Ouch. I don't quite understand how the interrupt handling in this driver is supposed to work. sc16is7xx_irq() is invoked to handle the interrupt, but it does absolutely nothing to squelch it... how does this not cause an interrupt storm? The irq core is free to unmask the interrupt when the handler return IRQ_HANDLED, and if you're dealing with level-sensitive interrupts... Josh
