Can't we just set DisINTx, clear MSI Enable and clear MSI-X Enable
on all active PCI devices in the crashing kernel before starting the
crash kernel? So that the crash kernel starts with a clean slate?
Guilherme's original patches from 2018 iterate over all 256 PCI buses.
That might impact boot time negatively. The reason he has to do that
is because the crashing kernel doesn't know which devices exist and
which have interrupts enabled. However the crashing kernel has that
information. It should either disable interrupts itself or pass the
necessary information to the crashing kernel as setup_data or whatever.
Guilherme's patches add a "clearmsi" command line parameter. I guess
the idea is that the parameter is always passed to the crash kernel
but the patches don't do that, which seems odd.
Thanks,
Lukas
