Subject: 2.6.9-mm1: NForce3 problem (IRQ sharing issue?)

Hi,

I have a problem with 2.6.9-mm1 on an AMD64 NForce3-based box. Namely, after
some time in X, USB suddenly stops working and sound goes off simultaneously
(it's quite annoying, as I use a USB mouse ;-)). It is 100% reproducible and
it may be related to the sharing of IRQ 5:

rafael@albercik:~> cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 3499292 XT-PIC timer
1: 7135 XT-PIC i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 6945 XT-PIC NVidia nForce3, ohci_hcd
8: 0 XT-PIC rtc
9: 1416 XT-PIC acpi, yenta
10: 2 XT-PIC ehci_hcd
11: 37266 XT-PIC SysKonnect SK-98xx, yenta, ohci1394, ohci_hcd
12: 13781 XT-PIC i8042
14: 16 XT-PIC ide0
15: 23601 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
LOC: 3498657
ERR: 1
MIS: 0

(NVidia nForce3 is a sound chip, snd_intel8x0). After it happens I can't
reboot the box cleanly (the ohci-hcd driver cannot be reloaded) and it does
not leave any traces in the log.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Greets,
RJW

Beats me. Does the interrupt count stop increasing?

In principle I could, but I have no such problems with the 2.6.9 kernel,
although the APIC etc., settings are the same. Which means there's a
regression and that's the real issue.

Have you tried disabling ioapic?
I also lost a lot of input-related interrupts when I started using 2.6
kernels on my NForce3 laptop. Disabling ioapic was the only thing that has
made it usable.
Seems like Nvidia even in their third try can't wire a correct APIC.

Yes, it does.

Moreover, 2.6.10-rc1 has this problem too, but here the network adapter
stopped working along with the USB (as you can see above, it shares an IRQ
with the USB too). Also, this time I was able to reload the ohci-hcd module
(it didn't help) and I got these messages:

That's probably the nforce3 audio device which is an intel part.

Could you boot 2.6.10-rc1 with the 'noapic' kernel parameter and you may
as well remove that pci=routeirq parameter, then send dmesg. Something
appears hosed with respect to IOAPIC setup and i think ACPI is having
trouble doing the fallback to PIC mode.

I booted with noapic and without pci=routeirq, although I think it's still
necessary for suspend. The output of dmesg is attached (well, it's all I can
currently produce - I don't know how to get anything better).

I think that was an -mm thing only at some point, but it's not in
mainline.

So did the system still misbehave? What happened?

Yup. You're right it's not necessary.

So far, so good. The problem has not happened yet, so I think it won't.
Still, I have no such problems with 2.6.9*, although I do not boot them with
noapic ...

Thanks for your help anyway,

Ok, perhaps you shouldn't thank me ;) I actually sortof kinda broke your
box... The reason why it worked before was because the kernel defaulted to
disabling the IOAPIC on all nforce3 based systems but we found out that
most nforce3 systems are actually work with the IOAPIC if we just ignore
some bogus ACPI BIOS information. Your system happens to be one of the
more broken ones, i'd actually like to try debug your problem a bit
further, could you open up a bugzilla entry at bugzilla.kernel.org and
email me when you're done. In the meantime, just keep booting with
'noapic'

Thanks!

Thanks Rafael,
We'll work on it from there then.
