[PATCH] net: mvneta: free/request IRQ across suspend/resume
From: Yun Zhou
Date: Tue Jun 16 2026 - 03:32:41 EST
On PREEMPT_RT, the mvneta IRQ handler is force-threaded. Under high
network traffic, the IRQ can enter suspend with desc->depth == 1
(masked by the oneshot mechanism between handler invocations).
During suspend, the kernel increments depth to 2 and masks the
interrupt at the MPIC level (clearing the SRC_CTL CPU routing bit,
due to IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND). On resume, depth is decremented
back to 1, but since it does not reach 0, the unmask is never
called. The MPIC CPU routing remains cleared, permanently disabling
interrupt delivery.
Fix by freeing the IRQ in suspend and re-requesting it in resume.
This ensures a clean IRQ state (depth=0, proper hardware routing)
on every resume cycle, regardless of the pre-suspend depth. This
follows the approach used by other drivers (e.g. igb).
Fixes: 9768b45ceb0b ("net: mvneta: support suspend and resume")
