The link state and exception interrupts may be masked when we probe.
The firmware should in theory prevent sending (and automasking) those
interrupts if the device is disabled, but if my reading of the FW code
is correct there are firmwares out there with race conditions in this
area. The interrupt may also be masked if previous driver which used
the device was malfunctioning and we didn't load the FW (there is no
other good way to comprehensively reset the PF).
Note that FW unmasks the data interrupts by itself when vNIC is
enabled, such helpful operation is not performed for LSC/EXN interrupts.
Always unmask the auxiliary interrupts after request_irq(). On the
remove path add missing PCI write flush before free_irq().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
