Long max latencies on Wandbaord / Freescale i.MX6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Comming to the end of my CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING / "max latency" story:

It is not a spurious interrupt...

The source of problem is the WiFi driver (brcmfmac via SDIO) which produces up to 6k interrupts per second, which when CONFIG_PROOVE_LOCKING is enabled, results sporadically in very long latencies (up to 10ms). (Possible because pending interrupts were queued).

Further after exactly 1600001 interrupts, the kernel disables this mmc interrupt with "__report_bad_irq" (The mmc driver is not only used for SD-cards but also for the SDIO attached devices.)

Or with other words: never use (this) WiFi on a realtime system...

Regards and sorry for the noise I produced on this list
