Mauro & Marcin,

This isn't a locking issue.  This is a device initialization issue.  It
also looks like it's been reported quite often under 2.6.25 as well.


Marcin,

What devices share the interrupt with the SAA7133?

$ cat /proc/interrupts

And could on of those those devices possibly generate an interrupt while
the saa7134 driver is being modporbe'd?


Mauro & Marcin,

This looks like to me what is going on:

saa7134_hwinit1() does properly turn off IRQs for which it wants
reports:

        saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ1, 0);
        saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ2, 0);

but not clearing the state of SAA7134_IRQ_REPORT, maybe something like
this (I don't have a SAA7134 datasheet):

        saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ_REPORT, 0xffffffff);

So when saa7134_initdev() calls request_irq(..., saa7134_irq,
IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_DISABLED, ...), it gets an IRQ that is shared with
another device.

Before saa7134_hwinit2() is called by saa7134_initdev() to set
"dev->input", some other device fires an interrupt and saa7134_irq() is
called that then operates on the unknown state of the SAA7134_IRQ_REPORT
register that was never cleared.

Marcin has mapped out the oops from there.

So the solution, I'm guessing, is likely to clear the SAA7134_IRQ_REPORT
register in saa7134_hwinit1().

If only I had a datasheet, hardware, spare time... ;)


Regards,
Andy
