At least that one could be explained by the changes. In the previous
management scheme the IOAPIC interrupts were always allocated even when the
interrupt was not in use. The new scheme does not longer do that because
people complained about the vector waste (16 vectors on each CPU) and it
got rid of all the special casing of IRQ0-15.

So the old scheme silently consumed the spurious vector. I added debug code
to that effect to 4.14 and on that machine IRQ7 is triggered at the same
point post resume and the core code drops it silently because the interrupt
is marked masked and no action assigned.

So the only difference to today is that the new code complains, while the
old one does an extra mask of the already masked IOAPIC pin and silently
returns.

After quite some investigation I found out that its independent of the
graphics thing. That's a genuine issue on that platform which seems to emit
random legacy vectors which were never ever used for unknown reasons. I
verified that both the IOAPIC and the PIC are masked, so they cannot send
crap. Though it turned out that the silly firmware unmasks the PIC and
leaves it that way when it returns from suspend. Now there is a race
whether the kernel resume path manages to mask the PIC again early enough
before something triggers IRQ7 or not. Adding/removing debug code makes the
problem come and go. So I really don't worry about that one and rather
prefer to have the spurious interrupt printed than silently consumed by
chance.

Now the graphics issue is a different story. That only happens on
hibernation after doing the snapshot. There all non boot cpus are onlined
again and after that the devices are 'thawed'. The following reenable of
interrupts fails because i915 is not in PCI_D0 state.

Suspend:

irq_migrate_all_off_this_cpu: Mask 125 pci_msi_mask_irq+0x0/0x10
__pci_write_msi_msg: 0000:00:02.0 00000000fee0100c 0000412a
__pci_write_msi_msg: Not written <- Device not in PCI_D0
....
device_pm_callback_start: i915 0000:00:02.0, parent: pci0000:00, noirq bus [resume]
pci_pm_resume_noirq <-dpm_run_callback
pci_pm_resume_noirq <-dpm_run_callback
pci_pm_default_resume_early <-pci_pm_resume_noirq
pci_pm_default_resume_early <-pci_pm_resume_noirq
__pci_write_msi_msg: 0000:00:02.0 00000000fee0100c 0000412a <-- Set the new affinity
device_pm_callback_end: i915 0000:00:02.0, err=0

Hibernate:

irq_migrate_all_off_this_cpu: Mask 125 pci_msi_mask_irq+0x0/0x10
__pci_write_msi_msg: 0000:00:02.0 00000000fee0100c 0000412a
__pci_write_msi_msg: Not written <- Device not in PCI_D0
....
device_pm_callback_start: i915 0000:00:02.0, parent: pci0000:00, noirq bus [thaw]
pci_pm_thaw_noirq <-dpm_run_callback
__pci_write_msi_msg: 0000:00:02.0 00000000fee0100c 0000412a
__pci_write_msi_msg: Not written <--- Device is not in PCI_D0
device_pm_callback_end: i915 0000:00:02.0, err=0

So that code path fails to set the new affinity because at the point where
the MSI msg should be written the device state is != PCI_D0.

Now, what's different vs. 4.14:

The 4.14 code accidentaly had the irq descriptor for this vector still
populated in the old CPU due to the convoluted way the vector allocation
worked. I have still to investigate if one of those cases is actually
leaking the descriptor, which would be a fatal bug.

But the new code does a proper cleanup and does not repopulate it on the
offline CPU. So that unearthes the issue. I'm handing that over to the PM
folks to look at. I got lost in that maze of callbacks.
