dmaengine: idxd: remove MSIX masking for interrupt handlers
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.13 commit a1610461 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I596WO CVE: NA Intel-SIG: commit a1610461 dmaengine: idxd: remove MSIX masking for interrupt handlers. Incremental backporting patches for DSA/IAA on Intel Xeon platform. -------------------------------- Remove interrupt masking and just let the hard irq handler keep firing for new events. This is less of a performance impact vs the MMIO readback inside the pci_msi_{mask,unmas}_irq(). Especially with a loaded system those flushes can be stuck behind large amounts of MMIO writes to flush. When guest kernel is running on top of VFIO mdev, mask/unmask causes a vmexit each time and is not desirable. Suggested-by:Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by:
