      [SCSI] lpfc: restore MSI-X/MSI support · 8605c46c
      George Kadianakis 提交于
      A Gentoo bug report [1] showed that as of 2.6.31 lpfc only uses INTx interrupts.
      This patch restores lpfc's ability to support MSI-X/MSI interrupts that the
      "Addition of SLI4 Interface - Base Support" patch [2] broke.
      It reestablishes MSI-X as the default interrupt method and in case MSI-X is not
      supported lpfc_sli{4,}_enable_intr fallbacks to MSI and then to INTx.

      [James Smart:
      Background:
      Nothing Broke. This was intended.
      
      We had originally enabled MSI-X by default, but in qualification within the
      last 12 months, we encountered a major catch-22:
      
      There were at least 4 platforms, from 2 major OEMs, that :
      - Say they support MSI-X - platform routines work and act as if they do.
      - We enable it, generate a test interrupt to check they really do deliver it,
      and it works.
      - But shortly after attachment, the system hangs or loses interrupts,
      resulting in a bad system behavior.
      
      Given the distro's picking up the 2.6.32 kernel, we had to stick with a
      default of MSI-X off, with user-enabled MSI-X as these platforms couldn't get
      fixed.
      
      However, we're also now encountering platforms that require MSI-X and never
      INTx, so we must change. It's desired also for also for performance reasons.
      
      So - now (2.6.33) is the right time to re-enable MSI-X by default.
