https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335086 Summary: Too many wakeups with "processor" kernel module Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mwelinder@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I boot OpenSUSE 10.3, let things settle down a bit, and then powertop tells me that there are ~50 wakeups per second. Fine. I leave the system for a while and come back. 30000 wakeups per second. Not fine. powertop does not actually tell me what is waking up the system. The top cause has 11 wakeups per second. Experimentation shows that the cause is the processor kernel module. If I do toshiba:/home/welinder # lsmod | grep processor processor 40876 2 acpi_cpufreq,thermal toshiba:/home/welinder # rmmod acpi_cpufreq thermal processor things immediately revert to normal. If I then do toshiba:/home/welinder # modprobe processor things go wild again. The wakeups appear to be real: the fan comes up more often in the wild state. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
