Re: Tegra PCIe system hangs

[Lucas Stach <dev@lynxeye.de>]

Ok, turn out this seems to be an issue with legacy PCI interrupts.
Nouveau wasn't really using MSI interrupts, switching them on seems to
fix the stability issue.

Still I would be interested in the root cause and would like to see this
documented somewhere.

Thanks,
Lucas
