Yeah I think it would be a good idea to still have this as a bug. -- Justin P. Mattock --
I didn't follow the discussion, but I may contribute the following information: This message first appears in my logs on May 16. That was with kernel version 2.6.24.5-85.fc8. The kernel I used before that was 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 (May 3). My logs go back to November 8 (2.6.23.1-42.fc8). So we can hardly consider this a regression since 2.6.25, but rather one since 2.6.24? (I'll also note that this message appears quite infrequently here. Only 42 times in 219 boot-ups. So it would be hard to bisect, but I'm guessing the error was introduced somewhere between 2.6.24.4 and 2.6.24.5.) Vegard -- "The animistic metaphor of the bug that maliciously sneaked in while the programmer was not looking is intellectually dishonest as it disguises that the error is the programmer's own creation." -- E. W. Dijkstra, EWD1036 --
You're comparing against Fedora kernels, which often contain patches which haven't got into mainline yet. As in this case. Unless it used to be assembled from separate pieces, there was no "GPE storm detected" message in 2.6.24.N or 2.6.25.N: it was added in 2.6.26-rc1. I sometimes see it too, on a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop. Hugh --
Oh, right. So what exactly is the bug here? That the message appears at all? Or is there another specific change that would cause the warning to trigger once added? Or why do we have bugzilla entries for broken hardware? Is there anything I can do to help the situation as the owner of a machine which exhibits the problem? Thanks for the info :-) Vegard -- "The animistic metaphor of the bug that maliciously sneaked in while the programmer was not looking is intellectually dishonest as it disguises that the error is the programmer's own creation." -- E. W. Dijkstra, EWD1036 --
Hello; What I've been using is acpi_osi=Darwin so I don't have to take the gpe storm detector mechanism out of ec.c The two areas of interest are when not setting a boot option this message is triggered by too many interrupts with BAT0 i.g. /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts "gpe17 on a macbook2,2", Now when using the Darwin option, the interrupts are very little, but at the cost of loosing any battery info but I am receiving a reaction with pommed i.g. unplugging the A/C adapter does dim the screen. Also I'm not sure if the smart battery was designed for the macbook, but when using Darwin option, my system will freeze upon booting(as a note alexy gave me some patches to test on monday, but still was unable to load the module) overall from my perspective; trying to tweak the BAT0 mechanism with it's interrupts could fix this, and/or port the sbs module to be used with the Darwin option with interrupts under control, could also be another option, or have all two working this way the user can decide what they prefferer. Personally tweaking the interrupts with BAT0 seems to be more of an easier solution, but then again could cause other problems elsewhere. -- Justin P. Mattock --
Hi. I also have this problem with 2.6.26 and when it happens I can notice that sometimes gnome-power-manager is slow to respond when I switch to AC from battery and viceversa. Also, sometimes the g-p-m icon disappears and I have to restart the process. I tried two days ago the patch http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=16365&action=view and everything seems to work ok since then. Before that, the message showed up sometimes at boot time, sometimes minutes later, very reliably. This is with a two years old fairly standard HP laptop. Regards, Fabio --
Fabio, Please try http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=16862 instead. Same bug entry, last patch. Regards, Alex. --
On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 3:40 PM, Alexey Starikovskiy I tried this patch; and for some reason I'm still seeing this message(that is when using acpi_osi=Linux). The problem I see is we've got different brands of laptops, and the causes are all different. In my case I'm wondering if there is a way to tweak the interrupts with the battery. just to see if this works -- Justin P. Mattock --
Hi Alex. No good news, I'm afraid. Actually my previous report wasn't correct because with the patch I mentioned the message appeared yesterday night during the hibernate process, so I couldn't notice it. The interesting thing is that it showed up the day after I booted my laptop: usually it took a period between 1 and 13 minutes after boot to trigger and in this case it took more than 2 hours of uptime with 2 suspend and 2 hibernate cycles. With the patch you told me to apply and the previous reverted the message triggered in 12 minutes. Regards, Fabio On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 5:40 PM, Alexey Starikovskiy --
Hi Fabio, There are no bad news in seeing the message, as I tried to say several times in bug report already. We can't fix the hardware. We only could detect hardware flaw, report it (the message), and try to workaround it. So the bad news would be that our workaround causes some unwanted behavior to other features of notebook -- keyboard, special keys, battery & AC status reports, etc. If no such problems were noticed -- there is no bug, and there is no problem. Regards, Alex. --
Hi Alex. Well, I read the bug report but still can't understand why in any kernels < 2.6.26 I don't have any problems with battery reports and in 2.6.26 as soon as the message appears g-p-m starts to behave incorrectly. Anyway, I got back to 25.11 for now, if you have any other workarounds for me to test please let me know. Cheers, Fabio On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 10:37 PM, Alexey Starikovskiy --
I'm up to try any patches, but I need to wait until I find a fix for my linux box i.g. pci is all messed up. -- Justin P. Mattock --

yes; after running a small test of removing options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 out of /etc/modprobe.d I was still receiving this message, but instead of twice in a row like it was doing, I am only seeing this happen occasionally once. -- Justin P. Mattock --
Not sure if it's the same bug or not, this one's been there since before 2.6.25 but I haven't bothered chasing it down before. It's still in 26-rc9-mmotd.

Could be. Yeah I must admit too about being lazy with this one; (spent a few days updating my system with SID); With Googling a little bit, isn't msi disabled by default? if not then maybe setting the boot param is something to look into, as well as tweaking the .config. -- Justin P. Mattock --

I tested a 2.6.26-rc kernel with forcedeth.c from 2.6.25 and it failed in the same way, so I don't think its a regression as such. In any case, with the -rc9 it still fails regularly.

Hi, We've seen a rather lot of fixes for cpu hotplug and the scheduler over the last few weeks. I'm suspecting that this one might also have been fixed unknowingly by one of the other commits (this is backed by the fact that I haven't been able to reproduce _any_ cpu-hotplug-related failure as of the latest mainline kernel), on the other hand I don't know exactly why. I guess I should run a longer test to see if this comes up again. (Oh, maybe it was an RCU-type thing? Nick Piggin recently had a patch that fixed some RCU error. Peter?) Vegard -- "The animistic metaphor of the bug that maliciously sneaked in while the programmer was not looking is intellectually dishonest as it disguises that the error is the programmer's own creation." -- E. W. Dijkstra, EWD1036 --
Oh, wait, this probably wasn't a regression in the first place. It's probably just obscure and rare enough that it was never discovered earlier. I'm in favour of closing this and reopening if it reappears. Or if you simply just want to take it out of the regression list, that's also fine with me.

This patch is disputed. See the rest of the thread. Maybe some subtle Commit bdb2b8cab4392ce41ddfbd6773a3da3334daf836. Linus --
We haven't heard back yet from Johannes to confirm that the fix really works. If it does, IMO the patch should go into 2.6.26.1. (In fact it might not be so easy to tell, since the failure is caused be a race. Perhaps it would be best to submit the patch in any case.) Alan Stern --
I haven't had a chance to apply the patch, but given that to cause the oops to happen I had to unplug/replug the device at random intervals for probably 10 minutes (yes, it took me that long to figure out I had put an SDHC card into an SD reader) I suppose it really won't be easy to tell. johannes
Add printk(KERN_ALERT "Unplug now!\n"); ssleep(10); to the start of slave_configure() in drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c. Then it should be very easy to trigger the failure. :-) Assuming the failure does occur without the patch, see if it still occurs once the patch is in place. Alan Stern --
Yes, it occurs without the patch and not with the patch, thanks! johannes
Okay, thanks for testing. I will submit the patch for 2.6.26.1. Alan Stern --
