Ok, I've merged this patch. But some further investigation points at a
much more severe dragon hiding here: The MSI interrupt for the intel
gfx is commonly in the 40+ range, but the interrupt vector with the
spurious interrupts is 16. Which is the irq of the intel gfx when MSI
is disabled!

So it looks like gmbus on the intel gfx is capable of generating
non-MSI interrupts in parallel to the MSI interrupts (since apparently
gmbus still works, so we get the interrupts we expect). I have no idea
how that could happen. Hence adding a bunch of people with more clue
than me.

For reference below the updated commit message.

    drm/i915: stop using GMBUS IRQs on Gen4 chips

    Commit 28c70f162 ("drm/i915: use the gmbus irq for waits") switched to
    using GMBUS irqs instead of GPIO bit-banging for chipset generations 4
    and above.

    It turns out though that on many systems this leads to spurious interrupts
    being generated, long after the register write to disable the IRQs has been
    issued.

    Typically this results in the spurious interrupt source getting
    disabled:

    [    9.636345] irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

    [    9.640731] Disabling IRQ #16

    The really curious thing is now that irq 16 is _not_ the interrupt for
    the i915 driver when using MSI, but it _is_ the interrupt when not
    using MSI. So by all indications it seems like gmbus is able to
    generate a legacy (shared) interrupt in MSI mode on some
    configurations. I've tried to reproduce this and the differentiating
    thing seems to be that on unaffected systems no other device uses irq
    16 (which seems to be the non-MSI intel gfx interrupt on all gm45).

    I have no idea how that even can happen.

    To avoid tempting this elephant into a rage, just disable gmbus
    interrupt support on gen 4.

    v2: Improve the commit message with exact details of what's going on.
    Also add a comment in the code to warn against this particular
    elephant in the room.

That might be misleading.  It's possible that the erroneous IRQs _are_
being issued but you're simply not aware of them.  If the kernel thinks
that no device is using IRQ 16 then it will leave that IRQ disabled.

I guess I should have phrased it more precisely, but that's exactly
what I expect is happening on my machine: I don't have anything on
irq16 (i.e. in non-msi mode the gfx interrupt isn't shared) and hence
the irq is completely disabled. Which obviously makes it impossible
for me to reproduce the issue. To test that theory, is there a quick
way to force-enable a given interrupt, short of just hacking up a 2nd
dummy irq handler in my driver?

I don't know of any way.  In fact, I have been thinking of writing a 
test driver module, with a module parameter telling it which IRQ number 
to register for.  It seems like the sort of thing that would be useful 
to have, from time to time.

You may try to add another request_irq()
after i915_load_modeset_init==>drm_irq_install.
That could install one dummy action for ioapic irq for i915.

Also you may need to add one quirk that does not disable intx during
msi enabling like:
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_FINAL(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL,
                        0x2e22,
                        quirk_msi_intx_disable_bug);

Ok, so how about this?
Daniel, is it enough to make the problem appear on your system (by 
building this into the kernel and booting with dummy-irq.irq=16)?

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] dummy-irq: introduce a dummy IRQ handler driver

This module accepts a single 'irq' parameter, which it should register for.

Its sole purpose is to help with debugging of IRQ sharing problems, by
force-enabling IRQ that would otherwise be disabled.

This is just what I was thinking of.  Three extremely minor

You probably should put a severity level here.  KERN_INFO?

module_param is good enough when the parameter's name is the same as

This seemed to be really promising idea to me, as the DisINTx+ vs INTx+ 
discrepancy is very good hint, but unfortunately, after applying this:

Yes, I'll take it, give me a few days to catch up with my pending queue,

Indeed, this is pretty useful and allowed me to quickly reproduce that
phantom irq on my gm45. Thanks to module reloading we can even reset the
kernel's irq disabling logic and so test different tricks quickly without
rebooting. Really useful.

Hello folks,

I am using Linus git master and built an rpm for 3.9.0-rc4 which has Jiri's 
patch. I confirm this patch returns the GMA 4500 to working behavior as in 
3.8.

Thanks everyone.

Daniel,

out of curiosity, have you been able to make some sense of the phantom 
legacy IRQs on GM45 systems, or are we just staying with my original 
bandaid (disabling GMBUS IRQs), declaring GM45 broken in this respect?

I've played around with dummy-irq on my own gm45 and afaict every
gmbus interrupt generates both an msi and a legacy pci interrupt when
msi is enabled. Everything else (= other interrupt sources) seems to
work as expected, and disabling msi also papers over the issue.
There's also scary comments in our gm45 irq handler that we need msi
to paper over some other races.

So I've decided that I don't want to dwell any longer in this
particular dungeon and that your bandaid (of just disabling this mess)
is the real fix.

Thanks, Daniel
