per our investigate:
the msi interrupt could be latch  in device function temporary(pci_msi_mask_irq), but it is not able to disable interrupt generating from device, these pending interrupts will arrive after pci_msi_unmask_irq.. 

this is expected , as implied by the spec “While a vector is masked, the function is prohibited from sending the associated message, and the function must set the associated Pending bit whenever the function would otherwise send the message. When software unmasks a vector whose associated Pending bit is set, the function must schedule sending the associated message, and clear the Pending bit as soon as the message has been sent.”

Apart from these two API, the only way we can find is pci_disable_msi/msix, obviously not suitable..(quite strange, there is no lightweight host API for disable MSI interrupt,, maybe something related with MSI spec..)

And from device side, in current design, there is no similar “Host Interrupt Status Mask” registers/logics to prevent PCIe MSI logic to latch the interrupt request it received.
