Can you justify the need for this? If we actually need to disable
interrupts, then I'd like to understand why so that we can make sure we
get the ordering right with respect to disabling the device. Also, do we
need to clear the MSI registers too?

My understanding is that kexec will mask irqs at the GIC, so there's not
actually an issue here.

I have no justification. Based on the number of drivers that take care
to prevent their HW from generating an interrupt, I thought it would be
required, but I can't find any such requirement explicitly laid out in
the documentation.

When you mention the MSI registers do you mean, for instance,
SMMU_GERROR_IRQ_CFG0? It looks like those are always cleared while
initializing the SMMU so the case where an SMMU transitions from using
MSIs to using wired interrupts between kernels will be handled properly.

Sure, but if it's only the re-init path you're concerned about, then I
don't think we have a problem for wired interrupts either. They're masked
at the GIC until we do request_irq, and our handler can tolerate a spurious
IRQ anyway.

I assumed the race you were trying to close was an IRQ firing after we've
disabled the device, but actually, I think the GIC is the right place to
handle that too because propagation delay can cause late IRQs anyway.

So unless there's a case I'm missing, let's not confuse the code by
disabling IRQs for the sake of it.

Sure, but if it's only the re-init path you're concerned about, then I
don't think we have a problem for wired interrupts either. They're masked
at the GIC until we do request_irq, and our handler can tolerate a spurious
IRQ anyway.

I assumed the race you were trying to close was an IRQ firing after we've
disabled the device, but actually, I think the GIC is the right place to
handle that too because propagation delay can cause late IRQs anyway.

So unless there's a case I'm missing, let's not confuse the code by
disabling IRQs for the sake of it.
