Hmm, I noticed this side effect: On both my X200 and another X61s, the USB devices sometimes do not work after initialization by the kernel when acpi=noirq is set.

Yes, this is still an issue. I am running Karmic amd64 on a Thinkpad X200, and had ca. 100-200 Rescheduling Interrupts wakeups per second. After booting with acpi=noirq, these were reduced to ca. 10-20/s, saving me another 0.5W of power consumption.

genirq: reenable a nobody cared disabled irq when a new driver arrives
Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared
interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver
loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a
spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line.
I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not
work anymore so I can not verify).
Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and
mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the
interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq
line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the
spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the
one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box
usable again.
Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis
in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware
before starting the new kernel. This patch should reduce the need for
using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.

Hello again Colin My happiness with noapic has waned, because I am now getting hard lockups requiring a power cycle. It seems to happen when I am using Skype and waggle my USB mouse around, so I guess it's causing a lot of interrupts and overwhelming something.

Just my two cents. I accidentally installed 32-bit version (out of habit) on my new Latitude D630, and noticed the same huge mispresentation of wakeups. But now with 64-bit Ubuntu the problem is not there, so it's probably something that depends on the architecture- speficic code in Linux.

Hi, i got the same behavior with a Compal HEL80. At the beginning, i had something around 30k wakeups per second. I tweaked the system a little bit, disabled yenta, hci_usb and all pcmcia related stuff and got only a very poor improvement. Then i tried the acpi=noirq option, with no impact. Because i read that other people had problems putting their laptop into standby with acpi=noirq, i tried it. And, surprise: after returning from standby, powertop displayed me something between 15 and 40 wakeups per second ... nice ;) I restarted ubuntu without the acpi=noirq option and had the same behavior again ... before standby: 30k wups/s, after standby: something around 30. Sometimes acpi causes ~100 wakeups, but even while typing and using an usb-mouse and an usb-keyboard, the wakeup-counter stays around 75~125 wups/s Maybe this could help you too fix the problem ... and the important question: shows your ubuntu the same behavior or am i only lucky. with kind regards Markus PS: I'm using the stock kernel: 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux -- Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Colin. Was absent for a bit but have to come back here with some clearing. You said: The [EMAIL PROTECTED] issue was in fact related to bug 177895, which turned out to be a few issues, one of which was Opera killing the laptop with excessive amounts of wakeups.. it's quite a drawn out saga. It is not related. Not in a way you're writing here. Yep - my overloaded opera with milions of mails, usenet and rss news counted in tousands causes up to 8k wakeups per second (with 4000~8000 context switches / s). It is quite isolated issue and can be omitted. There is also another problem - massive amout of interrupts from nowhere. Maybe it's a bug in hardware/misonfigured or broken BIOS/ broken ACPI table / interrupt strom and many more. Problem was gone for about a month, but today it reappeared.. Without any couse i've got 40 thousand of wakeups.

Hi Jean-Baptiste, The [EMAIL PROTECTED] issue was in fact related to bug 177895, which turned out to be a few issues, one of which was Opera killing the laptop with excessive amounts of wakeups.. it's quite a drawn out saga. As for the WikiPage, it was originally written on the back of addressing bug 177895, so it's not entirely applicable for all cases, I just thought it may be pulling a reference into this bug report just incase it helped. I will review the WikiPage in respect to this bug and try and make it more usable. I suggest booting with the noapic kernel option and doing: (cat /proc/interrupts; sleep 10; cat /proc/interrupts) interrupts.log and then using the dualcore.awk awk script (attached much earlier in the bug report), and do the following: awk -f dualcore.awk interrupts.log irq_delta.log And repeat this with the normal kernel boot (without the noapic option). Attach the results and I will see if there is anything we can do to check the IRQ routing.

Julian, The yenta_socket kernel module has a module parameter that is worth trying: pwr_irqs_off=1 so can you reload the module with this to see if this helps. The module parameter has the oblique note stating: Force IRQs off during power-on of slot. Use only when seeing IRQ storms! which may help, but I am unsure if this is the once-on power on of the device, or if the device is powered on/off in many times over an extended period, hence you see the sporadic IRQ storms. -- Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Julian, Point taken about the Won't Fix - I will change it back to In progress: was premature of me, so apologies for that. The difficulty we have that if there is something wrong in the DSDT and the kernel uses this to configure the hardware, then we are at the mercy of the DSDT to be correct, else we get these sort of issues. I will investigate why this does not occur with gutsy. As for the yenta_socket, I will dig into this, but again I suspect that if it is being misconfigured from the BIOS APIC settings, then we are going to see problems unless we fix the BIOS or tell the kernel to ignore the BIOS. I agree with the statement that ' Linux should run on un-modified firmware, this may be considered as a kernel or ACPI bug' - if it's an ACPI bug we are at the mercy of the manufacturer getting things right. If it's a kernel bug in yenta_socket or the APIC handling then I will look into an appropriate quirk to fix it.

[Bug 145377] Re: Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery
Hi Colin, I'd like to hack DSDT if I had time and skill. Regarding ACPI issue and quoting ACPI project ( http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php ) : In the early days of Linux/ACPI, DSDT modifications were common to work around both BIOS bugs and Linux bugs. However, the stated goal of the Linux/ACPI project today is that Linux should run on un-modified firmware. Thus, the DSDT database at the old http://acpi.sourceforge.net web site is now largely a historical artifact. As Linux should run on un-modified firmware, this may be considered as a kernel or ACPI bug. However, I will also try the latest vanilla kernel as issues like Rescheduling interrupts and huge number of interrupts due to cpuidle bug have been adressed in 2.6.25-rc and see if it changes something to this behaviour. Thank you for your documentation effort as it may help many people with wake-ups issues. But the title of your Wiki page is a little bit confusing and not totally related to what we are facing here. As said Julian in his comment above, the problem is not only due to a high level of rescheduling interrupts. It's a huge number of wakeups that we can't account for ( 10K Wups/s but Rescheduling interrupts is around 100/s) you're page should distinguish both problems.

Hi there Colin Jean-Baptiste is right, and I feel quite strongly that Won't Fix is an inappropriate result to this bug. To quote a cliche, expecting my granny to hack menu.lst or download a BIOS update or fix the DSDT is a non-starter. The kernel should work properly on this particular type of broken hardware (and in fact before Gutsy it did not exhibit this problem), especially since other OSes appear capable of doing so. Also as Jean-Baptiste says, the *extremely* high number of interrupts is nothing to do with the rescheduling interrupts wake-up, this is clearly a problem with yenta_socket, which has exacerbated the problem from the Gutsy 5k wakeups/sec to the Hardy 20k wakeups/sec.

[Bug 145377] Re: Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery
Hi Julian, This is a moot point about it being a kernel problem. It appears that the if the kernels does exactly as the ACPI configurations then we see the problem, however, telling the kernel to ignore the ACPI IRQ config we don't see the problem. This does not mean it's a kernel issue per sa, it means that the ACPI config is probably not quite right. The fact that Vista does it right may mean that Vista may ignore the ACPI IRQ routing much like when we tell the Linux kernel to do so by the acpi=noirq setting. If you provide the output from: lspc -v cat /proc/interrupts from your machine booted in acpi=noirq configuration and also in the default configuration then I maybe able to see what is wrong with the BIOS ACPI IRQ routing and perhaps suggest a better workaround. However, these are workarounds for your BIOS ACPI settings, there is no kernel fix as this is not a kernel bug in my opinion.

Jean-Baptiste, Thank you for your contribution here - you've found appropriate workaround for a IRQ routing bug (in the BIOS?). I suspect this is an ACPI issue and not a kernel issue, mainly because the kernel is trying to follow the settings as defined in the BIOS and hence it can only do what it is told. We could put a lot of effort here to probably find there is no kernel bug, but a ACPI misconfiguration. If one is feeling adventurous enough, the final step is to find out the buggy settings and override them with a new DSTD (links have been supplied above in one of my postings on the steps required). I will mark this this as Won't Fix tomorrow as I am confident this is not a kernel issue. If you think this is unsatisfactory, please let me know and we can discuss what to do next.

[Bug 145377] Re: Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery
Hi Julian, If acpi=noirq seems to solve the problem then it's most probable that your ACPI DSTD is causing the problem. One could look and see if an updated ACPI DSTD is available and either load this at boot time, or see if there is a BIOS upgrade for your machine. A good place to look for updated DSTD's is http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?manufacturer=Dellname=Latitude+D630 There is a discussion of overriding one's DSDT (generic discussion) at : http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php I'd refer you to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ACPIBattery for notes on how to compile and load a new DSDT for Ubuntu. Mind you, if acpi=noirq works for you then you don't have to got to the lengths of overriding the DSTD, just edit you grub loader menu /boot/grub/menu.lst (using your favourite editor but sudo'd) to make it a permanent change. Note that it's not necessarily guaranteed that the updated DSTD will solve this particular issue, it just may be worth looking at just in case it solves other issues too.

[Bug 145377] Re: Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery
wtgee Have a MacBook Pro 17 (not Santa Rosa) running Heron and started playing with powertop and am seeing some of the same issues. My kernel IPI interrupts are taking a good 50%+ of my wakeups although I am only seeing 300-900 rather than in the 1000. What should be normal at this point? Powertop seems to think you can get a system down to 20 wakeups and I pretty much however around the 300-900 mark. Good question on what is normal. The thing to see is how many interrupts and/or wakeups are occurring on your machine and see if that looks reasonable. For example, running Opera will push the number of wakeups to a very high number and this will push up the number of rescheduling interrupts. Looking at /proc/interrupts will show you the overall interrupt activity. Looking at top will show you the busiest apps. Looking at the cs field of vmstat gives some idea of context switches a second which could show you how busy your system is. Each person has different hardward and a different mix of apps they run, all of which add to the mix of how many wakeups and interrupts a second they see on their system. The scheduler will try to schedule the load across cores and hence you will see a certain level of rescheduling interrupts related to a function of wakeups and interrupts on your system. A rule of thumb is if you boot your machine into single user mode and look at the activity from powertop and it looks very busy then look to see if the problem is due an interrupt misconfiguration (you will see that if you look at /proc/interrupts over a period of time). If that is so, then it could be (maybe) a BIOS misconfiguration. Otherwise, system activity is generally due to some over aggressive wakeups in some applications, and perhaps one needs to stop these one by one to see which one may be the culprit. Hope this helps as a starting point.

Have a MacBook Pro 17 (not Santa Rosa) running Heron and started playing with powertop and am seeing some of the same issues. My kernel IPI interrupts are taking a good 50%+ of my wakeups although I am only seeing 300-900 rather than in the 1000. What should be normal at this point? Powertop seems to think you can get a system down to 20 wakeups and I pretty much however around the 300-900 mark. -- Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 145377] Re: Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery
exactt, The acpi=noirq works for some people as their BIOS ACPI DSTD is sometimes not quite correct and which can confuse drivers that don't get the correct IRQ setup, so it's a useful rune to try to factor out dodgy BIOS settings. However, now we know it does not work for you we need to look at a different way of cornering this issue. I hope to get back to you early next week on this.

[Bug 145377] Re: Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery
Colin, that was an interesting read on bug 177895. I think that in those comments there are two separate issues: 1. People complaining about kernel IPI : Rescheduling interrupts 2. Some people noticing the larger interrupt count caused by the issue on this bug report (possibly yenta_socket). Anyway, I've got the three logs to attach here. I made sure that when I was capturing the logs that powertop had seen the system go into crazy mode with 10-20k interrupts/sec. I can't see *anything* unusual in the logs :( It's looking very much like a kernel bug *somewhere*, particularly since reloading yenta_socket will fix it, albeit temporarily.

Julian, Yep, from the logs you supplied the system looks quite normal. I would expect that the irq_delta.log would have captured some kind of abnormal activity. My initial thought is that I should now put some debug into PowerTop to see where it thinks the system is busy. Meanwhile I will also look at what the yenta_socket.

Hi there, Some things to try: 1. See what interrupts are most active: (cat /proc/interrupts; sleep 10; cat /proc/interrupts) interrupts.log and then using the attached awk script, do the following: awk -f dualcore.awk interrupts.log irq_delta.log This will give some idea of the most active interrupts on your system. 2. Obtain a log of busy processes using top: top -b -d 10 -n 6 top.log 3. See overall system activity (I'm interested in the context switches/second) using vmstat : vmstat 1 -n 60 vmstat.log 4. and attach all these logs to the bug report. Thanks, Colin Note: I'd also like you refer you to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/177895 which discusses some of these points at length. ** Attachment added: dualcore.awk http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13300276/dualcore.awk -- Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After many many tests (latest with 8.04 / kernel 2.6.24-12-generic) I'm still unable to find an event making the system go into this state. Sometimes it occurs after a few minutes, and sometimes not for hours. Obviously this is very strange. Blacklisting yenta_socket doesn't fix the problem. But one thing is for sure, when it occurs, modprobing yenta_socket reset the wakeups rate to a standard value.

Bizarrely, this problem has now gone away for me. I've kept an eye on powertop for the 2 days since it went and not once have I seen it heading over 1000 wakeups per second unless I am doing something intensive. There must have been an update that fixed it, but who knows what given the huge number of daily updates at this point in the cycle. My only concern now is that this: 52.6% (116.4) kernel IPI : Rescheduling interrupts seems to be causing most of the wakeups now. This did not happen on Gutsy.
