That's msi-fix-the-ordering-of-msix-irqs.patch, which is also queued for
the next batch.


"next batch" == around 40 patches atm.  Some of these need maintainer acks
so they will be further delayed, or more likely just merged without the
appropriate ack.

Found what seems the problem with our vectors being listed backward.  In
drivers/pci/msi.c we should be using list_add_tail rather than list_add to
preserve the ordering across various kernels.  Please consider this for
inclusion.

What about the changes to fix the order that MSI-X irqs are returned
in (iirc, list_add had to be changed to list_add_tail in a couple of
places).  Without that change, multiple MSI-X interrupts seem to be
broken: the kernel programs the MSI-X table in the opposite order that
it gives the irq numbers to the driver.  The net effect is that if I
request, say, 3 MSI-X interrupts for a device, then when the device
generates the first interrupt, the driver thinks it generated the
third interrupt, and things go fairly haywire.

Well, it looks "Obviously Correct(tm)", since clearly the iounmap() should 
be done _after_ the last use. So I don't think it needs any more acking.

But tomorrow is fine..

Even without git, you can use the kernel.org gitweb install:


http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=e9ca75b53

(where the "h=" is the magic part - pick any commit SHA1 you want, 
including short-hand ones like the one I gave).

With git, you just do

git show e9ca75b53

to see a particular named commit.

> I submitted a fix that was blessed by Eric B. that fixed that Oops.

Ok, I don't think I have anything like that. The one I pointed to is the 
one by Gerald Britton, acked by you ..

But I now realize that that commit was already in -rc2. In fact, it's just 
before the -rc2 release. So while it claims to fix one oops on shutdown, 
it may be the _cause_ of the oops on mudule unload.

I apologize for the slow response. I also apologize that I don't know enough
about git to figure out what commit e9ca75b53 does. I submitted a fix that
was blessed by Eric B. that fixed that Oops.

Not a regression. Read the bug report:
Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur:

It's been happening for a long time (I'd say always).



There is a regression since 2.6.22-rc1 where the b44 driver has
receive performance/interrupt lockup issues.
