Subject: Regression: 20 ACPI interrupts per second on EEEPC 4G
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 16:39:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49DF6835.9040501@tuffmail.co.uk> (raw)

On latest git, powertop shows 20 ACPI interrupts per second.  
Previously, this was closer to 1 per second.  See attached output (a vs 
b, "a" is from 2.6.29-rc8).

This is from a pretty sparse KDE desktop.  Normally I run 
gnome-power-manager, but I killed it to make sure that wasn't causing 
any problems.

alan@alan-eeepc:/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts$ grep -v "invalid" *
error:       0
ff_gbl_lock:       0    enabled
ff_pwr_btn:       0     enabled

gpe0E:       0  disabled
gpe18:   60975  enabled
gpe_all:   60975
sci:   60975

which I presume means lots of EC interrupts.

[    0.134068] ACPI: EC: GPE = 0x18, I/O: command/status = 0x66, data = 0x62

Any ideas?

Thanks
Alan

A USB device is active 100.0% of the time:
USB device  1-5 : UB6225 (ENE)

Suggestion: Enable USB autosuspend by pressing the U key or adding 
usbcore.autosuspend=1 to the kernel command line in the grub config

Suggestion: increase the VM dirty writeback time from 4.99 to 15 seconds with:
  echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 
This wakes the disk up less frequently for background VM activity

Suggestion: Disable 'hal' from polling your cdrom with:  
hal-disable-polling --device /dev/cdrom 'hal' is the component that auto-opens a
window if you plug in a CD but disables SATA power saving from kicking in.
