I've got some bad news.
I've rewritten (parts of) my driver to operate in native Linux (i.e. no
RTDM, no Xenomai). When I run this in a Xenomai-augmented kernel (with
Adeos, evidently), the machine hangs. However, when the same code is run
in the same but unmodified kernel, the code works as expected. Therefore
it seems that Adeos is to blame here.
Yes, as usual with MSI support, unfortunately.
Now, I could try to write a small driver program illustrating the
problem. Of course, it is impossible for you to test on my board. Maybe
we could agree on an MSI capable piece of hardware, that I could write
the code for ?
The problem is that I need to put my hands on a new set of MSI capable hw first
and divert it for debugging Adeos. The box I've used to fix the first round of MSI
issues a few months ago does not exhibit such issues anymore, so I can't reproduce
the problem here yet. The only good news for now, is that I won't give up on
fixing all of the MSI issues in Adeos.
The reason I would very much like to test this setup is that I look upon
MSI as a very viable alternative to these ever-damned interrupt sharing
mechanisms. It is becoming more and more difficult to find computers
that allow you to reserve (a few) IRQ-lines these days (especially
notebooks and OEM desktops). Additionally, MSI is capable of bypassing
the IO-APIC entirely (although the Linux kernel needs that APIC support
to enable MSI - I've still got to find out why that is).
