[Bug 1107150] Re: B75 Chipset I/O Problems

2013-12-12 Thread Stijn Volckaert
This kernel has some other problems. it doesn't seem to contain the
graphics driver for my card and I can't reboot. However, over ssh I get:

stijn@rogue:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/stijn/test bs=1M count=1k
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 6.3337 s, 170 MB/s

This is most definitely fixed. Care to upload the source .deb file as
well?

Thanks

I reverted that same commit in my own kernel source and the problem is
back. This wasn't the root cause.

just tested. The x86 kernel still has the bug.

[Bug 1107150] Re: B75 Chipset I/O Problems

2013-11-28 Thread Stijn Volckaert
Great to finally see this bug being worked on... I found a bunch of
similar bug reports that were finally closed (and supposedly solved)
because the original bug reporter ended up installing a 64-bit kernel
instead.

Here's what I found out so far:
* This bug only affects writing to block devices. Read speeds are absolutely 
fine. It would be nice if the other people could confirm this!
* This bug isn't related to the B75 chipset. I'm also experiencing this bug on 
a somewhat older chipset. I believe I'm using an Intel Q57 Express chipset but 
I doubt whether this is really relevant.
* It will only trigger with the x86 kernel, not the amd64 kernel.
* This bug _probably_ isn't limited to Ubuntu, Ubuntu is just the only distro 
that triggers it. I tested the following distributions:

  + Fedora 19 (32 bit) live cd (3.9.x kernel) - works fine
  + OpenSuSe 13.1 (32 bit) live cd (3.11 kernel) - works fine
  + Ubuntu 13.10 (32 bit) live cd (3.11 kernel) - doesn't work
  + Ubuntu 13.10 (64 bit) live cd (3.11 kernel) - works fine
  + Linux Mint 16 (32 bit) live cd (3.11 kernel) - doesn't work
  + Debian 7.2 (32 bit) live cd (3.2 kernel) - works fine

I then went back to Ubuntu 12.10 32 bit (3.5.5 kernel) and confirmed
that:

  + Running with only 8 Gigs of RAM gives me write speeds of 180-200Mb/sec
  + Running with 16 Gigs of RAM gives me write speeds of 160-180Mb/sec
  + Running with 32 Gigs of RAM gives me write speeds of 1.5-5.5Mb/sec

I downloaded a stock 3.5.5 kernel tarball and compiled it with the
ubuntu kernel config. The problem persists.

There is a similar bug where pc's suddenly get terrible write speeds to
block devices after waking up from suspend. This bug is caused by the
fact that on some pc's MTRR registers change after waking up. After
comparing Ubuntu, Fedora and Suse kernel configs, I noticed that Ubuntu
is the only distro using the MTRR sanitizer. I disabled it but the
problem persists.

This definitely seems like an mm problem to me. I'd like to test the
latest test kernel you've built but it's only available for amd64 (which
never had the problem anyway).
