On a Dell XPS 13 9360 with Debian sid/unstable and Linux 6.8-rc4+
(and probably before), I sometimes notice the fan spinning up, and
trying to figure out why, I noticed that `top` showed `irq/51-
DLL075B:01` in state D (uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)). That is
without using the touchpad. I am using an external USB keyboard and
an external USB mouse.

The D state increases the load average.
Is that the expected behavior?
No this is not. Touchpad appears to be firing interrupt line 51
continuously and then drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid-core.c:
i2c_hid_irq() is trying to read input from touchpad over I2C bus.
Not sure is this HW failure or system FW error (there are bad ACPI
tables out there misconfiguring things etc).
It normally works, and I have no idea, if this even contributed to the
laggy system. Right now, the interrupts do not increase when *not*
using the touchpad or touchscreen.
Ah, so it triggers randomly?
Often I only notice it after resuming from ACPI S3 with an USB-C
multi-port adapter connected, so not using the touchpad at all.
When it happens does the situation remain or does it recover back to
normal somehow, e.g. after touching the touchpad, unloading and
loading the i2c_hid[_acpi] module, suspend/ resume cycle, etc?
After touching the touchpad, the interrupt storm stops.
If it helps, the output of `acpidump` is attached to the (unrelated)
Linux Kernel Bugzilla issue *Linux warning `usb: port power management
may be unreliable` on Dell XPS 13 9360* [1].
Do you have a suggestion, what I can do next time, this happens?
I'd try to see is it possible to recover back to normal or is reboot
required. That might give ideas what might trigger the situation.
Could Linux detect this situation and log something?
Don't know. Perhaps difficult to differentiate from normal touchpad use.
Interrupt 17 seems to be fired almost 40.000 times per second. Could
this be an indicator?
Kind regards,
Paul
