This bug was introduced in the 2.6.24 i386/x86_64 tree merge, where MSI-X vector allocation will eventually fail. The cause is the new bit array tracking used vectors is not getting cleared properly on IRQ destruction on the 32-bit APIC code. This can be seen easily using the ixgbe 10 GbE driver on multi-core systems by simply loading and unloading the driver a few times. Depending on the number of available vectors on the host system, the MSI-X allocation will eventually fail, and the driver will only be able to use legacy interrupts. I am generating the same patch for both stable trees for 2.6.24 and 2.6.25.
