Hi Andrew, thank you for the extensive testing.

The kernel will print the error message about spurious interrupts and switch to polling at 100000 requests. But even 20000 is way too much. This just means that b43 loaded quickly enough to stop the interrupts before the kernel limit of 100000 was reached, but the wireless card wasn't reset early on as it should have been. It looks like the patch didn't work at all on your machine for some reason. Do you see a message "cannot iomap device, IRQ storm ahead" in dmesg? Included below is a slightly different patch which is based on the 3.16.7-ckt tree (so it should apply cleanly to your kernel version). This version prints a message when the wireless card is reset. Please verify that you see the message "b43 quirk: resetting controller" in dmesg with this patch. This version of the patch also resets the card a bit earlier in the boot process than the previous version did. Please let me know if this improves the situation on your machine. You might also want to try a newer kernel version, 3.16 is very old and I'm not sure if there have been any changes since which might negatively impact proper functioning of the patch. There are also official 4.4 kernels available for Jessie. Canonical ends support for the 3.16.y-ckt series anyway this month. > Presently I have a grub work around for black screen as described here: > http://askubuntu.com/questions/264247/proprietary-nvidia-drivers-with-efi-on-mac-to-prevent-overheating/613573#613573 > > which basically involves adding a grub scriptlet to enable PCI-E bus > mastering on graphics cards: > > In /etc/grub.d/01_enable_vga.conf: > > setpci -s "00:01.0" 3e.b=8 > setpci -s "01:00.0" 04.b=7 I think you need to upgrade to a newer version of the Nvidia driver, I have just verified that 352.63 will set the busmaster bit if it's cleared. > Can we do some similar magic setpci commands to disable 04:00.0 > which is my BCM4331 I think grub is also able to write to mmio space of a PCI device, which is what's necessary to reset the wireless card, so theoretically yes, but the right place to fix this is in the kernel since not everyone is using grub. Best regards, Lukas -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Add Broadcom 4331 reset quirk to prevent IRQ storm Broadcom 4331 wireless cards built into Apple Macs unleash an IRQ storm on boot until they are reset, causing spurious interrupts if the IRQ is shared. Apparently the EFI bootloader enables the device and does not disable it before passing control to the OS. The bootloader contains a driver for the wireless card which allows it to phone home to Cupertino. This is used for Internet Recovery (download and install OS X images) and probably also for Back to My Mac (remote access, RFC 6281) and to discover stolen hardware. The issue is most pronounced on 2011 and 2012 MacBook Pros where the IRQ is shared with 3 other devices (Light Ridge Thunderbolt controller, SDXC reader, HDA card on discrete GPU). As soon as an interrupt handler is installed for one of these devices, the ensuing storm of spurious IRQs causes the kernel to disable the IRQ and switch to polling. This lasts until the b43 driver loads and resets the device. Loading the b43 driver first is not always an option, in particular with the Light Ridge Thunderbolt controller: The PCI hotplug IRQ handler gets installed early on because it is built in, unlike b43 which is usually a module.
