Subject: Excessive ethernet interrupts on AM335x board
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:35:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <513F4B58.1000204@mimc.co.uk> (raw)
I'm just fighting an issue with ethernet on our custom AM335x board:-
# uname -a
Linux nanobone 3.9.0-rc2-00113-gd60f039 #139 Tue Mar 12 15:14:01 GMT 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux
Every now and then, the whole unit slows to a crawl. The only indication of any problem is:-
(a) the serial tty port becomes much less responsive
(b) normal ping times jump from 1ms to >10sec (sometimes >20sec !!)
(c) the ethernet interrupt count rockets (see below)
I've tried to force the problem by flood pinging from my PC.
# while true
> do grep "58:" /proc/interrupts; sleep 10
> done
58: 1291 INTC 4a100000.ethernet <<< normal pinging (about 100 irqs per 10sec)

As you can see, when I stop the flood pings, the nfs link is now reported
as being lost.
Any ideas ?
Cheers
