rmmod PCIe AVMM DMA demo‘s driver cause system crash

Hi,

Could you help me with this driver issue?

We use PCIe AVMM DMA reference design and its driver on A10 card. system is centos7.8, operation core is 3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64.

The reference design and its driver are provided by Intel, as attached file. 

I change this ref-design's pin location to this A10 Card, PCIe is Gen3 x8.

The driver can be installed and write/read operation are fine. But when we want to unload the driver, system crashed. Currently we can get the log, as attached file too.

The crash only happens on this driver, we tried to rmmod other driver, it is ok.

Could you help to give some advises? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

it seems a free_irq(line863) in altera_dma.c cause this issue? Could you help to check if we are correct? and how to revise it?

Thanks

Hello Sir,


May I know why you want to unload the driver? For normal applications, we usually do not need to rmmod it.

I am sorry to say that the driver in the reference design is provided an as-is basis and Intel can't support this but I can give some suggestions. It looks like the crash is due to the host suddenly cannot detect the PCIe after you rmmod the driver. May you can try to mask the AER (error reporting) from the host side.

Hi 

We want to use rmmod fuction for future system debug usage.

We capture the AER after insmod, which is as attached. After rmmod, the system crashed, we can't operate it.

Very appreciate for your supports!

Thanks!
