Wen Xiong ebabaddab7 scsi: ipr: Enable/disable IRQD_NO_BALANCING during reset
[ Upstream commit 6ac3484fb1 ]

A dynamic remove/add storage adapter test hits EEH on PowerPC:

A PCIe bus trace reveals that a vector of MSI-X is cleared to 0 by
irqbalance daemon. If we disable irqbalance daemon, we won't see the
issue.

During adapter reset, ipr device driver blocks config space access but
can't block MMIO access for MSI-X entries.  There is very small window:
irqbalance daemon kicks in during adapter reset before ipr driver calls
pci_restore_state(pdev) to restore MSI-X table.

irqbalance daemon reads back all 0 for that MSI-X vector in
__pci_read_msi_msg().

irqbalance daemon:

  msi_domain_set_affinity()
  ->irq_chip_set_affinity_patent()
  ->xive_irq_set_affinity()
  ->irq_chip_compose_msi_msg()
    ->pseries_msi_compose_msg()
    ->__pci_read_msi_msg(): read all 0 since didn't call pci_restore_state
  ->irq_chip_write_msi_msg()
    -> pci_write_msg_msi(): write 0 to the msix vector entry

When ipr driver calls pci_restore_state(pdev) in
ipr_reset_restore_cfg_space(), the MSI-X vector entry has been cleared
by irqbalance daemon in pci_write_msg_msix().

  pci_restore_state()
  ->__pci_restore_msix_state()

Below is the MSI-X table for ipr adapter after irqbalance daemon kicked
in during adapter reset:

  Dump MSIx table: index=0 address_lo=c800 address_hi=10000000 msg_data=0
  Dump MSIx table: index=1 address_lo=c810 address_hi=10000000 msg_data=0

IRQ balancing is not required during adapter reset.

Enable "IRQ_NO_BALANCING" flag before starting adapter reset and disable
it after calling pci_restore_state(). The irqbalance daemon is disabled
for this short period of time (~2s).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
