But the patch doesn't change that? It just removes the readl AFAICS:

diff --git a/drivers/pci/msi.c b/drivers/pci/msi.c
index 6f2e629..3627732 100644
--- a/drivers/pci/msi.c
+++ b/drivers/pci/msi.c
@@ -455,8 +455,6 @@ static int msix_capability_init(struct pci_dev *dev,
entry->msi_attrib.default_irq = dev->irq;
entry->msi_attrib.pos = pos;
entry->mask_base = base;
- entry->masked = readl(base + j * PCI_MSIX_ENTRY_SIZE +
- PCI_MSIX_ENTRY_VECTOR_CTRL_OFFSET);
msix_mask_irq(entry, 1);


Or has msix_mask_irq() changed since 413f81eba?

cheers
