[PATCH] ia64: bug w/ shared interrupts
I just ran into a bug introduced by the most recent iosapic.c patch. The scenario is a builtin driver is up and running happily. A module loads for a devices that happens to share the same interrupt vector, in this case a network driver. The module calls pci_enable_device() as it should, which eventually lands in iosapic_enable_intr(). We then proceed to mask the interrupt and kill the device that's already running. As a bonus, request_interrupt() doesn't fix the problem because we only call the startup for the interrupt handler on the first action attached to the interrupt. I think the best way out of this is simply to detect when an action is already attached to a vector and leave it alone. This also prevents interrupts from moving to other cpus (on boxes w/o irq redirection) for no good reason.
