https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641901 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641901#c0 Summary: nouveau: kernel logs hundreds of messages per second if no monitor is connected during booting Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=391541) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=391541) /var/log/boot.msg, monitor was connected, no messages were logged User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-0.3.1 Firefox/3.6.10 Kernel logs hundreds of messages per second if no monitor is connected during booting. Here is a short example of the messages: .. Sep 24 20:02:56 pion kernel: [ 691.503594] [drm] nouveau 0000:0f:00.0: PFIFO_INTR 0x00000010 - Ch 1 Sep 24 20:02:56 pion kernel: [ 691.503597] [drm] nouveau 0000:0f:00.0: PFIFO_INTR 0x00000010 - Ch 1 Sep 24 20:02:56 pion kernel: [ 691.503609] [drm] nouveau 0000:0f:00.0: PFIFO_INTR 0x00000010 - Ch 1 If a monitor is connected during booting (I used an LCD screen connected via DVI-D) then the computer works OK and the messages above are not logged in /var/log/messages. The machine is used as a computational server, and thus it doesn't need a monitor. But if try to boot with no monitor connected then /var/log/messages grows quite quickly in size. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Disconnect the monitor. 2.Turn on the computer. 3.Watch /var/log/messages. Actual Results: The machine works, for instance remote access via ssh is possible. But the kernel logs thousands of messages like Sep 24 20:02:56 pion kernel: [ 691.489143] [drm] nouveau 0000:0f:00.0: PFIFO_INTR 0x00000010 - Ch 1 to /var/log/messages Expected Results: No messages like this in /var/log/messages. Machine: HP workstation Z400 # lspci 0f:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [Quadro NVS 295] (rev a1) The problem was observed on all (two) tested machines. If someone wants to investigate the problem further then I can collect more data. -- 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.

It is/was an upstream bug: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/commit/?id=76f6e1f44dfcb571b4b...
Yeah, I've sent it based on this bug report. We still need to fix the root cause though. It is that interrupt 0x10 is not handled by the ISR. Are you somehow involved in the nouveau development?
It should be limited to 20 messages every three seconds instead of hundreds per second.
It's still way too much for a production system. It's not a slaughter anymore at least.
Please use:
A kernel from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/

It seems to work OK now. I used kernel-desktop-2.6.36-rc8.32.1.x86_64.rpm and drm-nouveau-kmp-desktop-20101014_k2.6.36.0_rc8_32-1.3.x86_64.rpm. No extra messages were written to /var/log/messages when the monitor wasn't connected during the boot. When I later connected the monitor to the running system, the following messages were logged: Oct 17 20:11:47 pion kernel: [ 259.309102] [drm] nouveau 0000:0f:00.0: plugged DisplayPort-1 Oct 17 20:11:47 pion kernel: [ 259.365855] [drm] nouveau 0000:0f:00.0: plugged DisplayPort-1 The monitor didn't show any output. I don't know whether this is a feature or a bug. When I disconnected the monitor, the following was logged: Oct 17 20:17:00 pion kernel: [ 570.929027] [drm] nouveau 0000:0f:00.0: unplugged DisplayPort-1 I also attach /var/log/boot.msg for the configurations with and without the monitor connected. -- 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.
