Thanks for looking into this. It does look like I inverted the ordering of that mailbox write vs the handling of the IPI. I don't see how the IPI could mess with the mailbox (unless some creative use of irq_work / smp_call), but in any case having the write in irq_ack() as you've done below should restore said ordering. > Thanks, > > M. > > diff --git a/drivers/irqchip/irq-bcm2836.c > b/drivers/irqchip/irq-bcm2836.c > index 5f5eb8877c41..25c9a9c06e41 100644 > --- a/drivers/irqchip/irq-bcm2836.c > +++ b/drivers/irqchip/irq-bcm2836.c > @@ -167,7 +167,7 @@ static void bcm2836_arm_irqchip_handle_ipi(struct > irq_desc *desc) > chained_irq_exit(chip, desc); > } > > -static void bcm2836_arm_irqchip_ipi_eoi(struct irq_data *d) > +static void bcm2836_arm_irqchip_ipi_ack(struct irq_data *d) > { > int cpu = smp_processor_id(); > > @@ -195,7 +195,7 @@ static struct irq_chip bcm2836_arm_irqchip_ipi = { > .name = "IPI", > .irq_mask = bcm2836_arm_irqchip_dummy_op, > .irq_unmask = bcm2836_arm_irqchip_dummy_op, > - .irq_eoi = bcm2836_arm_irqchip_ipi_eoi, > + .irq_ack = bcm2836_arm_irqchip_ipi_ack, > .ipi_send_mask = bcm2836_arm_irqchip_ipi_send_mask, > };
