The option seems to be disabled in some distro-shipped kernels (such as f26, iirc), so not everyone runs into it either, which made it seem distro-specific. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] [qubes-devel] Re: Request for feedback: 4.9 Kernel
fyi: Ryzen pinctrl/gpio issue should be fixed in 4.11.9; not yet backported to 4.9: commit 0ec03ce7d79dc9a5c47d26bab38c78075d42de9c Author: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue May 23 23:23:32 2017 +0200 pinctrl/amd: Use regular interrupt instead of chained commit ba714a9c1dea85e0bf2899d02dfeb9c70040427c upstream. The AMD pinctrl driver uses a chained interrupt to demultiplex the GPIO interrupts. Kevin Vandeventer reported, that his new AMD Ryzen locks up hard on boot when the AMD pinctrl driver is initialized. The reason is an interrupt storm. It's not clear whether that's caused by hardware or firmware or both. Using chained interrupts on X86 is a dangerous endavour. If a system is misconfigured or the hardware buggy there is no safety net to catch an interrupt storm. Convert the driver to use a regular interrupt for the demultiplex handler. This allows the interrupt storm detector to catch the malfunction and lets the system boot up. This should be backported to stable because it's likely that more users run into this problem as the AMD Ryzen machines are spreading.
