AFAIU I think the issues is only present in controllers that use the hwirq as MSI data and bitmap allocation that is not a power of two and that's what Marc suggested as fix. There is still some chasing to do to fix other MSI controllers in the kernel where this subtle issue went undetected (and the driver has the same bitmap allocation issues as this one). @Bharat, please test Marc's patch and post it on completion, I will rewrite your commit log because I want it to be clear so that we have a reference to the issue linked to the specs. Thanks, Lorenzo
