During machine kexec, the function machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() is responsible for disabling or masking all interrupts. While the irq_disable hook ensures that an already-disabled IRQ is not disabled again, the current implementation unconditionally invokes the irq_mask() function for every interrupt descriptor, even when the interrupt is already masked. A specific issue was observed in the crash kernel flow after unbinding a device (prior to kexec) that used a GPIO as an IRQ source. The warning was triggered by the gpiochip_disable_irq() function, which attempted to clear the FLAG_IRQ_IS_ENABLED flag when FLAG_USED_AS_IRQ was not set:
void gpiochip_disable_irq(struct gpio_chip *gc, unsigned int offset)
{
struct gpio_desc *desc = gpiochip_get_desc(gc, offset);
if (!IS_ERR(desc) &&
!WARN_ON(!test_bit(FLAG_USED_AS_IRQ, &desc->flags)))
clear_bit(FLAG_IRQ_IS_ENABLED, &desc->flags);
}
This issue surfaced after commit a8173820f441 ("gpio: gpiolib: Allow GPIO
IRQs to lazy disable") introduced lazy disablement for GPIO IRQs. It
replaced disable/enable hooks with mask/unmask hooks. Unlike the disable
hook, the mask hook doesn't handle already-masked IRQs.
When a GPIO-IRQ driver is unbound, the IRQ is released, triggering
__irq_disable() and irq_state_set_masked(). A subsequent call to
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() re-invokes chip->irq_mask(). This results
in a call chain, including gpiochip_irq_mask() and gpiochip_disable_irq().
Since FLAG_USED_AS_IRQ was cleared earlier, a warning occurs.
Replace calls to irq_mask() and irq_disable() hooks with a simplified call
to irq_shutdown(), and check if the interrupt is started (irqd_is_started)
before calling the shutdown.
