[PATCH v2 10/15] PCI: rcar-gen4: Take over the iMSI-RX interrupt
From: Koichiro Den
Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 13:01:09 EST
On R-Car Gen4, intreq_pcim_sub ("msi") carries more than the integrated
MSI receiver: the controller's reset requests and the Root Port's PME
and bandwidth notifications are signalled on the same line, and the
following patches need to handle them. With the DesignWare core owning
the line through its chained handler, the driver would have to hook into
that handler when iMSI-RX is used and request the line itself otherwise.
Instead, request the interrupt in the driver in all configurations and
set pp->msi_irq[0] to -ENODEV so the core does not install its chained
handler, as spear13xx, keembay and dra7xx do. The handler demultiplexes
the MSIs through dw_handle_msi_irq() when the APP block reports
msi_ctrl_int. With an external MSI controller or pci=nomsi the iMSI-RX
is not set up, so keep msi_ctrl_int masked rather than enabled, and the
handler has nothing to do there yet. Request the interrupt before
enumeration, as endpoint drivers may use MSIs from their probe, with
IRQF_NO_THREAD so the MSIs are demultiplexed in hard IRQ context like
the chained handler did. The interrupt is required by the binding.
Release the interrupt in .deinit, before asserting the controller reset
and disabling its clocks. Disable it around a Root Port reset because
the handler accesses the MSI status registers through DBI.
The DT routes downstream INTx to the same line, but the driver has never
supported INTx (no INTx domain, INTx enables never set), so requesting
the line exclusively takes nothing away.

Changes in v2:
- New patch. Owning the interrupt in both MSI configurations, as
suggested by Marek, replaces the pre_msi_irq host op and the
two-path handling of v1. (Marek)
- Rename sub_irq to msi_irq to avoid confusion with a child IRQ. In the
complete series, pcie-rcar-gen4.c uses these names:
* DT "msi" IRQ: msi_irq (was named sub_irq in v1, after
intreq_pcim_sub)
* DT "aer" IRQ: aer_irq
* Virtual Root Port IRQ: rp_irq
Known gap spotted while preparing v2:
- dw_pcie_host_deinit() frees the iMSI-RX domain before .deinit, so a
parent handler already past the APP status check can still reach it.
Not specific to this driver: spear13xx, keembay and dra7xx own their
parent IRQ the same way (no .remove, so probe unwind only), and
dw_pcie_free_msi() does not synchronize the core's own chained
handler either. I believe this needs a common DWC core fix letting
glue drivers stop the parent IRQ before the domain goes. That would
require each driver review and testing, so I left it out of scope.
