=Comment: #0================================================= Emily J. Ratliff <ratliff.com> - 1. Feature Overview: Feature Id: [201700] a. Name of Feature: Verify all MSI-X interrupt capable IO adapters with MSI-X on Power platform b. Feature Description By 10/2009, the MSI-X interrupt will be supported by the system firmware and the Linux kernel. All of the MSI-X capable adapters need to be verified to make sure that they can run correctly with the feature. Any problems found in the individual driver will be addressed through the bug process. The driver/device that are expected to be verified as MSI-X capable are: cxgb3 / Red River e1000e / El Paso, Coleman ixgbe / Knox s2io / King bnx2 / Nemo and the Combo card bnx2x / Cobia (Low priority. TBD as out-of-plan) lpfc / Coho, Jack qla2xxx / Qlogic 4G, 8G and the Combo card ib_mthca / CISCO 4X SDR IB HSDC (Arbel) mlx4_ib / Mellanox 4X DDR IB HSDC (ConnectX) 2. Feature Details: Sponsor: PPC Architectures: ppc64 Arch Specificity: Purely Common Code Affects Kernel Modules: Yes Delivery Mechanism: Device Driver Category: Device Drivers and IO Request Type: Other d. Upstream Acceptance: No Code Required Sponsor Priority 1 f. Severity: High IBM Confidential: no Code Contribution: no g. Component Version Target: 3. Business Case The MSI-X interrupt provides better performance and throughput out of the PCI-Express IO devices. 4. Primary contact at Red Hat: John Jarvis jjarvis 5.
