds like we should fix all these places at once. If you
(Grygorii) work up a patch that does them all, with a more generic
changelog, then we can solicit testing and acks.

Sure, will do:
- change will be applied for files listed in this thread only
- IRQF_SHARED will be left unchanged
- commit message will be made more generic
- i prefer to keep comment in code for dra7 as is.
Is it ok?
