Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Fix regression in powerpc MSI-X
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 10:04:09 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200911051004.09233.adetsch@br.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1257399811.13611.94.camel@pasglop>
Patch f598282f5145036312d90875d0ed5c14b49fd8a7 exposed a problem in
powerpc MSI-X functionality, making network interfaces such as ixgbe
and cxgb3 stop to work when MSI-X is enabled. RX interrupts were not
being generated.
The problem was caused because MSI irq was not being effectively
unmasked after device initialization.
