PCI: Add pcie_hp=nomsi to disable MSI/MSI-X for pciehp driver
Add a parameter to avoid using MSI/MSI-X for PCIe native hotplug; it's known to be buggy on some platforms. In my environment, while shutting down, following stack trace is shown sometimes. irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Pid: 1081, comm: reboot Not tainted 3.2.0 #1 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff810cec1d>] __report_bad_irq+0x3d/0xe0 [<ffffffff810cee1c>] note_interrupt+0x15c/0x210 [<ffffffff810cc485>] handle_irq_event_percpu+0xb5/0x210 [<ffffffff810cc621>] handle_irq_event+0x41/0x70 [<ffffffff810cf675>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0x55/0xc0 [<ffffffff81015356>] handle_irq+0x46/0xb0 [<ffffffff814fbe9d>] do_IRQ+0x5d/0xe0 [<ffffffff814f146e>] common_interrupt+0x6e/0x6e [<ffffffff8106b040>] ? __do_softirq+0x60/0x210 [<ffffffff8108aeb1>] ? hrtimer_interrupt+0x151/0x240 [<ffffffff814fb5ec>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 [<ffffffff810152d5>] do_softirq+0x65/0xa0 [<ffffffff8106ae9d>] irq_exit+0xbd/0xe0 [<ffffffff814fbf8e>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6e/0x99 [<ffffffff814f9e5e>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x6e/0x80 <EOI> [<ffffffff814f0fb1>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x11/0x20 [<ffffffff812629fc>] pci_bus_write_config_word+0x6c/0x80 [<ffffffff81266fc2>] pci_intx+0x52/0xa0 [<ffffffff8127de3d>] pci_intx_for_msi+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff8127e4fb>] pci_msi_shutdown+0x7b/0x110 [<ffffffff81269d34>] pci_device_shutdown+0x34/0x50 [<ffffffff81326c4f>] device_shutdown+0x2f/0x140 [<ffffffff8107b981>] kernel_restart_prepare+0x31/0x40 [<ffffffff8107b9e6>] kernel_restart+0x16/0x60 [<ffffffff8107bbfd>] sys_reboot+0x1ad/0x220 [<ffffffff814f4b90>] ? do_page_fault+0x1e0/0x460 [<ffffffff811942d0>] ? __sync_filesystem+0x90/0x90 [<ffffffff8105c9aa>] ? __cond_resched+0x2a/0x40 [<ffffffff814ef090>] ? _cond_resched+0x30/0x40 [<ffffffff81169e17>] ? iterate_supers+0xb7/0xd0 [<ffffffff814f9382>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b handlers: [<ffffffff8138a0f0>] usb_hcd_irq [<ffffffff8138a0f0>] usb_hcd_irq [<ffffffff8138a0f0>] usb_hcd_irq Disabling IRQ #16 An un-wanted interrupt is generated when PCI driver switches from MSI/MSI-X to INTx while shutting down the device. The interrupt does not happen if MSI/MSI-X is not used on the device. I confirmed that this problem does not happen if pcie_hp=nomsi was specified and hotplug operation worked fine as usual. v2: Automatically disable MSI/MSI-X against following device: PCI bridge: Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 807f (rev 02) v3: Based on the review comment, combile the if statements. v4: Removed module parameter. Move some code to build pciehp as a module. Move device specific code to driver/pci/quirks.c. v5: Drop a device specific code until getting a vendor statement.
