Comment 1 Aron Vrtala 2012-07-05 04:36:24 UTC
I've set up an older machine with Fedora 17. Patchlevel is same.

CPU is however: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920  @ 2.67GHz stepping 04

No hypervisors involved.

No irqbalance messages get logged!

Comment 2 Neil Horman 2012-07-05 13:39:49 UTC
Petr, this probably needs to just get gated on powerthresh not being UINT_MAX.  Can you please work up a patch for that?  Thanks!

Comment 3 Petr Holasek 2012-07-12 14:33:44 UTC
Hi,

fix was commited into upstream: http://code.google.com/p/irqbalance/source/detail?r=4e7df9d0b5416add20fe10925d82f145d3514715

New fedora irqbalance release should hit fedora-testing repo till the end of the week.

Comment 4 Aron Vrtala 2012-07-18 07:17:55 UTC
Hi,

I tried to install new fix from testing repo, still however it displays:

# yum install *irqbalance* --enablerepo=updates-testing
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Package 2:irqbalance-1.0.3-4.fc17.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Should I try to apply the patch myself or wait?

Comment 5 Petr Holasek 2012-07-18 09:22:22 UTC
Hi Aron,

there is some delay in package release, because we want to fix more bugs in this release and unfortunately not all of them are closed yet. Could you please try to test the latest upstream version with commit noted in comment #3 included?

thanks,
Petr H
