2.6.19-rc1: forcedeth, nobody cared

[Prakash Punnoor]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1036 bytes --]

Hi,

subjects say it all. Without irqpoll my nic doesn't work anymore. I added Ingo 
to cc, as my IRQs look different, so it may be a prob of APIC routing or the 
like.

The kernel is patched with reiser4 and acpi_skip_timer_override quirk is 
deactivated (see last link why).

I tried different combinations (dmesg + .config). Differences are mostly pci 
mt init, irqpoll, nforce eth napi, pata/ide amd driver. Last is current 
(working, but with irqpoll)

BTW, it also happens w/o nvidia binary loaded.

It might be something local to your system, Prakash, its working normally 
here, with no unusual messages in /var/log/dmesg.  But I'm an ati user, 
in-kernel radeon driver too.

Can you try booting with pci=nomsi ? I have a similar problem with my sound
device:

I used snd-hda-intel.disable_msi=1 and this actually helped! Now the nforce 
nic works w/o problems. So it was the audio driver causing havoc on the nic. 
But (I noticed this with the kernel booted with irqpoll, as well) IRQ 
balancing seems not to work anymore:

Unless someone finds and fixes what causes such problems, I'd therefore 
suggest the patch below to let MSI support to be turned off by default.

<--  snip  -->


As reported in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/7/164, MSI support in 
snd-hda-intel seems to break some previously working setups.

MSI works with my sound, ethernet, and SATA:

 66:    1131814          0         PCI-MSI  libata
 98:      89556          0         PCI-MSI  HDA Intel
106:     943530          0         PCI-MSI  eth0

so maybe this should be done for nforce chipsets or
whatever is seeing the problem?

It shouldn't be that hard to write a small bit of code to force an interrupt
and catch it, that's what other drivers do to workaround the BIOS braindamage
that seems to be rampant (until M$ Vista comes out and supports MSI).

What about putting MCP51 to the msi quirk list?

I agree that this is pretty much depending on the hardware, so
disabling all might be exaggerated.
The sound with MSI works on all of my test machines with Intel
chipset, so far.

Could it perhaps be that the forcedeth driver isn't MSI aware and this causes 
breakage?

OK, what about a patch like below?

It's against the latest ALSA tree, so please pull alsa.git from
	git://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perex/alsa.git
before applying it (this tree includes only patches to be pushed to
2.6.19).

Don't you need to check return value from pci_enable_msi()?

not successful.  But it's not a fatal error, so the current code
should work.

I tried it and it works fine for me now (with the driver not using msi

Thanks for checking.  I applied the patch to ALSA tree for the next
push round.

It does not solve my problem. I still need to boot with pci=nomsi option.

Prakash: did you use Takashi's patch or Andrian's patch?

I used Takashi's revised patch, but rc3 works w/o patching:

dvanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.13 (Sun Oct 22 08:56:16 
2006 UTC).
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [AAZA] enabled at IRQ 23
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:10.1[B] -> Link [AAZA] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> 
IRQ 23
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:10.1 to 64
input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input1
hda_intel: No response from codec, disabling MSI...
ALSA device list:
  #0: HDA NVidia at 0xfe028000 irq 316

And it disables MSI automatically.
