Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/audio: use generic_handle_irq_safe() for LPE audio irq
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 23:45:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528154551.3708290-1-runyu.xiao@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
intel_lpe_audio_irq_handler() forwards the LPE audio child IRQ from the
i915 parent IRQ path with generic_handle_irq(). The forwarded child top
half is not an independent hardirq entry point; it inherits the context
of the outer i915 interrupt dispatch path.
This becomes a problem when the parent IRQ runs in threaded context, for
example on PREEMPT_RT or other forced-threading configurations. i915
requests the parent IRQ with IRQF_SHARED and without IRQF_NO_THREAD, so
the forwarded child handler can run with local IRQs enabled. That
violates the expected top-half execution semantics and can trigger an
"enabled interrupts" WARN.
The issue was identified on Linux v6.18.21 by our static analysis tool
and then manually reviewed on the i915 child-IRQ forwarding sites after
commit 8cadce97bf26 ("drm/i915/gsc: mei interrupt top half should be in
irq disabled context") fixed the same helper contract for the GSC path.
It was then validated with a reproducible QEMU no-device parent/child
IRQ harness that registers a threaded parent IRQ and a child IRQ
handler, then exercises both generic_handle_irq() and
generic_handle_irq_safe() under the same threaded parent context. In the
plain-helper phase, the child handler ran with irqs_disabled=0 and
triggered an "enabled interrupts" WARN. In the safe-helper phase, the
same child handler ran with irqs_disabled=1. This is family-level
runtime evidence for the same IRQ forwarding misuse pattern. No
Baytrail/Cherrytrail hardware was available to run the real i915 LPE
path end-to-end.
Use generic_handle_irq_safe() here so the forwarded LPE audio child IRQ
runs with local IRQs disabled even when the outer i915 dispatch path is
threaded.
