patch 'net/ixgbe: do not create delayed interrupt handler twice' has been queued to stable release 22.11.6

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/27/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/b2e98edd71e3695d23c9f83840246099fb23f28d

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: do not create delayed interrupt handler twice

[ upstream commit 130ece79670d57760acd18c9671f91a4cd4e07a0 ]

Since link state may need some time to stabilize after a link state
change, we cannot update the link state right after one occurs. So link
state change interrupts (LSC) are handled after a delay. To do this, an
alarm to call a delayed handler is programmed. This delayed handler is
tasked with updating the link after a variable delay of one to four
seconds which should be enough time for the link state to become stable
again.

However, a problem can occur with some models of network cards. For
example, ixgbe_mac_X550EM_x may trigger this interrupt twice because
another interrupt signal is received on the General Purpose Interrupt
pin SPD0, which has the same interrupt handler. In such a case, the
delayed interrupt handler would be programmed to be executed twice.

Since we save the original interrupt mask value to restore it after the
delayed handler is done with its work, we end up overwriting its value
after the second alarm is programmed. Even worse: when restoring it the
first time, the saved original mask variable is reset to 0, so we end up
completely disabling all interrupts when trying to restore this mask
after the second time the delayed handler is executed.

Add a check on the interrupt mask value when programming the alarm for
the delayed handler. If the bit for LSC interrupts is unset, it means an
alarm was already programmed for the delayed handler. In this case, skip
the alarm creation.
