Description Need Real Name 2001-05-13 01:31:47 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-2.14.10 i586)

Description of problem:
I have discovered that if I plug IDE drives into both channels of the
Promise Ultra66 controller in my DEC Celebris 5133/DP (dual Pentium 133
machine) and access drives on both channels at the same time, *bad
things* can happen: lost interrupts leading to filesystem corruption.

I discovered the problem initially when I plugged an ATAPI CDRW
drive into the second IDE channel and attempted to burn a disk using
cdrecord.   That caused lost interrupts, and kernel messages looking
roughly as follows:

kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_lostirq func only: 13
kernel: hdf: lost interrupt
kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_lostirq func only: 13
kernel: hdg: lost interrupt
kernel: hdf: timeout waiting for DMA
kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hdf: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }

I can't give you the exact errors, because shortly thereafter the
/var filesystem got trashed and the log files were too smashed for
fsck to be able to recover them.

After replacing the CDRW with a hard drive, I got similar errors with
a large file copy (CD-ROM image) leaving me to assume that the problem
was not drive related.  Updating to the most recent kernel from Red
Hat's Rawhide distribution did not fix the problem.

I tried rebooting in uniprocessor mode, but continued to see problems
with lost interrupts.  Then, on a hunch, I tried booting in uniprocessor
mode with the ``noapic'' option, and the problem of ``lost interrupts''
seems to have vanished, allowing me to use my CD-RW drive to create
disks. That said, one attempt to burn a CD at 8x speed produced the
following error:

kernel: ide-scsi: CoD != 0 in idescsi_pc_intr
kernel: hdg: ATAPI reset complete
kernel: hdg: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete
DataRequest }
kernel: hdg: drive not ready for command

I've enclosed some information about the machine.  If you need more
details, please let me know.

    M.E.O.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect drives to both channels
2.Boot without disabling the IO-APIC
3.Copy data between drives on the two channels
	

Actual Results:  lost interrupts, corrupted filesystems

Expected Results:  normal data transfer between drives

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-13 08:19:27 UTC
Quick question: Are you using the special 80 ribbon cables for the promise
controller ?

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2001-05-13 19:17:57 UTC
The two drives on the primary channel use the 80-wire cable, but the
drive on the secondary channel is using a 40-wire cable.  My
understanding was that the ATAPI CDRW (and the old 1GB drive I also
tested on that channel) drive dose not support transfer rates faster
than Ultra/33 performance, so it was fine to use a 40-wire cable in that case.

I'd be happy to buy and try an 80-wire cable for that channel, but I'm
not sure that it would change things.


Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-13 20:14:25 UTC
To get things clear: you never saw problems while copying stuff
from disk 0 to disk 1 or other way around (I mean, both disks on the first
channel), just from second-to-first channel ?

Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-13 20:30:20 UTC
Other question: does it happen if you disable IDE on the device in question?
(eg "hdparm -d0 /dev/hdf")

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2001-05-13 20:48:45 UTC
I've been using the two drives on the primary channel pretty
heavily (moving huge files between them) for several months,
without seeing any problems.  Prior to installing RH 7.1,
I ran my own custom kernel which had the backported IDE
patches so that I could use the Promise controller.

To answer your other question, I tried turning off DMA (with
``hdparm -d0'') on the drives, but it didn't help.  The lost
interrupt problem persisted.

FWIW, I installed another OS just to double-check my hardware
configuration, and everything appears to work fine there.  That,
combined with the fact that turning off the IO-APIC and SMP seems to
fix the problem in Linux leads me to believe that it is a software
rather than hardware problem.


Comment 6 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-13 21:20:27 UTC
What version of the Promise bios is this ?

Comment 7 Need Real Name 2001-05-13 21:49:26 UTC
It runs the 2.0 BIOS, which is the latest one available from Promise.
(I flash upgraded it shortly after gettting the card).


Comment 8 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:38:59 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.
