           Summary: kernel randomly loses all interrupts from my UHCI or
                    SATA controllers.
    Kernel Version: 2.6.16
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         Submitter: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


This has been going on for a while (since mid-2005, at least), and it hasn't
magically fixed itself, so I'm finally filing a bug.

Distribution: Fedora Core 5

Hardware Environment:
MSI Master2 FAR based dual-Opteron system.

Problem Description:

Randomly (but fairly often), I stop getting interrupts from my SATA controller
or my UHCI controllers or both -- the counters in /proc/interrupts stop
increasing and I get libata timeout errors or my USB HID mouse movement gets
erratic (because the driver is polling instea of waiting for interrupts).

The devices still work -- IO to the disk will (eventually) complete and my mouse
or gamepad or whatever still work (but not very well).

If I remove and then reload the driver modules (sata_via or uhci_hcd) or
unbind/bind the devices in sysfs, the problem immediately goes away.

Steps to reproduce:
It's random, so there aren't any.

I think GL usage may be a factor, because if I disable all my GL screensavers
and don't otherwise use GL, the incidence goes down (but doesn't stop 
altogether).

Likewise, network activity may also be a factor, because this almost always
occurs when I'm downloading something to the SATA disk with BitTorrent (although
that may be just when I'm more likely to notice it).

Of course, it'll also happen when neither GL or network activity is going on, so
I have no idea what is actually going on.
