Pull MSI updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the [PCI] MSI subsystem:
- Add interrupt redirection infrastructure
Some PCI controllers use a single demultiplexing interrupt for the
MSI interrupts of subordinate devices.
This prevents setting the interrupt affinity of device interrupts,
which causes device interrupts to be delivered to a single CPU.
That obviously is counterproductive for multi-queue devices and
interrupt balancing.
To work around this limitation the new infrastructure installs a
dummy irq_set_affinity() callback which captures the affinity mask
and picks a redirection target CPU out of the mask.
When the PCI controller demultiplexes the interrupts it invokes a
new handling function in the core, which either runs the interrupt
handler in the context of the target CPU or delegates it to
irq_work on the target CPU.
- Utilize the interrupt redirection mechanism in the PCI DWC host
controller driver.
This allows affinity control for the subordinate device MSI
interrupts instead of being randomly executed on the CPU which runs
the demultiplex handler.
- Replace the binary 64-bit MSI flag with a DMA mask
Some PCI devices have PCI_MSI_FLAGS_64BIT in the MSI capability,
but implement less than 64 address bits. This breaks on platforms
where such a device is assigned an MSI address higher than what's
supported.
With the binary 64-bit flag there is no other choice than disabling
64-bit MSI support which leaves the device disfunctional.
By using a DMA mask the address limit of a device can be described
correctly which provides support for the above scenario.
- Make use of the DMA mask based address limit in the hda/intel and
radeon drivers to enable them on affected platforms
- The usual small cleanups and improvements"
