Public bug reported:
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
The ipmb driver failing to load is just the result of i2c-mlxbf
not receiving interrupts.
In fact, any driver dependent on the i2c-mlxbf driver will not work.
How to reproduce this issue?
- modprobe gpio-mlxbf3
- modprobe pwr-mlxbf
- modprobe mlxbf-gige -> this calls into the gpio driver which enables the
PHY interrupt (gpio10)
- reboot linux
-> graceful reboot does not remove modules so it doesn't disable the PHY
interrupt via
mlxbf3_gpio_irq_disable. Hence, the interrupt remains enabled.
- In anolis, we don't enforce the dependency between gpio-mlxbf3 and
mlxbf-gige.
So the next time linux boots and loads the driver in this order, we
encounter the issue:
- modprobe mlxbf-gige. The gige driver uses polling in the case where it
loads before the gpio
driver. Note that the interrupt at GPIO10 is still enabled at this point
so if the interrupt
triggers, there is nothing to clear it.
- modprobe gpio-mlxbf3
- modprobe i2c-mlxbf. The interrupt wouldn't work here because it is shared
with the gpio
interrupts which was not cleared.
[Fix]
* The solution is to add a shutdown function to the gpio driver to clear and
disable all interrupts.
* Also make sure to clear the interrupt after disabling it in the disable irq
function.
[Test Case]
* Do the reboot test (2000-3000 iterations)
* Check that all following drivers are loaded without errors: gpio-mlxbf3,
pwr_mlxbf, mlxbf-gige, i2c-mlxbf
* check that the ipmb drivers are loaded and functional (send ipmb command to
the bmc and vice versa)
[Regression Potential]
* No known regression.
