top.out

Description of problem:
*/ On my Thinkpad T400 [kslowd???] kernel processes take too much CPU (see top.out attached file). This issue make control the desktop session impossible.
*/ It is reproducible on distribution F14 kernel. Fedora13 kernel on F14 is OK without this issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
*/ kernel-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
*/ Boot to F14 and wait few minutes.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot to F14
2. Login to Gnome (desktop) session
3. Wait few minutes.
  
Actual results:
*/ desktop control is impossible (mouse is skipping, ...)
*/ CPU usage is high

Expected results:
*/ smooth control of my desktop system
*/ CPU idle

The same problem with Lenovo Thinkpad T400.
Unusable desktop for 2 or 3 minutes.
Fedora 13.

Comment 3 Stanislaw Gruszka 2010-11-23 21:57:26 UTC
Please attach output of something like this "for ((i=0;i<10;i++)) do echo STACK ; cat /proc/$PID/stack ; done", where $PID is kslowd process id.

Comment 4 Fred 2010-11-27 09:03:10 UTC
I have the same here. Kernels tried : 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686 and 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686. Problem occured in both.

Result of the command you asked for, for one of the processes :

Comment 7 Tomislav Vujec 2010-12-03 19:40:13 UTC
Same thing here on X200. Although sometimes the problem goes away, but not fully, I still see kslowd on top way too often. And it only happens in X, which leads me to connect this with the VGA monitor polling code problem.

Comment 8 Fred 2010-12-05 15:22:44 UTC
I don't know if there are any back side for this but I tried this in order to slow percentage of CPU slow-work can use.
kernel.slow-work.vslow-percentage = 1

initial setting was 50.

Comment 9 Jaroslav Pulchart 2010-12-06 12:13:27 UTC
Setting "kernel.slow-work.vslow-percentage" to "1", help with system's responses. Desktop is now controllable (but not best), and the the load is still high.

Comment 10 Kyle McMartin 2010-12-09 20:29:44 UTC
Hi Jaroslav,

Could you try the rawhide 2.6.36/2.6.37-rc5 kernel and see if its fixed there so we can backport it?

--Kyle

Comment 11 Jaroslav Pulchart 2010-12-10 07:34:13 UTC
I rebuild F15 (devel.) kernel 2.6.36.1 from rpm src package (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=207513) for F14, installed it and used it. The issue seems to "disappear" (there are none kslowd processes). I will send some status later this day after the up-time will be higher.

Comment 12 Jaroslav Pulchart 2010-12-10 09:09:58 UTC
Unfortunately issue is back :(, uptime ~ 1h 14min. Now it is in [kworker/0:0] and [kworker/1:1] processes.

Same behavior with kernel 2.6.37.0-rc5 (up-time 1h 11min).

Just as Jaroslav, setting the parameter to 1 seemed to help, but problem occurs again.

Comment 16 Jaroslav Pulchart 2010-12-13 08:53:44 UTC
I switched cables to external monitor => DVI disconnected, VGA connected. Issue is still here, stack is different:

Comment 17 Jaroslav Pulchart 2010-12-13 09:15:46 UTC
It looks like this issue is less "visible" when I connect my external monitor with both cables (VGA and DVI) after X is started (otherwise X will not start). 

Sometimes kworker process take CPU and desktop is uncontrollable for a ~1-2 second (repeatedly in few minutes), stack of kworker show i2c_transfer function. I can use my desktop and do work with this workaround, but again is not best experience...

Comment 19 Jan Holcapek 2010-12-21 20:31:54 UTC
Same symptoms.

Setup: Lenovo ThinkPad R400; up-to-date Fedora 14:

kernel-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64,
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.12.0-6.fc14.1.x86_64

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

However, on Lenovo ThinkPad T510, w/ the same up-to-date Fedora 14, I don't experience this (need to check PCI id of VGA controller to make sure they're the same).

I also notice these messages in /var/log/messages:

Xorg.0.log piece

Finally, this sequence of log messages is repeating all over again.

Seems like they have something to do with intel_{hdmi,crt}_detect functions calls that can be seen in kslowd stack traces.

Comment 23 Kyle McMartin 2010-12-21 21:23:36 UTC
If you boot with drm_kms_helper.poll=0 on the command line, does it help at all?

As promised, here's Lenovo T510 PCI id of VGA:

Could we get whole /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if one exists), dmesg from the moment when the system is slow, attached to this bug as separate uncompressed attachments to this bug please?

Thank you

Comment 26 Jaroslav Pulchart 2010-12-22 20:29:30 UTC
I will attach it at Monday, I'm out now and without access to my Laptop.

Kyle, it actually does seem to help: several hours uptime and no sign of kslowd ruling the CPUs.

Hi

This helps GREATLY

Thanks!

Comment 37 Jaroslav Pulchart 2011-01-10 09:27:52 UTC
Yes, drm_kms_helper.poll=0 kernel parameter helps for me too.

I don't know what this parameter do in drm. Is there some documentation about drm_kms_helper.* kernel parameters or about drm parameters in general?

Comment 38 Grant Williamson 2011-02-21 18:56:16 UTC
We are seeing a similar issue on RHEL 6.0, should I open a separate ticket for this?

You should contact redhat support I think.

Yes, definitively.

Comment 41 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 16:59:27 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
