drm/i915: stop using GMBUS IRQs on Gen4 chips
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 28c70f1 ("drm/i915: use the gmbus irq for waits") switched to
using GMBUS irqs instead of GPIO bit-banging for chipset generations 4
and above.

It turns out though that on many systems this leads to spurious interrupts
being generated, long after the register write to disable the IRQs has been
issued.

Typically this results in the spurious interrupt source getting
disabled:

[    9.640731] Disabling IRQ #16

The really curious thing is now that irq 16 is _not_ the interrupt for
the i915 driver when using MSI, but it _is_ the interrupt when not
using MSI. So by all indications it seems like gmbus is able to
generate a legacy (shared) interrupt in MSI mode on some
configurations. I've tried to reproduce this and the differentiating
thing seems to be that on unaffected systems no other device uses irq
16 (which seems to be the non-MSI intel gfx interrupt on all gm45).

I have no idea how that even can happen.

To avoid tempting this elephant into a rage, just disable gmbus
interrupt support on gen 4.

v2: Improve the commit message with exact details of what's going on.
Also add a comment in the code to warn against this particular
elephant in the room.

v3: Move the comment explaing how gen4 blows up next to the definition
of HAS_GMBUS_IRQ to keep the code-flow straight. Suggested by Chris
Wilson.
