Subject: [PATCH] bug w/ shared interrupts
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 14:29:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1082989740.15656.20.camel@localhost> (raw)
I just ran into a bug introduced by cset 1.1371.519.37. The scenario
is a builtin driver is up and running happily. A module loads for a
devices that happens to share the same interrupt vector, in this case a
network driver. The module calls pci_enable_device() as it should,
which eventually lands in iosapic_enable_intr(). We then proceed to
mask the interrupt and kill the device that's already running. As a
bonus, request_interrupt() doesn't fix the problem because we only call
the startup for the interrupt handler on the first action attached to
the interrupt.
I think the best way out of this is simply to detect when an action
is already attached to a vector and leave it alone. This also prevents
interrupts from moving to other cpus (on boxes w/o irq redirection) for
no good reason. Thanks,
Alex
