PATCH 1/1 ioapic: when switches to level trigger mode, interrupts raised repeatedly.

- the trigger mode is edge at first
- During initializatoin, the interrupt is raised as edge which is masked. The corresponding bit of irr is set.
- Then the mode is switched to level and it's unmasked.
- the bit of irr is set, so the interrupt is raised repeatedly by ioapic_service().
- OS considers that the irq line is broken and falls back to polling mode.

This patch fixes the issues.
After raising edige, clear the bit of irr.

Subject: [PATCH 01/30] ioapic: when switches to level trigger mode, interrupts raised repeatedly.

- the trigger mode is edge at first by reset.
- During initializatoin, the interrupt is raised as edge which is masked. The corresponding bit of irr is set.
- Then the mode is switched to level and it's unmasked with the same write.
- the bit of irr is set, so the interrupt is raised repeatedly by ioapic_service().
- OS considers that the irq line is broken and falls back to polling mode.

This patch fixes the issues.
When unmasking the pending interrupt and changing the interrupt mode from edge to level, raise the edge interrupt first and then change the interrupt mode. Thus the pending edge interrupt is raised as edge.

- the trigger mode is edge at first by reset.
- During initializatoin, the interrupt is raised as edge which is masked. The corresponding bit of irr is set.

...and that is the actual problem. The spec says: "Interrupt Mask—R/W. When this bit is 1, the interrupt signal is masked. Edge-sensitive interrupts signaled on a masked interrupt pin are ignored (i.e., not delivered or held pending)."

So this should do the trick in a correct way (untested, please validate):

Thank you for applying. But I found that the patch is wrong and I'm preparing the new one. Can you please revert it?

Here is the corrected patch. The first wrong patch clears the interrupts bit unconditionally. Which caused losing interrupt.

Subject: [PATCH 01/30] ioapic: when switches to level trigger mode, interrupts raised repeatedly.

Quoted 3 lines

- the trigger mode is edge at first by reset.
- During initializatoin, the interrupt is raised as edge which is masked. The corresponding bit of irr is set.

Quoted 7 lines

...and that is the actual problem. The spec says: "Interrupt Mask?R/W. When this bit is 1, the interrupt signal is masked. Edge-sensitive interrupts signaled on a masked interrupt pin are ignored (i.e., not delivered or held pending)."

So this should do the trick in a correct way (untested, please validate):

Thank you for referring the spec. It works.

Subject: [PATCH] ioapic: when switches to level trigger mode, interrupts raised repeatedly.

- the trigger mode is edge at first by reset.
- During initializatoin, the interrupt is raised as edge which is masked. The corresponding bit of irr is set.
the bit must not be set when masked
- Then the mode is switched to level and it's unmasked with the same write.
- the bit of irr is set, so the interrupt is raised repeatedly by ioapic_service().
- OS considers that the irq line is broken and falls back to polling mode.

So far we set IRR for edge IRQs even if the pin is masked. If the guest later on unmasks and switches the pin to level-triggered mode, irr will remain set, causing an IRQ storm. The point is that setting IRR is not correct in this case according to the spec, and avoiding this resolves the issue.

On first glance, it looks like KVM's in-kernel IOAPIC model is affected by the same issue. As you have the test case at hand, could you run it against qemu-kvm which stresses the kernel version?

On second glance, it should be fine as it clears irr unconditionally on the falling edge. Both approaches look valid to me as irr is just an internal state.

Unfortunately I don't have kvm test case yet because I found this issue when trying to change IOAPIC irq routing.
