forwarding from my lkml post as probably more appropriate to send this here... thanks, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alessandro Suardi <alessandro.suardi@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, Apr 18, 2014 at 12:31 AM Subject: 3.15-rc1: Endless "Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on" messages in /var/log/messages To: "linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [hoping I persuaded gmail to get my old text-only email settings back, grrr] Noticed that my root fs was filling up, and found out that /var/log/messages was approaching 2GB of space, most of which were as per $subject. To give an idea of the magnitude, here's a snippet from a saved sample of /var/log/messages: [root@xbox log]# grep "Disabling PP" messages.save.head |head -1 Apr 15 03:44:10 xbox kernel: [ 3.115126] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [root@xbox log]# grep "Disabling PP" messages.save.head |tail -1 Apr 15 03:45:50 xbox kernel: [ 130.165219] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [root@xbox log]# grep -c "Disabling PP" messages.save.head 610 Or from the dmesg ring: [root@xbox log]# dmesg|head [22446.690572] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.690616] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.704560] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.706747] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.720202] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.722447] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.724850] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.727268] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.733052] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on [22446.735319] [drm] Disabling PPGTT because VT-d is on Are there patches for this issue, or is a workaround available to prevent a filesystem full condition on my root fs? This is on a Dell Latitude E6420 laptop, Fedora 19 x86_64, onboard Intel video card... yes, I have an old A08 BIOS, but I've never seen this issue while regularly updating my mainline kernel weekly or so... Available for more details if needed, thanks in advance, --alessandro "don't underestimate the things that I will do" (Adele, "Rolling In The Deep") -- --alessandro "don't underestimate the things that I will do" (Adele, "Rolling In The Deep") _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
