** Description changed: In all kernels since 2.6.39, the "irqfixup" and "irqpoll" options are no longer taking effect. I have several machines that need to boot with one of these options, and I see reports of this regression from multiple other users. - The interrupts generate the same errors seen without these kernel + The interrupts now generate the same errors seen without these kernel options, e.g.: irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) even though irqpoll, or irqfixup, is used. I don't know whether these options fail in all cases, or if some unknown hardware configurations are out there continuing to work. The Linux irq code was reworked during the 2.6.39 cycle. I have gone through the patches, and this is the commit where the regression arrives: + commit d05c65fff0ef672be75429266751f0e015b54d94 + genirq: spurious: Run only one poller at a time - author Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> - Mon, 7 Feb 2011 13:31:37 +0000 (14:31 +0100) - committer Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> - Sat, 19 Feb 2011 11:58:09 +0000 (12:58 +0100) + No point in running concurrent pollers which confuse each other by + setting PENDING. - commit d05c65fff0ef672be75429266751f0e015b54d94 - - No point in running concurrent pollers which confuse each other by - setting PENDING." + author Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> + Mon, 7 Feb 2011 13:31:37 +0000 (14:31 +0100) + committer Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> + Sat, 19 Feb 2011 11:58:09 +0000 (12:58 +0100) http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=d05c65fff0ef672be75429266751f0e015b54d94 - I emailed Mr. Gleixner (who is the subsystem maintainer) and LKML, but + I emailed LKML and Mr. Gleixner, who is the subsystem maintainer, but got no response to date. (And the kernel bugzilla is still down.) I had not isolated this single patch, out of the pile, then. I'm trying to look the patch over, to improve my case, before my next try at getting maintainer attention.
