The check for interrupt masking support is done by reading the PCI_COMMAND config word pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &orig); then flipping the PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE bit and writing result back pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, orig ^ PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE); The expected result is that following read of the PCI_COMMAND pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &new); returns PCI_COMMAND with only PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE bit changed. There are two possible outcomes: 1. Command is the same (hasn't changed) 2. Commmand has changed And the second of them may be decoupled to: 2.1 Command changed only for PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE bit (hasn't changed for bits different than PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE) 2.2 Command changed for bit(s) different than PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE bit (and maybe for PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE too) The 2.1 is expected result and anything else is error. The 2.2 outcome is handled by pci_intx_mask_supported by printing appropriate message to the log, but outcome 1 is not handled. Log the message about command not being changed at all.
