Our interrupt handler isn't being fired since we do set the IER bits properly (IIR bits aren't set). The overhead isn't because our driver is reacting to these interrupts, but because hardware keeps generating internal messages when PMINTRMSK doesn't mask out the up/down EI interrupts (which happen periodically).
Unfortunately, the default value of PMINTRMSK register is 0 instead of 0xFFFFFFFF as it is for other IMR, so we have to mask out the interrupts manually. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Vetter Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 13:47 To: Azad, Vinit Cc: intel-gfx Subject: Re: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Only unmask required PM interrupts On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 10:34 PM, Vinit Azad <[email protected]> wrote: > Un-masking all PM interrupts causes hardware to generate interrupts > regardless of whether the interrupts are enabled on the DE side.

Just to clarify since I can't really believe this yet: Even though we disable all other interrupt sources in PMIER and mask them in PMIMR hw still manages to fire off our interrupt handler? Do those interrupts end up setting PMIIR?
