2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Francois Romieu Upstream as d78ad8cbfe73ad568de38814a75e9c92ad0a907c (post 2.6.29). Original comment (Karsten): On a MSI MS-6702E mainboard, when in rtl8169_init_one() for the first time after BIOS has run, IntrStatus reads 5 after chip has been reset. IntrStatus should equal 0 there, so patch changes IntrStatus reset to happen after chip reset instead of before. Remark (Francois): Assuming that the loglevel of the driver is increased above NETIF_MSG_INTR, the bug reveals itself with a typical "interrupt 0025 in poll" message at startup. In retrospect, the message should had been read as an hint of an unexpected hardware state several months ago :o( Fixes (at least part of) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460747 Signed-off-by: Karsten Wiese Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu Tested-by: Josep Signed-off-by: David S.
