When using irqpoll I had a crash when I loaded the tg3 network driver (on IA64). The stack trace was:
ia64_leave_kernel [tg3]tg3_interrupt_tagged note_interrupt __do_IRQ ia64_handle_irq ia64_leave_kernel _spin_unlock_irqrestore pci_bus_read_config_dword pci_restore_state [tg3]tg3_chip_reset [tg3]tg3_reset_hw [tg3]tg3_init_hw [tg3]tg3_open dev_open dev_change_flags devinet_ioctl inet_ioctl sock_ioctl do_ioctl vfs_ioctl sys_ioctl ia64_ret_from_syscall __kernel_syscall_via_break Also, I had a MCA that ended up in a read from a PCI address that belongs to the tg3 driver. This patch makes sure that even the tr32() instruction in the interrupt handler is not executed which accesses PCI memory. Accessing PCI memory when pci_restore_state() is called is a bad idea because that function modifies the BARs of the PCI device. I think the problem could also happen when using shared interrupts, not only irqpoll.
