Interrupt problems on NetBSD/i386 5.0.1

Hi,

since my box had been upgraded from 3.0.1 to 5.0.1, there
seem to be problems related to interrupt handling. I had
originally reported these problems on netbsd-users@ (without
much feed-back) but maybe the tech-kern@ list is more
appropriate.

Currently, my gut feeling is that the "viaide lost interrupt"
problem is unrelated to the other ones and might stem from
an implicit setting of a controller register performed when
the autoconfig procedure finds a wd attached to the controller.
If there is no wd attached to the controller, the registers are
left in a different state. Could this be an explanation?

Although I first thought that the network problem was somehow
related to ACPI, there are still effects which show up when
both audio and network are active simultaneously:

1. Sometimes traffic via rtk0 stops and resumes after ifconfig
   down and then up again. I have once seen a message "rtk0:
   watchdog timeout" or similar on the console.

2. Audio output (e.g. DVD playback) "stumbles": you hear some
   sort of echo or chopping; maybe there is a sequencing
   problem like the second half of a (say) 1k block of audio
   data being played before the first half. The probability
   for this effect seems to be correlated to the amount of
   network traffic: if there is no program running concurrently
   which generates (occasional) network traffic of significant
   amount, audio playback works correctly over long periods in
   time.

Currently I am not sure whether to file a PR as I don't have
a clear picture of the error(s) yet. On the other hand, I have
no idea where to look next. Should I file PRs nevertheless?

What I can say is that I have not seen the network/audio
problem on 3.0.1. I cannot state whether the lost interrupt
on viaide would also show up on 3.0.1 as I have no 3.0.1
reference setup without any hard disk connected to that
controller.


Kind regards
Ingolf

Hi,

after upgrading (from 3.0.1) to 5.0.1, I occasionally encounter
lock-ups of different subsystems: sometimes the X server freezes after
hitting ENTER in the un-lock dialog (KDE), sometimes the audio driver
becomes unresponsive and threads doing audio output freeze during
device I/O, sometimes network traffic stops and only continues after
switching the interface down and up again. Also, cd0 drive frequently
shows

viaide0:1:0: lost interrupt
        type: atapi tc_bcount: 1028 tc_skip: 1024

(The latter might also be the reason for *very* slow start-up of video
DVDs in vlc.)

I first suspected a problem with interrupt assignment as the source of
the problem (configuration via ACPI lead to irq 10 for both auvia0 and
rtk0. Removing ACPI support from the kernel seems to avoid the above
network problem but still I have the other problems which might also
be interrupt related.

I have no idea where to look next. Do you have any advice? My current
dmesg output is included below.

Kind regards
Ingolf

BTW, neither removing DRM support from the kernel nor enabling the
primary channel of viaide0 changes the situation.

Hi,

my NetBSD/i386 5.0.1 box reports several

viaide0:1:0: lost interrupt
       type: atapi tc_bcount: 1028 tc_skip: 1024

when I try to play a video DVD and when there is no hard disk
connected to the IDE controller. Is this normal? If not: can this
behavior definitively be attributed to a hardware problem? Or do you
see a chance that there is a bug in one of the associated drivers?

I have checked the following configurations. "Problem" means that the
above lost interrupt messages are reported (or "viaide0:0:0" when the
DVD drive is connected to channel 1), "ok" means: the video DVD
started without problems.

|  C1P  |  C1S  |  C2P  |  C2S  | result
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------
|    disabled   |  DVD  | DVDRW | problem
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------
|  N/C  |  N/C  |  DVD  | DVDRW | problem
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------
|  DVD  | DVDRW |  N/C  |  N/C  | problem
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------
|  DVD  |  N/C  | DVDRW |  N/C  | problem
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------
|  HDD  |  N/C  |  DVD  | DVDRW |   ok
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------

Legend:
C1P: primary device on channel 1
C1S: secondary device on channel 1
C2P: primary device on channel 2
C2S: secondary device on channel 2
disabled: the channel has been disabled via BIOS setting
N/C: no device connected
DVD: DVD drive which is to be used for video playback
DVDRW: DVD burning device; not used for video playback
HDD: a (bootable) hard disk


Kind regards
Ingolf
