Description Szombathelyi György 2007-10-05 22:44:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
The F7 xen kernel in Dom0 throws the following into the syslog in every 
minute:

BUG: at kernel/irq/manage.c:33 synchronize_irq()

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.20-2931 and 2936

How reproducible:

Just install F7 xen kernel to a IBM x3400 with an extra 3Com 905 (PCI ID: 
10b7:9200). I suspect from the backtrace that the problem is in the 3com 
driver. Also there's a similar report on the xen mailing list: 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-09/msg00620.html

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a 3Com905 network card on x86_64 Dom0
2. Watch the syslog messages in every minute
3.
  
Actual results:
Lot of kernel BUG messages

Expected results:
No BUG messages

Additional info:
Previous (before the 2931 version) kernels didn't have this bug. Actually it 
doesn't seem this to cause any other problem, the machine had more than one 
month uptime when I cached this in syslog.
