I really don't like this one. It will basically re-introduce the old
behaviour of waking people up in a trickle, as far as I can tell. The
reason we want the batching is to make people have more requests to sort
in the elevator

Because a EIO or similar should _not_ be re-tried or kept dirty.

Patch appears to work,

You seem to be pretty much able to reproduce this at wi

OK, here's the details you asked about:
Soundblaster Awe 32 sound card
Voodoo 3 pci video card
Running Xfree86-4.0.0 (rpms from 3dfx.com)
Playing unreal tournament, no special game
options, just 800x600 graphics @ 16 bits.
To recap, the symptoms (hung ps, etc) occurred
on kernel 2.4.1-pre8 + low
It is important to note that when I hit the magic key and rebooted (SUB), a
split second before it rebooted, a stalled 'lspci' snapped back to life and
printed out my expected data.

On 2.4.0-ac12, I played music for about 30 minutes without any problems. I started up
an mpeg in xmms and it
locked in short order. I'm sure now that it has something to do with the graphics.
What DGA or other config
options do you have enabled for your game?
What video and sound card?

Unfortunately klogd reads /procerg.
So the following is a painstakingly slow hand translation, I'll only print

Sorry, there was no xmms involved here -
The behavior occurred while playing unreal tournament.

Does anybody have a clue about what is different with xmms?
Does it use KNI if it can, for example? We used to have a problem with
KNI+Athlons, for exampl

I can quickly and easily duplicate it on my notebook by playing music or
mpegs in xmms. It may take a few minutes but it's guaranteed.
xmms stalls flat on it's face and anything accessing /proc stalls. If I get
the time to do it, I'll take a gander at it with kdb.

weird hardware fluke or something, but one of

The system in question is a Pentium II 400, scsi

Morton's low latency patches.

I noticed this problem in 2.4.1-pre8.
Odd, thats EXACLY what happened to me. I had to do a hard restart as killall

Any word on why this is happening?
