Subject: [PATCH 10/11][TG3]: Reduce spurious interrupts.
Date: Fri, 04 May 2007 17:55:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1178326521.4859.26.camel@dell> (raw)
[TG3]: Reduce spurious interrupts.
Spurious interrupts are often encountered especially on systems
using the 8259 PIC mode. This is because the I/O write to deassert
the interrupt is posted and won't get to the chip immediately. As
a result, the IRQ may remain asserted after the IRQ handler exits,
causing spurious interrupts.
An unconditional read to flush the I/O write to force the IRQ to de-
assert immediately is not desirable because it impacts performance in
the fast path. So we only do this after we have some indications of
spurious interrupts.
