Hi,

has anyone an idea how the SMP problems could be fixed?

You could turn on Mantis Kernel module's debug messages.
It could tell you the emitted interrupts.

One risky thing with the Interrupt handler code is that
MANTIS_GPIF_STATUS is cleared, even though IRQ0 isn't active yet.
This could lead to a rare starvation of the wait queue you described.
I supplied a patch below. Does it help?

I did some further investigation. When comparing the number of interrupts with all cores enabled and the interrupts with only one core enabled it seems like only the IRQ0 changed, the other IRQs and the total number stays quite the same:

4 Cores:
All IRQ/sec: 493
Masked IRQ/sec: 400
Unknown IRQ/sec: 0
DMA/sec: 400
IRQ-0/sec: 143
IRQ-1/sec: 0
OCERR/sec: 0
PABRT/sec: 0
RIPRR/sec: 0
PPERR/sec: 0
FTRGT/sec: 0
RISCI/sec: 258
RACK/sec: 0

1 Core:
All IRQ/sec: 518
Masked IRQ/sec: 504
Unknown IRQ/sec: 0
DMA/sec: 504
IRQ-0/sec: 246
IRQ-1/sec: 0
OCERR/sec: 0
PABRT/sec: 0
RIPRR/sec: 0
PPERR/sec: 0
FTRGT/sec: 0
RISCI/sec: 258
RACK/sec: 0

So, where might be the problem?
Turning on Mantis debug messages, might tell the difference between these interrupts.

....
I hope somebody can help, because I think we are very close to a fully functional CAM here.
I ran out of things to test to get closer to the solution :(
Btw: Is there any documentation available for the mantis PCI bridge?
Not that I know.
