Thanks for the confirmation. I need to gather some opinion from Rafael and Bjorn. The patch provided only handles SCI in the ISA IRQ range (<16) I looked at the ACPI spec. SCI interrupt is a two byte field: "SCI_INT byte 2 offset 46 System vector the SCI interrupt is wired to in 8259 mode. On systems that do not contain the 8259, this field contains the Global System interrupt number of the SCI interrupt. OSPM is required to treat the ACPI SCI interrupt as a sharable, level, active low interrupt." Since we have a race condition between the time the IRQ is registered via the ISA API and the time it gets to the interrupt driver since irq_get_type function is not matching what SCI API indicated. how do we feel about increasing the ISA IRQ range to 256 so that we are safe for all SCI interrupts? Do you have any other recommendation? -- Sinan Kaya Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies, Inc. as an affiliate of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
