Subject: rt2x00/rt2500 PCI unresponsive / sluggish response
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 11:23:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071111102315.GC10486@paradigm.rfc822.org> (raw)


Hi,
i today tried the in tree rt2x00 driver the first time and it immediatly
felt a little sluggish. It sometimes feels a little as the driver is
actually not using interrupts but rather polls at HZ rate or something.
I can actually see the device generating interrupts in /proc/interrupts
but still.

Machine is a 2Ghz P4 with an PCI Ralink RT2500:

0000:01:02.0 Network controller: RaLink Ralink RT2500 802.11 Cardbus Reference Card (rev 01)
        Subsystem: SiteCom Europe BV: Unknown device 9073

        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18
        Region 0: Memory at dfdfe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

Kernel is current git ecd744eec3aa8bbc949ec04ed3fbf7ecb2958a0e. 
NonTickless, HZ is 1000, HiresTimes enabled, no CPUFREQ 

While running an "find /" via ssh the output comes in and a second terminal shows this:
