Subject: [PATCH] x86: mpparse: account for bus types other than ISA and PCI
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:50:01 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111122215000.GA9151@elie.hsd1.il.comcast.net> (raw)

In commit f8924e770e04 ("x86: unify mp_bus_info"), the 32-bit and
64-bit versions of MP_bus_info were rearranged to match each other
better.  Unfortunately it introduced a regression: prior to that
change we used to always set the mp_bus_not_pci bit, then clear it if
we found a PCI bus.  After it, we set mp_bus_not_pci for ISA buses,
clear it for PCI buses, and leave it alone otherwise.

In the cases of ISA and PCI, there's not much difference.  But ISA is
not the only non-PCI bus, so it's better to always set mp_bus_not_pci
and clear it only for PCI.

Without this change, Dan's Dell PowerEdge 4200 panics on boot with a
log indicating interrupt routing trouble unless the "noapic" option is
supplied.  With this change, the machine boots reliably without
"noapic".

Hi,

Fix for an old regression.  Not present in linux-next, so seems to
have been forgotten.  The patch visited LKML a few times --- I suppose
it was not a great time for getting patches in. :)
