[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1290337] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down
@Christopher, sorry this is my main computer, so i cannot re-install from scratch (also wouldn't really have the time for this and also lack a separate disk). I assume, just running with old kernels probably won't work given that they are reasonably old? (otherwise, can you point me to a kernel package). BTW: if there is any good tool for kernel-state diagnostics or alike, i gladly would investigate what exactly is causing the slow-down when it happens, but right now i don't really know where to look at (i looked at and played around with obvious sysctl parameters, looked at slaptop, iotop, iostat etc but couldn't get any insights. Maybe something dtrace- like such as systemtap could give further insights but i would still need some starting points on where in kernel code/data-structures i might look best. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290337 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since at least 12.10, symptoms are that as time goes by I/O gets slower and slower (primarily if not even only writes rather than reads).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1290337] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down
@Christopher. Sorry, can't answer that question: i never run anything earlier than quantal on this hardware. On the previous laptop (thinkpad w500) where i run many earlier versions of ubuntu (including quantal for a few weeks) i did not notice that problem but then that laptop did have only 8GB of RAM (compared to the 16GB of the w530) on this one and as mentioned in problem description (and also as mentioned in bug 1107150) the problem seems to appear only as you get more allocated RAM. E.g., after the initial test with 3.15-rc5 and the relative quick arise of the problem, i booted with mem=15000M (resulting in 14362796 total mem instead of 16xx) and so far i've seen the problem less and could (at least temporarily) resolve it using the sysctl drop_caches hack (something which did not work anymore for the previous run with all RAM enabled) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290337 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since at least 12.10, symptoms are that as time goes by I/O gets slower and slower (primarily if not even only writes rather than reads).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1290337] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down
yet another observation: yesterday i run all day with the standard 3.11 kernel with all 16GB RAM. At the end of the day i also got in the state where apt-get update took minutes (tens of them). Interestingly, also, the vm.cache_drop trick did not seem to have any speed-up effect on it. Also note that io-activity accoding to iostat was 100% even though it was so ridiculously slow (and no other noticable activity, e.g., according to iotop). Having finally found an (ugly way) to get nvidia working again i run 3.14 again since yesterday evening. And i do see now the apt-get update anomaly (9 minutes for package read) also on 13.14. During that time according iostat the avgrq-size seemed also to be below 10; avgqu-size fluctuated between 5 and 20 and utilization 20-60%. doing dd measurements as above also was slow (15MB/s) and this time vm.cache_drop trick did not have any positive impact here, contrary to the experiment reported earlier where a /sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=2 sped it up to a normal 90MB/s. BTW: just in case it is relevant, i use a LUKS encrypted LVM with ext4 FS on the encrypted partitions. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290337 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since at least 12.10, symptoms are that as time goes by I/O gets slower and slower (primarily if not even only writes rather than reads).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1290337] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down
@Joseph, thanks for the info and i could install v3.14-rc7-trusty (although i had to switch from nvidia to integrated graphics as nvidia didn't seem to work anymore). The experience is somewhat mixed so far. In the half-day i'm running it i haven't seen really bad behaviour (no multi-minute apt-get updates) but machine still feels more sluggish than it seems to be when running with old kernel and reduced memory. And there certainly seems to be still some anomalies: After booting, logging in X and letting the machine's I/O system settle down to idle (according to htop and iotop) i run repeatedly the following command on the otherwise idle machine: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/disk-test bs=1M count=1k As you can see ... 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 13.5484 s, 79.3 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 14.7879 s, 72.6 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 16.2955 s, 65.9 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 17.5495 s, 61.2 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 19.267 s, 55.7 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 18.9594 s, 56.6 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 19.6092 s, 54.8 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 20.5099 s, 52.4 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 22.3197 s, 48.1 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 20.8351 s, 51.5 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 27.6185 s, 38.9 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 39.5405 s, 27.2 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 55.6986 s, 19.3 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 74.4439 s, 14.4 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 117.431 s, 9.1 MB/s 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 142.33 s, 7.5 MB/s ... the performance got worse and worse. Looking at `iostat -zmx 3' I/O utilization went down to less than 10% in the last iterations. However, as soon as i run a single /sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=2 the dd went up again to 90 MB/s!! So i would be tempted to add the 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream' tag.
