Hi,
I get the following errors when booting Linux from an ADATA XPG SX8200 NVMe on a RockPro64.
[ 3.705205] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: unexpected IRQ, INT0 [ 3.705226] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: unexpected IRQ, INT0 [ 3.705247] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: unexpected IRQ, INT0 [ 3.705331] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: unexpected IRQ, INT0 [ 3.705352] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: unexpected IRQ, INT0 [ 3.705373] rockchip-pcie f8000000.pcie: unexpected IRQ, INT0
At which point boot hangs. Has anybody come across these errors when using NVMe?
Using an alternate device (sd card) to load the kernel / initrd doesn't cause the issue and the drive works fine when used as a root device in Linux subsequently.
On digging further, I found that uboot exits with the NVME interrupt line (PCI legacy interrupt) active when making any access to the device. Even just running "nvme scan" leads to the active interrupt line.
After sprinkling some prints in the uboot NVMe driver, it seems that the interrupt goes active right at the beginning of setting up the IO queues (nvme_setup_io_queues). This is also the first time the admin queue is used; when issuing the command to setup the number of queues (NVME_FEAT_NUM_QUEUES). For some reason, updating the CQ head doorbell doesn't clear the interrupt.
The active interrupt doesn't bother uboot as it ignores the device interrupt but causes an issue latter when linux boots.
Has anybody faced similar issues with NVMe and uboot? Any idea on how to stop the interrupt line from triggering? Or de-activating it on exit?
Let me know if there's anything I can provide to help debug the problem. Also, happy to try any patches or suggestions.
Thanks, Punit
