SubjectRe: Catching NForce2 lockup with NMI watchdog - found?
From
Date
Ok.. I decided I would try the patch out.. here are the results:

Interrupts before patch: (booted with nmi-watchdog=2)

CPU0
0: 2863919 XT-PIC timer
1: 7851 IO-APIC-edge i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
8: 2 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
12: 104453 IO-APIC-edge i8042
14: 26951 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 8490 IO-APIC-edge ide1
19: 211976 IO-APIC-level radeon@PCI:3:0:0
21: 17303 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, NVidia nForce2, eth0
22: 3 IO-APIC-level ohci1394
NMI: 0

Interrupts after patch: (booted with nmi-watchdog=2)
CPU0
0: 435688 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 2714 IO-APIC-edge i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
8: 2 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
12: 5490 IO-APIC-edge i8042
14: 16831 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 392 IO-APIC-edge ide1
19: 9931 IO-APIC-level radeon@PCI:3:0:0
21: 3980 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, NVidia nForce2, eth0
22: 3 IO-APIC-level ohci1394
NMI: 0
LOC: 435246
ERR: 0

All the interrupts are the same...except:
0, timer is now IO-APIC-edge.

Im not getting any NMI counts.. should I use nmi-watchdog=1?


dmesg differences:

1.
after:
..TIMER: vector=0x31 pin1=2 pin2=0

before:
..TIMER: vector=0x31 pin1=2 pin2=-1

2.
after:
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...
..... (found pin 0) ...works.
number of MP IRQ sources: 16.

before:
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... works.
number of MP IRQ sources: 15.


Ian, from looking back, you have an A7N8X-X bios 1007.
Interesting that my USB hcis are still sharing IRQs there.
Any idea how I can get them apart, or if I should try.
My system was pretty stable as I've stated.. but the patch has changed
things slightly re the timer.

I've run hdparm about 25 times... and as its almost 3am I'm going to let
this thing idle for a few hours like this.
