Just another contribution to the collection of interrupt storms maybe 
related to ath:


Whenever I plug in my ath1 on cardbus0, I get exactly one storm:
interrupt storm detected on irq10:; throttling interrupt source

ath1: Atheros 5212 mem 0xd022-0xd022 irq 10 at device 0.0 on 
cardbus0


Anyhow, I am not sure, if it is really ath causing this. During boot, I 
get one storm, too, that is on irq 10, but my ath0 on pci2 is on irq 9:


ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0xd020-0xd020 irq 9 at device 4.0 on pci2
[...]
interrupt storm detected on irq10:; throttling interrupt source

I do not get interrupt storms on irq 9 and I have already had that storm 
before I replaced my minipci iwi0 with ath0:

The reply to that posting was that it is probably related to USB:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-October/078687.html

Moreover, I have a bunch of other devices sharing irq 10:

vgapci0: VGA-compatible display port 0x3000-0x30ff mem 
0xd800-0xdfff,0xd010-0xd010 irq 10 at device 0.0 on pci1
uhci0: Intel 82801DB (ICH4) USB controller USB-A port 0x1800-0x181f 
irq 10 at device 29.0 on pci0
uhci2: Intel 82801DB (ICH4) USB controller USB-C port 0x1840-0x185f 
irq 10 at device 29.2 on pci0
ehci0: Intel 82801DB/L/M (ICH4) USB 2.0 controller mem 
0xd000-0xd3ff irq 10 at device 29.7 on pci0
fwohci0: Texas Instruments TSB43AB21/A/AI/A-EP mem 
0xd0218000-0xd02187ff,0xd021-0xd0213fff irq 10 at device 7.0 on pci2
pcm0: Intel ICH4 (82801DB) port 0x1c00-0x1cff,0x18c0-0x18ff mem 
0xdc00-0xddff,0xd800-0xd8ff irq 10 at device 31.5 on pci0


On our problematic irq, we both have got echi0. Thus, the second storm I 
get upon attaching ath1 might not be directly caused by ath.


No suggestions, just more data.

 I've seen something similar on an old dell laptop, on 6.3. It would cause an 
 interrupt storm when it got disconnected by the hostap for beacon misses. ath 
 driver as well, not sure what it shared it with.
 Unfortunately, I never got around to reporting it and the machine has been 
 destroyed by little mongrols, I mean the sweet boys.
 
 I know this doesn't help you, but at least you know that there is 'something' 
 with the ath driver that can cause interrupt storms.

Had the same problem by upgrading from FBSD-6.3 to FBSD-7.0 right up start.

I think it got some thing to do with device cpufreq and shared IRQ !
I had a IRQ-storm on IRQ-10, but my iwi0 need it.

well to solved the problem temporally I did compile my kernel without device 
cpufreq as I had on
FBSD-6.3, but the down side is that my 1.8Ghz Laptop will only run very very 
slow with 0.228Ghz...
after that (ONLY on FBSD-7.0)

at the end I just removed the other PCMCIA card (a Sierra Wireless) which using 
IRQ-10 too, but is
in no function on FreeBSD any way.
after that I compiled the kernel with device cpufreq and I'm up o 1.8GHz 
without IRQ-storm again.

I know this is not a finally solution, but I think we have to wait for FBSD-7.1 
or higher to brush
out all this little faults. I had a similarly problem when I was updating from 
FBSD-5.4 to FBSD-6.0
with the iwi0 driver, lots of IRQ-storms, had some thing to do with device 
cpufreq and ACPI that
time too !

hope this will go away in future.

 No suggestions, just more data.

I dug through daily security runs and \o/ the machine got rebooted one time, 
so I got a dmesg:
+uhci0: Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller port 0xdce0-0xdcff irq 11 at 
device 7.2 on pci0
+uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
+ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0x8800-0x8800 irq 11 at device 0.0 on 
cardbus0
+ath0: Ethernet address: 00:11:95:69:1d:eb
+ath0: mac 7.9 phy 4.5 radio 5.6

Not ehci, but uhci. Still...

I can't find if it had cpufreq. The kernel config I still have and it had it 
compiled in, but it doesn't show in the dmesg. Only power/sleep button, lid 
switch and thermal zone.

A typical storm session looks like this:
+ath0: link state changed to DOWN
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+interrupt storm detected on irq11:; throttling interrupt source
+ath0: link state changed to UP

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
