For simplicity we assume that msix has 2 IRQ lines one used for rx data called msix_non_share, and another used for one bit flags messages (alive, hw error, sw error, rx data flag) called msix_share. Every time the FW has data to send it puts it on the RX queue and HW turns on the flags in msix_share (inta_fw) indicating about rx data, and HW sends an interrupt a bit later to the msix_non_share _unless_ the msix_shared RX data bit was cleared. Currently in the code every time we get an msix_shared we clear all bits including rx data queue bits. So we can have a race ---------------------------------------------------- DRIVER | HW | FW ---------------------------------------------------- - send host cmd to FW | | | | - handle message | | and put a response | | on the RX queue | - RX flag on | | | - send alive msix | - alive flag on | | - interrupt | | msix_share driver | - handle msix_shared | | and clear all flags | | bits | | | - don't send an | | interrupt on | | msix_non_shared | | (driver cleared) | - driver timeout on | | waiting for host cmd | | respond | | | | ---------------------------------------------------- The change is to clear only the msi_shared flags that are handled in the msix_shared flow, which will cause the hardware to send an interrupt on the msix_non_share line as well, when it has data.
