Hi there,
I hope that someone in this list could help me trace down this issue I
am seeing.
I am using 2.6.30-rt16 RT Kernel on a IXP425 system. The system is
running an experimental comm stack that has been working quite well with
2.6.26-rt2 for a very long time (> 100days).
When the system boots, every 180s aprox, I see this traces in the dmesg:
42949422.930000] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
[42949422.940000] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
[42949422.950000] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
[42949422.960000] ISR HIHG LATENCY 30073
[42949596.920000] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
[42949596.930000] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
[42949596.940000] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
[42949596.950000] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
[42949596.960000] ISR HIHG LATENCY 40066
The "ISR HIGH LATENCY" is small latency measurement that I have done in
the ISR function of the driver. Hw is ticking the system every 2.5ms and
the usual run-time of the ISR handler is well under 200us. Every aprox
180seconds, suddenly this run-time get as high as 50ms.
It is very highly probable that the problem is inside my driver, because
if I dont load the modules, this "NOHZ..." trace is not shown. Anyway, I
would like to know if this "issue" is triggered by some known cause, or
at least any idea where to start looking at.
Please, CC me as I am not subscribed to the list.
Thank you very much in advance and best regards!
Iratxo.
