    [SCSI] qla4xxx: Fix MBOX intr switching from polling to intr mode for ISP83XX · 5c19b92a
    Vikas Chaudhary 提交于
    Issue:
    Mailbox command timed out after switching from polling mode to interrupt mode.
    
    Events:-
     1. Mailbox interrupts are disabled
     2. FW generates AEN and at same time driver enables Mailbox Interrupt
     3. Driver issues new mailbox to Firmware
    
    In above case driver will not get AEN interrupts generated by FW in step #2 as
    FW generated this AEN when interrupts are disabled. During the same time
    driver enabled the mailbox interrupt, so driver will not poll for interrupt.
    Driver will never process AENs generated in step #2 and issues new mailbox to
    FW, but now FW is not able to post mailbox completion as AENs generated before
    are not processed by driver.
    
    Fix:
    Enable Mailbox / AEN interrupts before initializing FW in case of ISP83XX.
    This will make sure we process all Mailbox and AENs in interrupt mode.
