I don't use an MCP55 motherboard anymore but I ran with MSI on for multiple years to no ill effect. However, in this thread where I reported my success, another person reported failure with MCP51. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=101144&highlight=sata_nv+msi Assuming that's true, you can't use the 'MCP5x' test as that will cover MCP51 as well. --phil > Signed-off-by: Tony Vroon <tony@linx.net> > > diff --git a/drivers/ata/sata_nv.c b/drivers/ata/sata_nv.c > index b2d11f3..469d4c7 100644 > --- a/drivers/ata/sata_nv.c > +++ b/drivers/ata/sata_nv.c > @@ -602,6 +602,7 @@ MODULE_VERSION(DRV_VERSION); > > static int adma_enabled; > static int swncq_enabled = 1; > +static int msi_enabled; > > static void nv_adma_register_mode(struct ata_port *ap) > { > @@ -2459,6 +2460,12 @@ static int nv_init_one(struct pci_dev *pdev, > const struct pci_device_id *ent) } else if (type == SWNCQ) > nv_swncq_host_init(host); > > + /* enable MSI if requested */ > + if (type >= MCP5x && msi_enabled) { > + dev_printk(KERN_NOTICE, &pdev->dev, "Using MSI\n"); > + pci_enable_msi(pdev); > + } > + > pci_set_master(pdev); > return ata_host_activate(host, pdev->irq, ipriv->irq_handler, > IRQF_SHARED, ipriv->sht); > @@ -2558,4 +2565,6 @@ module_param_named(adma, adma_enabled, bool, > 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(adma, "Enable use of ADMA (Default: false)"); > module_param_named(swncq, swncq_enabled, bool, 0444); > MODULE_PARM_DESC(swncq, "Enable use of SWNCQ (Default: true)"); > +module_param_named(msi, msi_enabled, bool, 0444); > +MODULE_PARM_DESC(msi, "Enable use of MSI (Default: false)"); > > --phil -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'd take that with a bit of a grain of salt as there have been a lot of HT MSI fixups included since those posts (2007). Some motherboards didn't enable HT MSI mapping capabilities by default, which would prevent MSI from working. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The nVidia MCP55 controller quite happily supports MSI. This adds an option to use it. It is disabled by default and will only be honoured on MCP5x series controllers. This was suggested in 2007 back when the driver was less mature, perhaps now is a better time for it.
