2006-06-21	[PATCH] PCI: msi abstractions and support for altix	Mark Maule	1	-62/+71
	Abstract portions of the MSI core for platforms that do not use standard APIC interrupt controllers. This is implemented through a new arch-specific msi setup routine, and a set of msi ops which can be set on a per platform basis.

2006-01-31	[PATCH] PCI: make it easier to see that set_msi_affinity() is used	Grant Grundler	1	-6/+0
	I missed this usage in drivers/pci/msi.h: #ifdef CONFIG_SMP #define set_msi_irq_affinity set_msi_affinity #else #define set_msi_irq_affinity NULL #endif set_msi_affinity() is declared and exclusively used in msi.c. Here's a better way so (hopefully) history doesn't repeat itself. Signed-off-by: Grant Grundler <iod00d@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-09-07	[PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity	Ashok Raj	1	-5/+0
	When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts. CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well. Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing. - Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for lack of a generic name. - added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64 - Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq handling time. - Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set. - Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating when using generic irq framework. Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off. Tested UP builds as well. MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I did test an earlier version of this patch. Will test in a couple days.

2005-06-27	[PATCH] PCI: clean up the MSI code a bit.	Greg Kroah-Hartman	1	-5/+4
	Mostly just cleans up the irq handling logic to be smaller and a bit more descriptive as to what it really does. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+159
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
