The interrupt is usually level triggered so it continues to create interrupts until you silence it. The thresholds are about 10,000 interrupt events and on newer kernels we also reset the count if we don't see any for a while. That works for most stuff except the thinkpad bluetooth problem. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
