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?)

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.

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.

This patch is disputed. See the rest of the thread. Maybe some subtle
timing detail?

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.)

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.

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.

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 :-)

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.

just tried it with rc9-git12 and now it seems to work but i get a
warning:

NTFS volume version 3.1.
NTFS-fs warning (device sda1): load_system_files(): Unsupported volume flags 0x4000 encountered.
NTFS-fs error (device sda1): load_system_files(): Volume has unsupported flags set. Mounting read-only. Run chkdsk and mount in Windows.

i'll try to boot into windows and run chkdsk to see if it makes the
warning go away.

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.

Jul 13 05:53:47 turing-police kernel: [ 1459.168266] ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:588: hda_intel: No response from codec, disabling MSI: last cmd=0x012f1c00
Jul 13 05:53:48 turing-police kernel: [ 1460.169265] ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:601: hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x012f1c00

Dell Latitude D820, x86_64 kernel. Audio device is:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)

dmidecode says it's a "Sigmatel 9200".

I've been lazy chasing this one, because all that happens is that MSI gets
turned off, and it keeps going without it...

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.

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.)

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.

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.

Indeed.

Yes, it occurs without the patch and not with the patch, thanks!

Okay, thanks for testing. I will submit the patch for 2.6.26.1.

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.

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

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.

Fabio

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

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.

Hi Fabio.

I wrote some GPE fixes for my Asus laptop and they need some wider
testing :-). I think I found why we get GPE storms and how to deal
with them.

I posted them on the lists a series of three patches, but I neglected
to CC any potential testers. For convenience I squished them into a
single patch and posted them in Bugzilla.

My bug: <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11089>
Patch: <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?
id=16886&action=view>

The risky part of the fixes removes the GPE interrupt storm check and
the GPE polling mode. So you won't see the "disabling EC GPE" message,
and I'm hoping this will stop g-p-m misbehaving for you.

I'm not sure what could happen if it's broken somehow :-). If you
have ACPI hotkeys (i.e. running acpi_listen shows events when you
press hotkeys), please check they still work. If not, you should have
at least one button that generates an ACPI event - the power button.
So it would be great if you could check the power button still works
as normal. (On my computer, g-p-m handles the power button and pops
up a logout/shutdown prompt).

Thanks
Alan

The symptoms for me (still present in 2.6.26) were that ACPI hotkeys
were very laggy, and your patches fix that completely. Nice work :-)

BTW, I have an Asus V6VA.

Thanks.

Well, I read in another thread that there are some issues with this
patches. Anyway, I'm now running .26 with your patch since yesterday,
tried 3 suspend/resume cycles and 2 hibernate/resume cycles and
everything seems to be fine.

It looks that it's really solving the problem for me.

Thanks for your work. Cheers,
Fabio
