https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=377612 Summary: broken auto-repeat under heavy interrupt load ... Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: mmeeks@novell.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com CC: pavel@novell.com, jkosina@novell.com Found By: --- Under heavy interrupt load auto-repeat appears to break; it's unclear why that should happen: this happened in real life with a broken scheduler, and with various people (at kernel.org), and under heavy load. If the X latency grows too much bad things happen. To reproduce simply run one of these per CPU (as root) and then start typing :-) [ lost keystrokes are fair enough, it's the auto-repeat functionality that is unfortunate ]: int main (int argc, char **argv) { volatile int i; iopl(3); while (1) { asm volatile("cli"); for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++); asm volatile("sti"); sleep (1); } return 0; } -- 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.
