This might be more helpful. I ran another bisect with the following final log: --- git bisect start # bad: [d6ffc6ac83b1f9f12652d89b9cb5bcbfbea7796c] x86/vector: Respect affinity mask in irq descriptor git bisect bad d6ffc6ac83b1f9f12652d89b9cb5bcbfbea7796c # good: [e4ae4c8ea7c65f61fde29c689d148c8c9e05305a] Merge branch 'irq/core' into x86/apic git bisect good e4ae4c8ea7c65f61fde29c689d148c8c9e05305a # good: [4ef76eb6de734dc03a7f3b8f80884362364e6049] x86/apic: Get rid of the legacy irq data storage git bisect good 4ef76eb6de734dc03a7f3b8f80884362364e6049 # good: [ba801640b10d87b1c4e26cbcbe414a001255404f] x86/vector: Compile SMP only code conditionally git bisect good ba801640b10d87b1c4e26cbcbe414a001255404f # good: [90ad9e2d91067983f3328e21b306323877e5f48a] x86/io_apic: Reevaluate vector configuration on activate() git bisect good 90ad9e2d91067983f3328e21b306323877e5f48a # bad: [4900be83602b6be07366d3e69f756c1959f4169a] x86/vector/msi: Switch to global reservation mode git bisect bad 4900be83602b6be07366d3e69f756c1959f4169a # bad: [2db1f959d9dc16035f2eb44ed5fdb2789b754d6a] x86/vector: Handle managed interrupts proper git bisect bad 2db1f959d9dc16035f2eb44ed5fdb2789b754d6a # first bad commit: [2db1f959d9dc16035f2eb44ed5fdb2789b754d6a] x86/vector: Handle managed interrupts proper
It's helpful to me. I tried it in QEmu with (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz) but, can't reproduced the bug.
--- That first bad commit 2db1f95 identified at the end is interesting: it's the only one I've tried through all of this that actually gives me a kernel panic when unadorned with kernel options (so unlike all of the others it fails to even drop me at a tty login prompt). I tried a number of things to fiddle with it: it boots fine with either nolapic or noapic. The former results in seeing a single cpu with lscpu, but the latter (noapic) seems to give me as much functionality as I'd need. I'm not seeing the issue noted before,
Because the "noapic" just disable the I/O APIC, but, the "nolapic" will disable both the Local APIC and I/O APIC
whereby noapic for 4.15.0-rc3 was somehow disabling my ethernet card. I hope this second bisect went down better than the last one..
Could you add "apic=debug" in the kernel command line, then, give me the dmesg log?
