[PATCH 0/2] e1000e msi-x fixes

[Benjamin Poirier]

Hi,

For this series:


Benjamin Poirier (2):
  e1000e: remove unreachable code
  e1000e: Fix msi-x interrupt automask

The first patch is a cleanup but the second one is the real deal. Please
consider reading the description for that patch before proceeding. I
believe that the following simple tracing statements are helpful in
detecting the problem fixed by the second patch.

With that patch but without the patches in this series we can see that rx irqs
occur at unexpected times:

          <idle>-0     [000] .Ns.  1986.887517: e1000e_poll: eth1: will enable rxq0 irq

Here's a typical sequence after applying the patches in this series. Notice
that ims is changed. Another printk at the end of e1000e_poll would show it to
be 0x01500004.

          <idle>-0     [000] d.h.  3896.134376: e1000_intr_msix_rx: eth1: rxq0 irq ims 0x01400004

          <idle>-0     [000] ..s.  3896.134398: e1000e_poll: eth1: will enable rxq0 irq

Finally, here's the script I used to generate the warnings above:
