So that looks feasible as the culprit.
Looking at the 4xx MSI code, it just looks wrong:
static int ppc4xx_setup_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev, int nvec, int type)
{
...
list_for_each_entry(entry, &dev->msi_list, list) {
int_no = msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs(&msi_data->bitmap, 1);
if (int_no >= 0)
break;
That's backward, a *negative* return indicates an error.
if (int_no < 0) {
pr_debug("%s: fail allocating msi interrupt\n",
__func__);
}
This is the correct check, but it just prints a warning and then continues,
which is not going to work.
virq = irq_of_parse_and_map(msi_data->msi_dev, int_no);
This will fail if int_no is negative.
if (virq == NO_IRQ) {
dev_err(&dev->dev, "%s: fail mapping irq\n", __func__);
msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs(&msi_data->bitmap, int_no, 1);
And so here we can pass a negative int_no to the free routine, which then
oopses.
return -ENOSPC;
}
So the bug is in the 4xx MSI code, and has always been there, in fact I don't
see how that code has *ever* worked. The commit you bisected to just caused the
existing bug to cause an oops.
Can you try this?
