Hi,

since v4.15, I get the following runtime warning when running sabrelite images
in qemu.

irq 65: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
...
handlers:
[<26292474>] fec_pps_interrupt
Disabling IRQ #65
fec 2188000.ethernet (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): MDIO read timeout

Bisect points to commit 4ad1ceec05e491 ("net: fec: Let fec_ptp have its
own interrupt routine"). Analysis shows that platform_irq_count()
returns 2, which is reduced to 1 by fec_enet_get_irq_cnt().
If I let fec_enet_get_irq_cnt() return 2, the problem is gone.
Reverting commit 4ad1ceec05e491 also fixes the problem.

Bisect log is attached.


Sounds like you found a bug with qemu. I just booted sabrelite over nfs fine.
My interrupts look like this.


64: 98767 0 0 0 GIC-0 150 Level 2188000.ethernet
65: 0 0 0 0 GIC-0 151 Level 2188000.ethernet

Irq 65 is only for ptp interrrupts now. If qemu is signaling an tx/rx frame interrupt on 65,
then qemu is wrong. Of course, I've never used qemu so feel free to ignore me if I make no sense.


Thanks for checking with real hardware.

This is what I see (with your patch reverted):

64: 0 GIC-0 150 Level 2188000.ethernet
65: 64 GIC-0 151 Level 2188000.ethernet

Looking into the qemu source, I see:

#define FSL_IMX6_ENET_MAC_1588_IRQ 118
#define FSL_IMX6_ENET_MAC_IRQ 119

FSL_IMX6_ENET_MAC_IRQ is then connected to fec interrupt index 0, and FSL_IMX6_ENET_MAC_1588_IRQ
is connected to fec interrupt index 1.

This may suggest that the defines are reversed. I'll see what happens if I swap them.

Thanks,
Guenter
