SubjectLava dual parallel PCI card IRQ problem
Date
Hi All,

I have problems in setting up IRQ mode operation of parallel ports using
onboard port and a LAVA dual parallel PCI card. IRQ is needed to catch events
of an external instrument.

Motherboard is a K9N2G-Neo (MS-7511) with one onboard parallel port, x86_64
Debian lenny, kernel custom compiled 2.6.26.5.

In the example below, parport_pc is loaded without any arguments, onboard port
works OK in IRQ mode. LAVA card ports are detected but do not have IRQs, work
in polled operation:

modprobe parport_pc
===
parport_pc 00:04: reported by Plug and Play ACPI
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP]
ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB]
parport_pc 00:04: driver attached
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] enabled at IRQ 16
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:06.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 16 (level, low) ->
IRQ 16
PCI parallel port detected: 1407:8002, I/O at 0xb400(0x0)
parport1: PC-style at 0xb400 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:06.1[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 16 (level, low) ->
IRQ 16
PCI parallel port detected: 1407:8003, I/O at 0xb080(0x0)
parport2: PC-style at 0xb080 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]

If "io" and "irq" options are specified, parport_pc falls back to some "dumb"
mode. Onboard port does not work at all (lack of PNP/ACPI initialization ?),
LAVA card may work if proper IRQ and IO address are specified (reported by
lspci -v). In most cases, however, this IRQ is already used by an NEC USB
card in my box. Actually, I could not find any way to control IRQ assignment
for cards. The only way is to remove some cards or playing with card order
in slots.

- Is there a way to autodetect and activate LAVA card in IRQ mode?
- What kind of PnP/ACPI initialization steps are omitted if IO/IRQ parameters
are passed to parport_pc?
- Why can't parport_pc share IRQ? (Other devices apparently share IRQs in the
box. See irq 17 below)

Thanks
Gabor Kovacs

===========
Scenarios:

Lava card works in polled operation, onboard port does not work at all:

modprobe parport_pc io=0x378,0xb400,0xb080 irq=auto,auto,auto
===
parport 0x378 (WARNING): CTR: wrote 0x0c, read 0xff
parport 0x378 (WARNING): DATA: wrote 0xaa, read 0xff
parport 0x378: You gave this address, but there is probably no parallel port
there!
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport1: PC-style at 0xb400 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport2: PC-style at 0xb080 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]

=========

IRQ conflict is reported by parport_pc:
modprobe parport_pc io=0xb400,0xb080 irq=auto,16
===
parport0: PC-style at 0xb400 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport1: PC-style at 0xb080, irq 16 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport1: irq 16 in use, resorting to polled operation

When the conflicting USB card is removed, Lava card works with IRQ if proper
IO and IRQ are specified:

modprobe parport_pc io=0xcc00,0xc880 irq=none,16
