Hello Jeff, I have ported Linux 2.6.34 for a 8xx based board using the m8xx_pcmcia.c driver in drivers/pcmcia/ with two slots and CONFIG_ATA, CONFIG_PATA_PCMCIA defined. All works fine, except with one CF card type, I get: rtc-pcf8563 0-0051: setting system clock to 2010-05-31 05:18:41 UTC (1275283121) pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 pcmcia 0.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 scsi0 : pata_pcmcia ata1: PATA max PIO4 cmd 0x0 ctl 0xe irq 25 ata1.00: CFA: TOSHIBA THNCF512MDG, 3.00, max MWDMA2 ata1.00: 1000944 sectors, multi 1: LBA ata1.00: configured for PIO4 ata1.00: configured for PIO4 ata1: EH complete isa bounce pool size: 16 pages scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA TOSHIBA THNCF512 3.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 1000944 512-byte logical blocks: (512 MB/488 MiB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1 pcmcia 1.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia1.0 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk scsi1 : pata_pcmcia ata2: PATA max PIO4 cmd 0x10 ctl 0x1e irq 26 irq 26: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Call Trace: [c0327c70] [c0006ac0] show_stack+0x44/0x16c (unreliable) [c0327cb0] [c004b7b4] __report_bad_irq+0x34/0xb8 [c0327cd0] [c004b9f0] note_interrupt+0x1b8/0x224 [c0327d00] [c004c9a8] handle_level_irq+0xa8/0x124 [c0327d10] [c0004de8] do_IRQ+0x98/0xb4 [c0327d30] [c000e788] ret_from_except+0x0/0x14 [c0327df0] [00009032] 0x9032 [c0327e30] [c0004b38] do_softirq+0x58/0x5c [c0327e40] [c0023d90] irq_exit+0x98/0x9c [c0327e50] [c0004dec] do_IRQ+0x9c/0xb4 [c0327e70] [c000e788] ret_from_except+0x0/0x14 [c0327f30] [c00440ac] tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick+0x404/0x4d0 [c0327f90] [c0007ac8] cpu_idle+0x50/0xe8 [c0327fb0] [c0002930] rest_init+0x5c/0x6c [c0327fc0] [c02f088c] start_kernel+0x240/0x2c4 [c0327ff0] [c000222c] start_here+0x4c/0xb0 handlers: [<c0193bc4>] (ata_sff_interrupt+0x0/0x208) Disabling IRQ #26 IP-Config: Complete: device=eth0, addr=192.168.120.4, mask=255.255.0.0, gw=192.168.1.254, host=kup4k, domain=, nis-domain=(none), bootserver=192.168.1.1, rootserver=192.168.1.1, rootpath= ata2.00: CFA: TOSHIBA THNCF032MBA, 2.00, max PIO2 ata2.00: 63488 sectors, multi 0: LBA ata2.00: configured for PIO2 ata2.00: configured for PIO2 ata2: EH complete scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA TOSHIBA THNCF032 2.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] 63488 512-byte logical blocks: (32.5 MB/31.0 MiB) sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sdb: sdb1 sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.1.1 [...] -bash-3.2# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 17: 0 CPM PIC Level error 18: 0 MPC8XX SIU Level tbint 19: 59 CPM PIC Level cpm_uart 21: 4 CPM PIC Level mpc8xxx_spi 22: 0 MPC8XX SIU Edge ads7846 23: 19950 MPC8XX SIU Level fs_enet-mac 24: 0 MPC8XX SIU Level m8xx-pcmcia 25: 9 MPC8XX SIU Level pata_pcmcia 26: 100000 MPC8XX SIU Level pata_pcmcia 27: 55 CPM PIC Level cpm_i2c LOC: 15403 Local timer interrupts SPU: 0 Spurious interrupts CNT: 0 Performance monitoring interrupts MCE: 0 Machine check exceptions -bash-3.2# I found out, that this card raise an irq when ata_dev_read_id() is called, and because ata_dev_read_id() sets the ATA_TFLAG_POLLING flag, the irq don;t get acked in ata_sff_interrupt() (So the irq comes endless (100000 times before it get disabled))
Sounds like that card doesn't obey the nIEN flag to disable the interrupt, at least not on the identify command. Ugh.. Maybe we should be acking the interrupt anyway if we get one on a polling command? Not sure if that risks breaking anything or not..
