I think the interrupt count for each cpu should increment. Does it? for a kernel under which jack fails: root@palnote:/home/plutek# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 0: 43 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 9 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 8: 1 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc0 9: 734 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi 12: 2502 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 16: 28 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi mmc0, ehci_hcd:usb1 17: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi rtlwifi 19: 1 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi firewire_ohci, snd_hdsp 23: 1855 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb2 40: 939 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth0 41: 14407 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge ahci 42: 341 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge snd_hda_intel 43: 3975 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge i915 NMI: 12 2 13 3 Non-maskable interrupts LOC: 22030 9369 22762 8398 Local timer interrupts SPU: 0 0 0 0 Spurious interrupts PMI: 12 2 13 3 Performance monitoring interrupts IWI: 0 0 0 0 IRQ work interrupts RES: 1012 1465 1348 1568 Rescheduling interrupts CAL: 636 665 426 753 Function call interrupts TLB: 552 534 338 386 TLB shootdowns TRM: 0 0 0 0 Thermal event interrupts THR: 0 0 0 0 Threshold APIC interrupts MCE: 0 0 0 0 Machine check exceptions MCP: 57 57 57 59 Machine check polls ERR: 0 MIS: 0 and for the kernel under which jack runs fine: root@palnote:/home/plutek# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 0: 124 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 8 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 8: 1 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc0 9: 731 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi 12: 2501 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 16: 159 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1, mmc0, mei 17: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi rtlwifi 19: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi snd_hdsp 23: 484 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb2 40: 240 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth0 41: 5 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge firewire_ohci 42: 11334 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge ahci 43: 503 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge snd_hda_intel 44: 2171 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge i915 NMI: 0 0 0 0 Non-maskable interrupts LOC: 18709 15972 13871 12078 Local timer interrupts SPU: 0 0 0 0 Spurious interrupts PMI: 0 0 0 0 Performance monitoring interrupts IWI: 0 0 0 0 IRQ work interrupts RES: 12558 5658 12784 13897 Rescheduling interrupts CAL: 162 195 300 249 Function call interrupts TLB: 320 538 365 855 TLB shootdowns TRM: 0 0 0 0 Thermal event interrupts THR: 0 0 0 0 Threshold APIC interrupts MCE: 0 0 0 0 Machine check exceptions MCP: 2 2 2 2 Machine check polls ERR: 0 MIS: 0 not sure what you mean by "the interrupt count for each cpu should increment", but i don't think i'm seeing anything that looks like that. > Sorry, don't quite know where to go from here, looks like something for kernel gurus in lkml... > -- Fernando well, we'll see if anything comes out of the above first.... i'm kinda busy this week to engage a discussion with a bunch of kernel devs! thanks again... cheers! .pltk. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
