I've been unable to get the reporter to respond to basic debugging
inquiries about this.  Without that information, my best guess is that
it's a kmalloc failure that ordinarily would be a mm issue.  However,
given that there have been no other reports of this, I suspect it might
be some type of one off error.

I'd downgrade the severity to not reproducible and kill it unless any
further information comes along.

I tested it on 8-core stoakley.

1) volanoMark
Comparing with 2.6.26-rc1, 2.6.26-rc3+peter_sched_git_patch result has about 30% improvement, but it still has
about 27% regression than the one of 2.6.25.

2) sysbench+mysql(readonly oltp)
Comparing with 2.6.26-rc2, 2.6.26-rc3+peter_sched_git_patch result has about 15% improvement, but it still has
about 15% regression than the one of 2.6.25.

Hmm, so both about halfways. When testing on a quad vmark got all the

Ah, well. I'll just continue poking at this. Thanks!

Hi,


I got this from Andrew a couple of days ago:

----
The patch titled
    revert "ACPICA: Fixes for Unload and DDBHandles"
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
    revert-acpica-fixes-for-unload-and-ddbhandles.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
----

But I don't know which tree it was merged into. It doesn't seem to be
in ACPI tree anyway.

Ingo Molnar provided the patch that solved the problem (the referenced
link) but he wanted to wait for Andreas Herrmann to provide an
additional patch that would solve some implication on AMD CPUs. So
this is in theory fixed, but the fix has not yet been applied anywhere
as far as I know.

There's a CPUID way to distingush the cases I found out now (with help
from Venki, thanks) so it would be possible to solve it properly, but
once even a bad Ingo patch is in it's nearly impossible to replace it
with something better so I bail out at this point.

[In case someone is interested it's CPUID 5 ECX bit 0 which enumerates
if the MWAIT enumeration is there. So the correct mwait_usable() that
would have avoided your problem would be something like (untested):

return c->cpuid_level >= 5 &&
           ((cpuid_ecx(5) & 1) == 0 || (cpuid_edx(5) >> 4) & 0xf) > 0);
]

Andi,

stop these pointless ad hominem attacks!

When a better solution is available then it _is_ applied regardless of
the persons involved.

Right now we had the choice to wait until the CPUID solution becomes
eventually correct or just revert to the state which was working
before. There was no sign of a solution so I went back to the old
known to work state which excludes AMD family 0x10/11 from mwait.


I'm interested, but I'd be even more interested in some useful pointer
to the magic bitnumbers in that check, but don't exert yourself in
providing the information, I'm going to figure it out myself.

Thanks,

Just my experience from past incidents sorry. I'm sure it never happened

It's documented in the IA32 SDM vol2 as part of the CPUID description.
It's a reasonable expection that everyone hacking on cpuid code has that
at hand.

Stop this encrypted FUD campain. If you have something to complain
about then please speak up in clear text. Your insinuations are just

I have one at hand and I'm able to read and _understand_ it, but it's
an even more resonable expectation that:

1) someone who submits a CPUID related patch in the first place
   actually understands what he is doing.

2) someone who proposes a "proper" solution provides at least some
   useful pointer to documentation including page number or a useful
   comment to the change. Forcing the maintainers to dig out the docs
   and research the same topic again is just an impolite annoyance.

3) the submitter considers whether suitable descriptive macros or
   inlines can be introduced to make the code more readable to
   non-CPUID-hackers.

4) maintainers who trust a submitter are not exposed to nasty attacks
   by the person they trusted when an identified problematic patch
   gets reverted to the previous working state.

I'm really starting to get grumpy about your hostile and attacking
behaviour.

It was _your_ patch which caused the regression and it is a reasonable
decision of a maintainer to revert it to the previous known to work
status quo.

Also I'm impressed by your self-righteous attitude of alleging that
I'm incompetent and you need to teach me what is the reasonable
documentation. I know for sure that I'm far from perfect and I really
appreciate your experience with the x86 architecture, but please do
not try to take me for a fool.

You screwed it up in the first place and you needed the help of others
to decode the documentation, which is not that hard to get straight
(and I did _not_ talk to Venki, I did not even try to talk to him):

ECX Bits 00: Enumeration of Monitor-Mwait extensions (beyond EAX and
             EBX registers) supported

	7329e211b987a493cbcfca0e98c60eb108ab42df is first bad commit
	commit 7329e211b987a493cbcfca0e98c60eb108ab42df
	Author: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
	Date:   Thu Apr 3 18:02:56 2008 -0400

	    USB: root hubs don't lie about their number of TTs
	    
	    Currently EHCI root hubs enumerate with a bDeviceProtocol code
	    indicating that they possess a Transaction Translator.  However the
	    vast majority of controllers do not; they rely on a companion
	    controller to handle full- and low-speed communications.  This patch
	    (as1064) changes the root-hub device descriptor to match the actual
	    situation.

And indeed, reverting this commit from 2.6.26-rc3 makes my system
stop oopsing when I plug in the USB-PS/2 adapter (a low speed device),
and makes it work again as it did in 2.6.25.

Any other info I can provide or tests I can run?


thanks,

I'm guessing that this has a version of the ARC/TDI/whoever-now-owns-it
IP, on a PCI bus?  But without the integrated TT option?

If this is on a PCI bus, then try removing the ehci-pci.c line added
by that patch, see if that helps.

No, this is not on a PCI bus -- this is the on-chip EHCI controller
of the Marvell Orion ARM SoC (ehci-orion.c.)

I have honestly no idea whether the IP is in-house or third-party.

This patch appears to fix it:


The Orion EHCI root hub does have a built-in Transaction Translator.

Pardon me for being puzzled, but I don't see how that change could 
possibly have any effect on the problem you saw.

Nor do I see how the patch you identified could have caused any 
problems.  That has_tt flag isn't used anywhere in ehci-hcd (it is only 
ever set, never read), and the only place it is used in usbcore is for 
adjusting the root hub's device descriptor.

Well.  I just re-tested it a couple more times to be sure, and the
"hcd->has_tt = 1;" line does make all the difference in the world when
it comes to getting oopses on plugging in low speed USB devices on this
board.  So if you don't understand what's going on then I guess I don't

Maybe this code in drivers/usb/core/hub.c has something to do with
it?

        switch (hdev->descriptor.bDeviceProtocol) {
                case 0:
                        break;
                case 1:
                        dev_dbg(hub_dev, "Single TT\n");
                        hub->tt.hub = hdev;
                        break;
                case 2:
                        ret = usb_set_interface(hdev, 0, 1);
                        if (ret == 0) {
                                dev_dbg(hub_dev, "TT per port\n");
                                hub->tt.multi = 1;
                        } else
                                dev_err(hub_dev, "Using single TT (err %d)\n",
                                        ret);
                        hub->tt.hub = hdev;
                        break;
                default:
                        dev_dbg(hub_dev, "Unrecognized hub protocol %d\n",
                                hdev->descriptor.bDeviceProtocol);
                        break;

That must be it.  This code base is getting too large to keep in a

Looks like you should submit your patch.

A similar change is needed in other bus-glue files.  I have put 
together a patch to take care of them all; it will be posted later 
today.

Looking at my var/log/* it's been two days and I have not received
this message, The only configuration change was disabling irq
balancing,
changing 300MHZ to 100MHZ, and choosing y to CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y.
As for keeping  this bug report open, well if two day is adequate, for
this kind of message. I don't have a problem with closing this report,
but then again you don't want to close this report then a couple of
kernel versions later see this message again, and then have to
go and file another of the same report, unless the person who fixed
this is positively sure this message, has been taken care of.
As for the fan issue I was talking about in my previous post, please
ignore that, I messed up, I forgot to put into account that
where I reside, we are experiencing a heat wave,("no wonder the fans rev up").
