本文探讨了在使用NVMe卡的ARM64平台上遇到的问题，即在驱动程序中偶尔会触发“nvme_timeout”。该问题涉及是否错过了中断。解释了“Did we miss an interrupt”意味着设备确实为超时命令发布了完成队列条目，但驱动程序认为从未通过中断通知检查完成队列。这可能是中断在完成队列条目写入前就已经触发，或者是中断从未触发。文章还提到了针对这种情况的补丁和代码改进。

"Did we miss an interrupt" mean?

Question:
We are testing NVMe cards on ARM64 platform, the card uses legacy interrupts.
Intermittently we are hitting following case in nvme_timeout of drivers/nvme/host/pci.c
/*
* Did we miss an interrupt?
*/
if (__nvme_poll(nvmeq, req->tag)) {
dev_warn(dev->ctrl.device,
"I/O %d QID %d timeout, completion polled\n",
req->tag, nvmeq->qid);
return BLK_EH_HANDLED;
}

Can anyone tell when does nvme_timeout gets invoked ?
