As this is using the regular suspend_device_irqs() call, you just might get away with setting IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND for your irq chip. That does not use the lazy disable approach, it also masks all interrupts which are not marked as wakeup irqs. I assume none of them is when you do that save/restore dance. That said, you still might make the whole mechanism cleaner by using the irq chip callbacks so you can avoid traversing all the interrupts another time. But I can't say for sure as I got lost in that xen event channel code. Thanks, tglx ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

The untested patch below should give you hooks to do what you need to do. Add the irq_suspend/resume callbacks and set the IRQCHIP_GENERIC_SUSPEND flag on your xen irqchip, so it actually gets invoked. I have to make that opt in right now because the callbacks are used in the generic irqchip implementation already. We can revisit that when you can confirm that this is actually solving the problem.

There is no exception for XEN. I'm absolutely on your side here. That was the reason I didn't send the patch right away, but asked how to solve my issue in a way which isn't "quick and dirty".

It is based on suspend/resume framework. The main work to be done additionally is to disconnect from the pv-backends at save time and connect to the pv-backends again at restore time. The main function triggering all that is xen_suspend() (as seen in above backtrace). Juergen ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

Not that I'm surprised, but that patch is exactly what I expected. Export a random function, which helps to paper over the real problem and run away. These functions are internal for a reason and we worked hard on making people understand that fiddling with the internals of interrupts is a NONO. If there are special requirements for a good reason, then we create proper interfaces and infrastructure, if there is no good reason, then the problematic code needs to be fixed. There is no exception for XEN. Can you please explain how that save/restore stuff works and which functions are involved?

The correct API to prevent an interrupt from firing would be disable_irq(), which is much more straightforward and is readily exported. I'm unsure of what the expected flow is though, so there might be some more fixes to be made in your code. Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead.

[Xen-devel] Problem with commit bf22ff45bed664aefb5c4e43029057a199b7070c
Commit bf22ff45bed664aefb5c4e43029057a199b7070c ("genirq: Avoid unnecessary low level irq function calls") breaks Xen guest save/restore handling. The main problem are the PV devices using Xen event channels as interrupt sources which are represented as an "irq chip" in the kernel. When saving the guest the event channels are masked internally. At restore time event channels are re-established and unmasked via irq_startup(). Unfortunately above commit will let the unmask operation be a nop as the irq handling doesn't know about the masking done before. I have a patch repairing the issue, but I'm not sure if this way to do it would be accepted. I have exported mask_irq() and I'm doing the masking now through this function. Would the attached patch be acceptable? Or is there a better way to solve the problem?
