Subject: Losing PS/2 Interrupts
Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 17:45:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E2050B5-59DC-4E4F-9C8D-8C04A6B465EB@gmail.com> (raw)

I'm running PVOPs 2.6.38 on Xen 4.0.2 RC3 and while booting a guest I lose interrupts for the PS/2 trackpad. The trackpad stops functioning because the device is waiting for service. I added a work around that calls i8042_interupt form a timer if it hasn't been called in 1s and it started working again. I added some code to Xen to count IRQ 12 and compared that to the IRQ 12 count in //proc/interrupts (I stopped PS/2 activity and waited for PS/2 interrupt activity to stop before taking the counts). I lose one interrupt in Dom0 every time the trackpad freezes.


(XEN) IRQ 12 count 21048
12:      21047          0  xen-pirq-ioapic-edge  i8042   <--- lost an interrupt in dom0
...

(XEN) IRQ 12 count 48540
12:      48537          0  xen-pirq-ioapic-edge  i8042   <--- lost 3 interrupts in dom0


I looked at the point at which the trackpad gets it's last interrupt in a trace and the other major activity at that time is the event channel that services the Qemu vcpu io_req code.

This 2.6.38 tree has a merge of Stafano's 2.6.39 fixes in drivers/xen/events.c.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
