2009-07-06 Thread kernel-janitor
Hi tommie-lie,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development
release of Ubuntu.  ISO CD images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .  Please then run following command
from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal).  It will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report.

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 150515

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great.  It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the
issue.  Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  Once
you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-
testing' tag.  This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon
next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and
deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.  Please let us know your
results.

Thanks in advance.

[This is an automated message.  Apologies if it has reached you
inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

This is definitely some strage regression: compiling and installing the
module from the et131x-source package solves it.

Please update the code for building the kernel images to that from the
source package...

On my LG X100 using Intrepid, ksoftirqd uses about 10-15% CPU when
et131x is loaded. Doing the change mentioned here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=2045610group_id=179406atid=889023
where

pAdapter-ErrorTimer.expires=jiffies+HZ;

is added before:

add_timer( pAdapter-ErrorTimer );

solved the problem.

Alternatively, using nohz=off kernel parameter to make the kernel no
longer tickless solves it too.

[Bug 150515] Re: et131x causing ksoftirqd to eat up cpu

2008-08-10 Thread W Unruh
The problem I think was that the adapter-ErrorTimer.expires variable (
which says when the timer is supposed to expire) was set only once. Thus
after the first return, the expires time was in the past, and the timer
returns immediately which resets the timer which returns immediately,
etc. This should have always caused trouble, not just on the tickless
kernel. I suspect that originally immediately meant once per jiffie,
while on the tickless kernel it means as fast as possible. Ie it
originally churned at 300 times per second and now was going at 1
times per second.


Note that originally it was set ( in et131x_initpci.c) as 
adapter-ErrorTimer.expires  = jiffies + TX_ERROR_PERIOD * HZ / 1000;
which is supposed to be once a second since TX_ERROR_PERIOD is 1000. The above 
fix does it once every 30 sec. (there are  HZ jiffies /sec) I have no idea if 
this makes any difference. 

This fix has not made it to sourceforge. The latest sourceforge version
is 1.2.3-3 which contains a lot of the fixes needed to run and compile
this driver on later kernels, but it does not contain the add_timer fix.

2008-03-05 Thread foxctrl
I got the same problems with softirqd using about 25% of my CPU load,
and it was only when the et131x module was loaded. So I downloaded the
et131x...tar.gz from Richard (above) compiled and installed it.

But make modules_install copyied new et131x.ko to the wrong dir
/modules/version/extra/et131x.ko. So I moved it the right place

/modules/version/ubuntu/net/et131x/et131x.ko

and made another depmod -a -q and a reboot of my system and then the cpu
load was down.

Great  Thank you !

But the file size of the new module is about 10 times bigger than the old one. 
On my system:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1866614 2008-03-05 12:41 et131x.ko   // new 
driver
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  116692 2007-10-13 07:43 et131x.ko.save   // old version

Is that ok ? I'm worried about the new module to be more than 10 times
bigger than the old one ...

Probably it can be fixed by changing 
add_timer( pAdapter-ErrorTimer );
to
mod_timer( pAdapter-ErrorTimer, jiffies+ 5*HZ );
in error_timer_handler function in file et131x_initpci.c ( learned from

[Bug 150515] Re: et131x causing ksoftirqd to eat up cpu

2008-02-12 Thread MatB
Same problem here, the issue is triggered by a high CPU load. ksoftirqd eats 
around 27% of CPU time.
Running hardy kernel linux-image-2.6.24-5-server.
powertop shows et131x_open (et131x_error_timer_handler) on top of the list.
Turning down the network interface brings the load back to normal; I tried to 
rmmod and modprobe et131x but as soon as the network is up the load raises up 
again.
Unfortunately i can't use the kernel boot param nohz=off since it 
deteriorates the quality of video playback.

I just experienced the exact same bug that joyrider had (see higher or click 
the link).
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/150515/comments/6

My ksoftirqd/0 was using ~20% of my CPU. Found this page via google,
unloaded the cx88 modules (that i'm using for my TV Card), and ksoftirqd
is now back to normal, using.. ~0.0% CPU. ;)

I'm under Ubuntu 7.10
Pentium 3 866
TV Card: Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP Expert

Haven't touched the grub config since my ubuntu install so the nohz
option is at the default, whatever the default is.

The problem seems to be indeed that the et131x driver doesn't work well
with a tickless kernel. I boot with nohz=off now and ksoftirqd's CPU
consumption is back to normal. To turn off the the messages to the
kernel log about the unhandled IOCTL I load the module with the option
et131x_debug_flags=0.

[Bug 150515] Re: et131x causing ksoftirqd to eat up cpu

2007-11-21 Thread Bernhard Gehl
I am not quite sure if this bug is a duplicate - it seems to me that
something is wrong with this specific driver or its interaction with the
(tickless?) kernel:

My setup is similar to the one, the bug was originally reported for: LG
S1 Pro Express Dual - with an Agere et131x wired network card. As
reported, ksoftirqd/1 keeps running at 15-25 % of CPU power on one of
the CPUs (currently #1). Switching off the network via Network Manager
lets the IRQ load vanish instantly, as does removing the et131x module
by hand.

Running the 'powertop' tool from Intel, the top of the list of processes waking 
up the processors is this:
31,9% (250,1)NetworkManager : et131x_open (et131x_error_timer_handler) 

Furthermore, when I call 'dmesg' I get a seemingly endless list of error 
messages in the style of:
[  844.008000] et131x.ko:WARNING:et131x_ioctl Unhandled IOCTL Code: 0x8b01

I had noticed the dmesg errors earlier and searched a little (wired network is 
working fine so my motivation was limited) and I came across some other threads 
(most about Ubuntu Gutsy), where users got this error message. In the 
sourceforge forum (Google doesn't search these!), someone said, that this error 
message was due to chatter over the wireless network that the et131x doesn't 
recognize and logs as this error code.
(Thread here: 
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1739227forum_id=621136 )

Could there be a connection (pun not intended)?

Of course I'll gladly run any diagnostics/tests necessary to
troubleshoot the problem!

Regards,
 Bernhard

Unloading the et131x module on 2.6.22 works fine as well but it's very annoying

I'm having a similar problem with Ksoftirqd but with other modules
perhaps it's related to this problem/bug. The modules in question are
CX88_ALSA and CX8800 although i believe it's the later one. I have a
constant 20-30% cpu usage from ksoftirqd/0 process only when unloading
the CX88_ALSA and CX8800 module the load goes away. But this prevents me
from using the tv card in ubuntu.

I had the same issue with my laptop after I installed the restricted
drivers on my Gutsy Firmware fro Broadcom 43xx chipset family in an
attempt to set up my wireless network.

I did try to follow all the instructions from the forum using
ndiswrapper with 64bit Windows Vista driver but still not able to make
it. However this also enabled me to find a bug ksoftirqd/1 eating up
100% cpu.

The moment I uninstall the above said driver, my machine started acting
normally. Here is my machine configuration:

Compaq Presario V3414AU
AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 
1GB SD RAM
Nvidia family of Video card
Broadcomm wireless 
Altec Lansing sound card/speaker

I'm still not able to make my wireless working on the Ubuntu 7.10,
Though my sound, Video, Avant, Emerald, Compiz are working smoothly with
Wired network interface.

I appreciate if any one here have similar issue and solution for the
same.


Prior to uninstalling the firmware, I have seen these logs in my dmesg:
[  686.251840] printk: 319404 messages suppressed.

[Bug 150515] Re: et131x causing ksoftirqd to eat up cpu

2007-10-20 Thread Soni
I can confirm this bug - I have also a LG T1 and after upgrading to
Gutsy the process ksoftirqd coused permamantly 15-30% cpu load. After
removing the module et131x there is no more cpu load of ksoftirqd.
