x86: fix broken irq migration logic while cleaning up multiple vectors
Impact: fix spurious IRQs During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches. This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(), other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled). When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler. This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors at the same time. [ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to the best of our knowledge it has never been seen. The stable maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ] Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: H.
