igb: Disable threaded IRQ for igb_msix_other
During testing of SR-IOV, Red Hat QE encountered an issue where the ip link up command intermittently fails for the igbvf interfaces when using the PREEMPT_RT variant. Investigation revealed that e1000_write_posted_mbx returns an error due to the lack of an ACK from e1000_poll_for_ack. The underlying issue arises from the fact that IRQs are threaded by default under PREEMPT_RT. While the exact hardware details are not available, it appears that the IRQ handled by igb_msix_other must be processed before e1000_poll_for_ack times out. However, e1000_write_posted_mbx is called with preemption disabled, leading to a scenario where the IRQ is serviced only after the failure of e1000_write_posted_mbx. To resolve this, we set IRQF_NO_THREAD for the affected interrupt, ensuring that the kernel handles it immediately, thereby preventing the aforementioned error. Reproducer: #!/bin/bash # echo 2 > /sys/class/net/ens14f0/device/sriov_numvfs ipaddr_vlan=3 nic_test=ens14f0 vf=${nic_test}v0 while true; do ip link set ${nic_test} mtu 1500 ip link set ${vf} mtu 1500 ip link set $vf up ip link set ${nic_test} vf 0 vlan ${ipaddr_vlan} ip addr add 172.30.${ipaddr_vlan}.1/24 dev ${vf} ip addr add 2021:db8:${ipaddr_vlan}::1/64 dev ${vf} if ! ip link show $vf | grep 'state UP'; then echo 'Error found' break fi ip link set $vf down done Signed-off-by: Wander Lairson Costa <[email protected]> Fixes: 9d5c824 ("igb: PCI-Express 82575 Gigabit Ethernet driver") Reported-by: Yuying Ma <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Przemek Kitszel <[email protected]> Tested-by: Rafal Romanowski <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <[email protected]>
