[epic] eth0: Too much work at interrupt - PCI IRQ-sharing problem?

[Thomas Stroesslin]

Pavlik: maybe this is an issue in the via82cxxx driver. please
see http://www.scyld.com/pipermail/epic/2001-May/thread.html

Bill Pringlemeir said in linux.dev.kernel that UDMA wasn't working. So I
post some more info concerning my chipset and kernel-setup:

in .config:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y

in dmesg:

    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd008-0xd00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio

in /proc/pci:
  Bus  0, device   7, function  1:

in /proc/ide/via:

what is strange, is that:
mantrapc1:~/tmp # more hdparm_hdb_dma 
/dev/hdb:
 using_dma    =  1 (on)

it seems as if the driver doesn't use dma for hdb, but hdparm shows the
value reported by the bios. all other values seem to be correct.

please note that:
mantrapc1:~/tmp # more ifconfig

nothing at all is working!

cheers,
