I've encountered the interrupt handle loop when using Jaguar VSC7448 chip with MAX3421, configured in level interrupt mode (default mode for MAX3421). Upon connecting thumb drive to MAX3421, the system would hang. After some investigation, I've traced the problem to the GPIO interrupt controller code: by the time ocelot_irq_handler() is executed, MAX3421 would clear its interrupt, subsequently lowering bit in GPIO controller interrupt identify register. Because of this, chained_irq_enter() would never be executed, and the parent interrupt would never be cleared, resulting in a continuous interrupt handling loop. This could be fixed by clearing parent interrupt unconditionally, even when no bits are set in interrupt identify registers.
