[PATCH 1/1] ahci: Do not receive interrupts sent by dummy ports

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In multiple MSI mode all AHCI ports (including dummy) get
assigned separate MSI vectors and (as result of execution
pci_enable_msi_exact() function) separate IRQ numbers,
(mapped to the MSI vectors).

Therefore, although interrupts from dummy ports are not
desired they are still enabled. We do not request IRQs
for dummy ports, but that only means we do not assign
AHCI-specific ISRs to corresponding IRQ numbers.

As result, dummy port interrupts still could come and
traverse all the way from the PCI device to the kernel,
causing unnecessary overhead.

This update disables IRQs for dummy ports and prevents
the described issue.
