However, the "x: %d" is a little too obscured to endusers IMHO. Shouldn't that be protected by #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC or something like PCM_DEBUG? > The most likely trigger for this event is if the client software is > writing data to sound device and is blocked in the write() syscall when > another thread calls sysctl().

I've added the diagnostic code in sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c, and can 100% trigger this while mpg123 is playing and having a "sysctl -a" running in another xterm at the same time. x: 2, current pid: 39234 (sysctl) x: 2, current pid: 39234 (sysctl) It also looks like gcc will use sysctl() to retrieve physical memory size before compilation. I guess the "x: 2" I ran into was just a result of running gcc too frequently(make buildworld buildkernel). > [...] > >> Do your sound hardware and em0 share the same irq?

I've tried to comment out the #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC code around sys/dev/usb/usb.c:752 to see if the extra checking for NULL ue helps. Unfortunately that didn't work for me: the kernel always panic at usb_get_next_event+0x5e after starting usbd. > > And, yes, the em0 didn't hang after booting to the non-ACPI environment. > > However, there're still something weird happening at that moment: > > > > 1.

Oops, it looks like I accidentally enabled the DEVICE_POLLING in kernel configuration file and forgot to turn kern.polling.enable on. After disabling DEVICE_POLLING and booting w/o ACPI, I can get rid of the aforementioned em0 sluggish problem. The interrupt rate on em0 is now 5700 ~ 7200 per second while downloading a couple of files from this laptop, and the average speed is 10+ MBytes. Hmm... it seems that I have to disable USB mouse and ACPI to get em0 back to work at this moment. I'm not quite sure about where the "IRQ mapping" you're talking about to retrieve from; therefore, I assume that came from dmesg: Found $PIR table, 15 entries at 0xc00fdea0 PCI-Only Interrupts: none Location Bus Device Pin Link IRQs embedded 0 0 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 0 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 0 C 0x62 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 0 D 0x63 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 2 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 2 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 1 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 1 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 1 0 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 1 0 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 30 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 30 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 30 C 0x62 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 30 D 0x63 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 2 0 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 2 0 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 slot 1 2 2 A 0x62 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 slot 1 2 2 B 0x63 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 2 3 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 2 3 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 2 3 D 0x63 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 slot 2 9 0 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 slot 2 9 0 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 slot 2 9 0 C 0x62 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 slot 2 9 0 D 0x63 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 9 1 A 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 9 2 A 0x62 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 9 2 B 0x62 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 2 1 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 2 8 A 0x68 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 29 A 0x60 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 29 B 0x63 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 29 C 0x62 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 29 D 0x6b 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 31 A 0x62 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 embedded 0 31 B 0x61 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> at pcibus 0 on motherboard pir0: <PCI Interrupt Routing Table: 15 Entries> on motherboard $PIR: Links after initial probe: Link IRQ Rtd Ref IRQs 0x60 255 N 10 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x61 255 N 10 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x62 255 N 8 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x63 255 N 6 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x68 255 N 1 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x6b 255 N 1 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 $PIR: Found matching pin for 1.0.INTA at func 0: 4 $PIR: Found matching pin for 2.0.INTA at func 0: 4 $PIR: Found matching pin for 2.0.INTB at func 1: 6 $PIR: Found matching pin for 2.2.INTA at func 0: 11 $PIR: Found matching pin for 2.1.INTA at func 0: 4 $PIR: Found matching pin for 0.29.INTA at func 0: 4 $PIR: Found matching pin for 0.29.INTB at func 1: 10 $PIR: Found matching pin for 0.29.INTC at func 2: 11 $PIR: Found matching pin for 0.29.INTD at func 7: 11 $PIR: Found matching pin for 0.31.INTA at func 1: 255 $PIR: Found matching pin for 0.31.INTB at func 3: 6 $PIR: Links after initial IRQ discovery: Link IRQ Rtd Ref IRQs 0x60 4 Y 10 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x61 6 Y 10 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x62 11 Y 8 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x63 10 Y 6 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x68 255 N 1 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 0x6b 11 Y 1 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 $PIR: IRQs used by BIOS: 4 6 10 11 $PIR: Interrupt Weights: [ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ] [ 0 0 0 0 10 0 10 0 0 0 6 9 0 0 0 0 ] For the complete dmesg, please consult: http://www.mmlab.cse.yzu.edu.tw/~avatar/dmesg-noacpi.txt http://www.mmlab.cse.yzu.edu.tw/~avatar/dmesg-acpi.txtReceived on Mon Jun 07 2004 - 01:16:46 UTC
