when the MSI receiving CPU goes offline. The workaround in this patch only addresses the problem of CPU going offline. When that happens, the driver's timer function will detect that it is making no forward progress on pending interrupt events and will recover from it. Eric Dumazet reported the problem. We also found that if an interrupt is internally asserted while MSI and INTA are disabled, the chip will end up in the same state after MSI is re-enabled. The same workaround is needed for this problem. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Tested-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller …ħ›†–Fx
