Same release/acquire fence pattern as the other PCI drivers.
The ixgbe (10 GbE) has the same hand-off semantics as e1000/rtl8168
(OWN/OWN-bit), so the same ordering is required: release fence
before TDT (TX doorbell) and RDT (RX doorbell), and an acquire
fence before reading the descriptor status.
The Linux ixgbe driver applies the same fences in the same
places; see afadba9..c17924b in the upstream tree. The original
Redox port from ixy.rs didn't carry them, which is a real bug
on aarch64 (or on any future cache-coherent extension).
The previous code unconditionally required a legacy INTX line, which
on bare metal is missing for nearly every modern 82599/X540/X550
board that has its IRQ lines wired to MSI-X only. pcid_interface
allocates MSI-X when the device advertises it, falls back to MSI,
then to legacy INTX, so the change preserves every existing path
while unlocking the much higher line-rate headroom of MSI-X
per-vector queuing that the device's enable_msix_interrupt code
already implements in device.rs.
The IRQ-acknowledge-and-write pattern is unchanged: the kernel
masks the line on delivery, we must re-arm unconditionally or a
foreign interrupt on a shared line leaves the line masked forever.
Continuation of 92924224 — the same conditional-ack bug class found in
six more drivers: a foreign interrupt on a shared INTx line skipped the
write-back ack, leaving the kernel-masked IRQ line dead forever.
- sb16d, ac97d: ack before the not-ours continue
- rtl8139d, rtl8168d, ixgbed: ack unconditionally, tick only when ours
(the stale 'TODO: spurious interrupts' comments removed — the
spurious-interrupt confusion was this bug)
- ihdgd: ack unconditionally, handle_events/tick only when ours
Verified: cargo check -Z build-std --target x86_64-unknown-redox for
sb16d, ac97d, rtl8139d, rtl8168d, ixgbed, ihdgd — clean, no new
warnings. nvmed audited: not affected (per-queue MSI pattern, no
conditional ack).
Per local/docs/PATCH-PRESERVATION-AUDIT-2026-07-12.md the base
fork was carrying only 38 of 100 patches in local/patches/base/.
The other 62 patches' content was silently missing from the fork
working tree, even though their .patch files were preserved.
This commit re-applies 41 patches that genuinely still apply
cleanly + 17 hunks that partially applied. Recovery covers:
- D-Bus initfs service wiring (P4-initfs-dbus-services)
- USB service wiring (P4-initfs-usb-drm-services)
- netcfg/dhcp/dhcpv6 driver fixes
- acpid shutdown/PM/quirk fixes
- inputd/ps2d hard-fail logging
- pcid driver interface refinements (server cmd channel)
- virtio-core for VirtualBox support
- ixgbed/rtl8139/rtl8168 net drivers
- ahcid NCQ + per-function interrupt coalescing
- logd persistent logging
- bootstrap procmgr race-condition fixes
- cargo version pin to +rb0.3.0 (synchronized release branch)
58 files changed, +1444/-318 lines.
Untracked mnt/ tree and *.orig / *.rej files cleaned up after
