[96/99] powerpc/pci: Fix regression in powerpc MSI-X

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Nov 06 2009 - 17:24:28 EST


2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Andre Detsch <adetsch@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8435b027b87a78145992c37b0b8ed0f1b7761bf0 upstream.

Patch f598282f5145036312d90875d0ed5c14b49fd8a7 exposed a problem in
powerpc MSI-X functionality, making network interfaces such as ixgbe
and cxgb3 stop to work when MSI-X is enabled. RX interrupts were not
being generated.

The problem was caused because MSI irq was not being effectively
unmasked after device initialization.
