[PATCH v3] PCI: qcom: Initialize DWC MSI lock for firmware-managed ECAM hosts

From: Yadu M G

Date: Thu Jun 04 2026 - 08:29:04 EST


A lockdep warning is observed during boot on a Qcom firmware-managed
platform:

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?
turning off the locking correctness validator.
...
Call trace:
register_lock_class+0x128/0x4d8
__lock_acquire+0x110/0x1db0
lock_acquire+0x278/0x3d8
_raw_spin_lock_irq+0x6c/0xc0
dw_pcie_irq_domain_alloc+0x48/0x190
irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent+0x2c/0x48
msi_domain_alloc+0x90/0x160
...

dw_pcie_irq_domain_alloc() takes pp->lock while allocating MSI
interrupts. pp->lock is normally initialized by dw_pcie_host_init(), but
Qcom firmware-managed hosts use the ECAM init path instead:

pci_host_common_ecam_create()
pci_ecam_create()
qcom_pcie_ecam_host_init()
dw_pcie_msi_host_init()
dw_pcie_allocate_domains()

That path constructs a fresh struct dw_pcie_rp and calls
dw_pcie_msi_host_init() directly, without going through
dw_pcie_host_init(). As a result, pp->lock has no lockdep key when MSI
vectors are later allocated, which triggers the warning.

Initialize pp->lock in qcom_pcie_ecam_host_init() before registering the
MSI domains so the firmware-managed ECAM path matches the normal DWC host
initialization sequence.
