Since 2f2940d16823 ("genirq/msi: Remove filter from msi_free_descs_free_range()"), the core MSI code relies on the msi_desc->irq field to have been cleared before the descriptor can be freed, as it indicates that there is no association with a device anymore. The irq domain code provides this guarantee, and so does s390, which is one of the two architectures not using irq domains for MSIs. Powerpc, however, is missing this particular requirements, leading in a splat and leaked MSI descriptors. Adding the now required irq reset to the handful of powerpc backends that implement MSIs fixes that particular problem.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
