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)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 892 bytes --]
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
ff_rt_clk: 0 disabled
gpe03: 0 disabled
gpe04: 0 disabled

gpe0D: 0 disabled
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.
