Triggered by kino(1) program, go into Capture mode. Sometimes that's already enough. If not, start capturing the stream. Mostly, the machine locks up, hard, no keyboard diodes flashing (I think). Once it rebooted the machine.

Stefan, couild you please take a peek at this one? It's a stack overrun so it's hard to tell what caused it. DV capture is implicated though. Martin, if you have CONFIG_4KSTACKS enabled then you could disable that. This may well "fix" the problem. We can then use CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW and CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE to work out where things are going wrong. Or there might be support for debugging stack usage problems in the new tracer code - we can ask Steven Rostedt and co to help out if so. Thanks. $ grep CONFIG_4KSTACKS /usr/src/linux-2.6.30.4/.config # CONFIG_4KSTACKS is not set $ grep CONFIG_4KSTACKS /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-rc5-git7/.config # CONFIG_4KSTACKS is not set $ I will recompile the kernel to enable some more debug. So far I had: $ grep CONFIG_DEBUG /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-rc5-git7/.config # CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_DEVRES is not set CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is not set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_WRITECOUNT is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_NOTIFIERS is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_NX_TEST is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_BOOT_PARAMS is not set BTW, please apologize my messy report. I just forgot that I have the stacktraces resolved automtically and no need to run ksymoops at all. I just do not understand why ksymoops gave those tons of warnings regarding the System.map file mismatching vmlinux, while at least from the timestamps on files they seemed to be same compilation run. Martin, which hardware do you use? (Camcorder, FireWire controller according to lspci.) Did it work for you before with an older kernel or in a different hardware combination? What do "grep OPTIMIZE .config" and "make checkstack | grep 1394" show? Furthermore, what if you unload ohci1394 and use firewire-ohci instead? This requires you to - enable the newer FireWire stack in the kernel config, - use libraw1394 v2.x (latest is best; Gentoo has got it: sys-libs/libraw1394-2.0.4, revdep-rebuild if you had libraw1394 v1.x until now) > This requires you to - chmod the respective device files or upgrade udev rules, http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration I am trying to get a stacktrace out of 2.6.31-rc6-git6 (current). The machine once rebooted without sending messages to remote ttyS0 console. At second attempt I copied some 15000 frames through the firewire and then it locked up but again did not send any single character to the remote console. "echo test >> /dev/ttyS0" works. For the third time I just booted up, and pressed Alt+SysRq+p and the machine locked with the following sent to the remote console: test test test SysRq : Emergency Sync SysRq : Emergency Sync SysRq : Emergency Sync SysRq : Kill All Tasks SysRq : Show Regs Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted (2.6.31-rc6-git6 #1) System Name EIP: 0060:[<c11c01ac>] EFLAGS: 00000282 CPU: 0 EIP is at acpi_idle_enter_simple+0x11a/0x145 EAX: c14a5f94 EBX: 00000cab ECX: 00000355 EDX: 00000031 ESI: 00000000 EDI: f70cd448 EBP: c14a5fb4 ESP: c14a5f94 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 0000 GS: 0000 SS: 0068 CR0: 8005003b CR2: b8067f02 CR3: 3692a000 CR4: 000006d0 DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 Call Trace: [<c124cdb8>] cpuidle_idle_call+0x57/0x8b [<c1001b6d>] cpu_idle+0x1c/0x33 [<c12f59dd>] rest_init+0x4d/0x4f [<c14a68b8>] start_kernel+0x217/0x21c [<c14a62d8>] i386_start_kernel+0x32/0x37 (In reply to comment #8) > Martin, > which hardware do you use?

stacktrace-2.6.31-rc6-git6.txt
Finally a stacktrace from 2.6.31-rc6-git6. The machine rebooted itself but spit out some messages. I have manually unloaded dv1394 to ensure it does not interfere. I wonder why it talks about tcp stuff. Currently, it is not physically connected to the ethernet although it is enabled (had to move to a room with a computer with the serial console so no network connection).
It is a Gentoo Linux ~x86 machine. I have installed libdc1394-2.1.0 (the wikipage you mention suggests 2.1.2) and libraw1394-2.0.4. The camera is Sony Handycam DCR-HC18E-PAL. Created attachment 22803 [details]

So far I had: "Inadverently" I enabled in addition to many DEBUG variables -# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR is not set +CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y +CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y and then both old firewire stack and the juju stack drivers worked (captured some 32 min of data). Probably not surprising for you. ;) > I wonder why it talks about tcp stuff. Something involved in DV reception might have mistakenly written to the kernel stack, and unrelated timer interrupts trip over it. (Side note: Here is a comment from Ingo Molnar on whether it is a stack overflow or memory corruption: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/21/311) > linux-2.6.31-rc6-git6 # make checkstack | grep 1394 > [...] OK, this is close to what I get on a x86-32 box here too. > "Inadverently" I enabled in addition to many DEBUG variables > [...] > and then both old firewire stack and the juju stack drivers worked Could you attach the working .config as well?

So, after disabling back the gcc config stack protect feature while having enabled the stack tracing I got one reboot with no OOPS on remote serial console. On a second attempt I got this. This is using the old firewire stack.

This crash is funny. Mouse has stopped, but sound card spits out the sound recorded on the tape (quickly than it was in real time). The status line of kino(1) says "Waiting for DV 7 ...". Unplugging the firewire cable nor pulling out the PCMCIA card has changed anything. The computer still makes a sound. Weird. Disk diode does not flash, no Magic Keys working. Is it replaying some files? ;-) It was a fresh, warm boot.

JuJu driver has the same problem. The machine locked just after going into "Capture" tab in kino(1). However, it rebooted after few seconds itself. Unfortunately partial stacktrace.

I added highres=off but hey, the machine rebooted again. Unfortunately the ftrace_dump_on_oops is too chatty so it not finish over the serial console so and is thus useless.

So here is the pre-last stacktrace when highres=off was passed to kernel with JuJu stack and no ftrace dump enabled.

last-juju-stacktrace-2.6.31-rc6-git6_with_highres-off_nousb.txt
Although I did rmmod ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd the machine rebooted but at least the stacktrace does not complain about stack corruption (booted with highres=off as previously). Maybe for the first time?
Sorry for all the spam, I will wait what you say before shooting blindly.
Since isochronous receive DMA not only through ohci1394+ieee1394+raw1394 but also through firewire-ohci+firewire-core causes panics, it is highly unlikely that there is a driver problem. Isochronous reception has been newly implemented from scratch in the latter, and it even uses a different DMA mode of the OHCI-1394 chip (different buffer management, different DMA programs). So, either it's a hardware fault, or some other kernel component is buggy. Try to simplify your system step by step to eliminate one component after another. E.g. one starting step could be to use dvgrab (command line DV capture tool) rather than kino. You can run it first in the same environment as you run kino (full X desktop), then with X shut down, sound drivers unloaded or unbound, networking drivers unloaded or unbound, etc. pp.. Also build test kernels with reduced features. E.g. remove ACPI powermanagement options. You can do so also in a bisection style, e.g. remove a whole bundle of features between two steps, and if that helps, bring back a few options. (Just keep track of what set of features you changed between any two steps.) ---- Well, you actually already did come up with a narrow bad--good pair of configs, but I can't really make much sense of it: From comment #19: $ diff -u "attachment 22803 [details]" "attachment 22804 [details]" @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # Linux kernel version: 2.6.31-rc6-git6 -# Fri Aug 21 13:26:12 2009 +# Sat Aug 22 02:23:52 2009 # # CONFIG_64BIT is not set CONFIG_X86_32=y @@ -45,7 +45,6 @@ CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=y CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO__DO_IRQ=y CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_PROBE=y -CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS=y CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR=y CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config" CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=y This is auto-selected dependent on CC_STACKPROTECTOR. @@ -302,7 +301,8 @@ # CONFIG_X86_PAT is not set # CONFIG_EFI is not set CONFIG_SECCOMP=y -# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR is not set +CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y +CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set Huh?

Stefan, when I reverted this change and left out the stackprotector stuff the problem re-appeared, really. I used gcc-3.4.1 but now I have also 4.4.1 but could switch back using gcc-config to 3.4.1 if somebody wants me to (Gentoo Linux box). The problem(s) is(are) not related nor avoided by massive firewire debug messages nor acpi or other debug. I cannot interpret the stacktraces but unloading the usb drivers actually made the stack "uncorrupted", unlike in most previous cases. In this context I have to add that I just placed a comment to some Gentoo Linux but that my uhci-hcd was loaded before ehci-hcd. I was getting a Warning in dmesg(1) that it should be vice-versa. Oh, here is what I did to fix the Warning but haven't tried yet the DV-testcase ;): $ tail /etc/modprobe.conf # make sure this does not happen anymore: "Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not after" # fix from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260139 install uhci-hcd /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd ; /sbin/modprobe -i uhci-hcd install ohci-hcd /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd ; /sbin/modprobe -i ohci-hcd $ The "nousb" case was not the first time the stacktrace was not automagically tagged as corrupted (more below). Maybe several bugs co-exist? Please note I did not use "nousb" as a kernel commandline but really unloaded the two drivers on the fly (just in case it would really matter). Stacks obtained and NOT tagged as corrupted (name of the crash file is followed by relevant kernel commandline used to boot the machine and with a strack_trace file captured before running kino or entering the "Capture" mode, acpi was compiled in statically): another-juju-stacktrace-2.6.31-rc6-git6.txt Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda3 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 idebus=66

The "highres=off" on commandline apparently did not disable it or at least not completely, as the "highres" string still appeared in stacktraces. I thought I did try noapci or acpi=off but according to the dmesg outputs I have stored I did not or it got ignored. Before trying more somebody please let me know whether you can gather something from the non-corrupted stack traces. I at least have no further idea at this point. First of all, I dug out an old kernel image 2.6.29-rc7, still the machine rebooted during the test. Same for 2.6.29.1. I fixed /etc/modprobe.conf so that the USB drivers get loaded in proper order. The "Warning" message disappeared from dmesg(1) but no improvement in terms of the firewire issue. I reproduced with "dvgrab fileprefix-". So, I shrunk down the kernel options. At one point I thought that removal od dr+agp+backlight_lcd+fb+parport+i2c did help (I got PANIC: doublefault message but was not on serial console), but re-adding all these back I could not find out which was the cause I got crashes until I reached exactly same .config (as judged by diff(1)). :( But, since that time the machine throws into the console (the one on tty at least) a message that a damaged firewire packet was received. I shrunk further. I suspected that when yenta and serial share an interrupt it could be a problem. I dropped even serial, mouse, MMIO mapped packets, special init code for Ricoh bridges ... Still, the machine rebooted after spitting out the message about a defective packet. Note that HPET, HIGHRES, watchdog, cpufreq are not in my kernel anymore. At the very moment I boot into initlevel 2 as dropping network, sockets etc. causes my X session to ignore my keyboard. I will attach the .config I have and some dmesg and other info. The problem can be even now triggered by "dvgrab -status". It prints the message about broken packet, a .dv file is created on the disk but sometimes the machine does not reboot. As magic keys worked I obtained some dumps. I haven't tried with the very last config but few steps ago I tried the JuJu stack and got same results - damaged packet notes and reboot. Questions to you: 1. The machine has onboard firewire chipset with two mini connectors. As I lost the proper cable I use PCMCIA card with 2 USB2.0 and and 2 firewire sockets (one is the mini sized and the other the big thing - which I use). dmesg(1) outputs show that the firewire controllers are 1.0 and 1.1 spec. Further, their max packet sizes are 1024 and 2048. Could that fool the driver? How can I disable the onboard chip? 2. The damaged packet(s) output I could post as a .jpg file from a camera. dvgrab stopped the camera but although it showed several packet timestamps it spoke only about a single packet? 3. Sometimes in the dmesg(1) output I saw a note: ieee1394: Current remote IRM is not 1394a-2000 compliant, resetting... Not always but might give you a clue. 4. The PCMCIA card has an optional input for external power. I do not have it. 5. The camera is powered from a battery, sorry, getting physical access to the power adapter will take months. The firewire cable is good, thick and shielded. I use it for my external firewire sound card without problems. I do have few more these cables with the big and mini connectors (but not the one with two mini connectors). Created attachment 22827 [details]

BTW, during my test once I did use "acpi=off" but that did not help. So, at the moment I still do have some acpi stuff in the kernel. Please advise what else I could drop from .config.

Could you nevertheless do one last test with a kernel with CONFIG_ACPI=n? Besides that, I don't spot anything interesting to switch off. You did already test with dvgrab on a text console, X11 shut down, right? I.e. after /etc/init.d/xdm stop. > I haven't tried with the very last config but few steps ago I tried > the JuJu stack and got same results - damaged packet notes and reboot. Your last tests with minimal kernels bring the DV reception DMA back into the picture as culprit. Still, what's curious is that (1.) both driver stacks trigger the bug even though they use very different DMA modes of the controller and don't share code in this area, (2.) your hardware/ software environment is pretty common yet I don't remember to have heard of similar crashes. > Questions to you: > 1.

No. Some people use two or even more controllers regularly and extensively, alone and together, same ones or different ones. I for one have a box with up to four different 1394 controllers present at a time, among them one out of a few CardBus cards which I have here. > How can I disable the onboard chip? If you don't have a BIOS menu for that, then you can either unbind it: # lspci | grep 1394 # ls /sys/module/ohci1394/drivers/pci\:ohci1394/ # echo -n "0000:04:00.0" > /sys/module/ohci1394/drivers/pci\:ohci1394/unbind (Use the device ID from the sysfs listing, not the one from lspci.) Or you can hack linux/drivers/ieee1394/ohci1394.c ohci1394_pci_probe to return early with error if dev->vendor matches the vendor ID (from lspci -nn) of the built-in controller. BTW, a 1394 controller which is idle will only do a single brief DMA right after initialization (8 or 12 bytes or so). If driven by firewire-ohci instead of ohci1394, it will also emit an interrupt event every 64 seconds (signaling the wrapping of a bus timer, causing the CPU to update a kernel variable and a chip register). IOW an idle 1394 controller is almost like absent. > 2.

I'm not familiar with dvgrab's integrity testing or how it bails out when it detects data errors. The corrupt packet, as logged by dvgrab, could be because the camcorder sent junk, or because the controller wrote junk into memory, or because the drivers chased wrong buffer pointers after a memory corruption. BTW, if the camcorder already sent garbage (or the cable corrupted some data), then the controller should still _not_ overwrite random memory (it is programmed by the drivers to DMA into the designated buffers only, not anywhere else); or more likely in such a case it should detect a CRC error and pass just this error status up to the application. However, if your CardBus card (or the CardBus bridge) is buggy or damaged, then all bets are off. > 3. Sometimes in the dmesg(1) output I saw a note: > ieee1394: Current remote IRM is not 1394a-2000 compliant, resetting... > Not always but might give you a clue. That's normal when a 1394 node with lesser bus management capabilities is plugged in. Management of the 1394 bus (as a peer-to-peer or network-like bus) is voluntarily taken over by nodes whose firmware or OS is most capable to do so; or if several of such nodes are present, they have a protocol to select one who does the work. "IRM" = isochronous resource manager. > 4. The PCMCIA card has an optional input for external power. I do not > have it. No problem. This power input is only to inject bus power, it does not affect data signals. Camcorders don't need 1394 bus power. > 5.

A 4-pin to 4-pin cable (or, 2nd choice, a 4-pin plug to 6-pin socket adapter) would be cool to test how well the built-in controller works in contrast to the CardBus card. Or maybe you find a local computer shop with friendly service who let you try out another FireWire CardBus card. > I use it for my external firewire sound card without problems.
Do you use this sound card on the same notebook and with this CardBus card?
...and for audio reception? (In reply to comment #36) > > I use it for my external firewire sound card without problems. > > Do you use this sound card on the same notebook and with this CardBus card? It is a Phonic Firefly box with low-latency drivers available only on MS Windows. The laptop is dual-boot. Under WinXP I recorded a lot using just the same hw and cable(s). BTW, have external CD-RW/DVD-RW on firewire as well. I could try to burn on it something - I thing it used to work under linux. Does the dvgrab status really read the tape remotely? I do not think so as the DV-camera is silent. I bet it just talks to the chip over the wire. Why is the massive firewire debug option useless here? I disabled that in the past as I never saw anything useful. :( Maybe time to retry in this minimalistic setup (yes, am not using X nor framebuffer now when running dvgrab).

This crash or the next one for which I did not have a stacktrace killed my ext3fs. Something like "group counts went wrong". Inodes of files I haven't touched for a while were wrong, e.g. some attribute saying it is compressed file although the ext3fs does not allow it, some ugly huge numbers ... A recovery CD-ROM boot corrected the errors but I think I will stop inspecting this.
It only appears that it is related either to the firewoire chip on the pcmcia casrd itself or to the pmcia driver. The on-motherboard firewire chipset works fine. Kernel crashes can be triggered by "dvgrab -showstatus" as well as grabbing the stream. There are some many different stack traces that I doubt it makes sense to continue on this.
The "damaged firewire packets" were caused by the fact the camera was in "camera mode" instead of "play/edit mode".
I just do not believe in a hardware issue as the same ports on the pmcia card work well under win xp sp2.
I have attached the external CD/DVD drive via the firewire cable through the pmcia card. I managed to copy whole cdrom into /dev/null. The firewire sbp2 driver of the old stack (not JuJu) works. The chip and the cables as well. So, it looks like a yenta driver issue. I don't know why the last stacktrace talks about swap. As I said, I booted into initlevel 2, but yes, at that point swap is really enabled. Have 2 GB RAM and same of swap. I suspect I am hitting too many bugs in a row. Created attachment 22833 [details]

I managed to copy whole cdrom into /dev/null. (1.) asynchronous I/O (through the old or new 1394 stack) as used with storage devices, (2.) isochronous (e.g. DV) reception through the old stack, (3.) isochronous reception through the new stack all use different DMA modes of the 1394 controller. Cases (2.) and (3.) are the same though WRT what's coming in over the wire. To reiterate, cases (2.) and (3.) don't share driver code. Furthermore, (2.) and (3.) cause a higher IRQ and tasklet load than (1.), because the bulk of (1.) works without involvement of the CPU. Nevertheless it's not entirely expected that (2.) and (3.) crash while (1.) doesn't. During (2.) and (3.) there is also some interleaved asynchronous traffic for control and status of the camera, similar in nature to control and status traffic in case of (1.). ---- Anyway, despite all your additional diagnostics I have alas still no idea what causes the bug or why CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y prevents the bug from happening. > Kernel crashes can be triggered by "dvgrab -showstatus" as well
> as grabbing the stream.
Do you mean by the former, that the camera not only doesn't play back, it also doesn't transmit from its camera sensor at this time? (Or more to the point, dvgrab doesn't receive & record frames in this mode?)
PS: I ask because one can also capture live video from many camcorders (in contrast to capture from tape), yet those two ways of video capture are the same from the receiving end's POV. I.e. do you have even live video off but the kernel crashes nevertheless while dvgrab is active? (In reply to comment #47) > > Kernel crashes can be triggered by "dvgrab -showstatus" as well > > as grabbing the stream. > > Do you mean by the former, that the camera not only doesn't play back, it > also > doesn't transmit from its camera sensor at this time? (Or more to the point, > dvgrab doesn't receive & record frames in this mode?) The .dv files were always non-empty. I only bothered to once run 'mplayer -vo null' to ensure the format was readable. Back to you question. I just wanted to say that just the communication over the wire kills the machine. And while taking into account that at some test I had the machine set to the camera mode instead of the play mode the camera did not send real video data but complained. And that is why dvgrab complained about damaged packets. Foolingly enough, dvgrab did create (as I said) non-empty files, readable by mplayer and probably containing just black frames. This matches the picture that 'any' communication with the device kills the machine. It happens within first say 5 seconds after the attempt, mostly within the first second. I can try to capture a live video. And will test from win xp. Is there a patch available so that the firewire driver would just receive data while not writing it into memory/file, whatever it really does? It might save my possible future ext3fs problems and might be enough to stress the IRQ lines. Regarding the ext3 crash: as I rebooted a lot and my fsck is scheduled every 30th mount of the filesystem I can assure you that the filesystem before the crash was clean about 5 kernel crashes ago. Just to emphasize that replaying the journal either resulted in broken inode attributes and metadata or that something wrote directly over the disk area? > I can try to capture a live video. Not necessary. You already confirmed in comment 49 what I wanted to know: In all crashing cases, OHCI-1394 IR DMA is active. > Is there a patch available so that the firewire driver would just > receive data while not writing it into memory/file, whatever it > really does? It might save my possible future ext3fs problems No. These crashes obviously involve memory corruption (stack corruption in particular), which means that your on-disk data are in danger since the kernel may write random junk. You merely can reduce the risk somewhat by reducing regular I/O, e.g. by "dvgrab - >/dev/null". (Trailing "-" in dvgrab's command line means output to stdout.) However, at this point I don't know what'd be left to test anyway... Hmm, perhaps one thing if you have the means: A different CardBus card, as an indicator whether the problem relates more to the card or more to the laptop's chipset, especially its CardBus bridge. But would it be worth it? So far the whole thing sounds to me as if nobody else is affected, and that no other kernel developer will pop up with an idea what to fix. IOW the only realistic way forward for this bug seems to me to be "resolved; wontfix/ worksforme" for now, sorry. I have enabled ISA BUS support in my kernel. I thought my laptop uses only PCI but it seems at least something got detected: --- old 2009-10-01 18:38:01.000000000 +0200 +++ new 2009-10-01 18:37:51.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,13 +1,16 @@ yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.0: ISA IRQ mask 0x0490, PCI irq 5 -yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.0: Socket status: 30000820 +yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.0: Socket status: 30000006 pci_bus 0000:02: Raising subordinate bus# of parent bus (#02) from #02 to #06 yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.0: pcmcia: parent PCI bridge I/O window: 0xa000 - 0xafff +pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: cs: IO port probe 0xa000-0xafff: clean. yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.0: pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0xd6000000 - 0xd6ffffff -yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.0: pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0x80000000 - 0x87ffffff +yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.0: pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0x88000000 - 0x8fffffff yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.1: CardBus bridge found [1043:1624] yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.1: ISA IRQ mask 0x0490, PCI irq 11 yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.1: Socket status: 30000006 pci_bus 0000:02: Raising subordinate bus# of parent bus (#02) from #06 to #0a yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.1: pcmcia: parent PCI bridge I/O window: 0xa000 - 0xafff +pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: cs: IO port probe 0xa000-0xafff: clean. yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.1: pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0xd6000000 - 0xd6ffffff -yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.1: pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0x80000000 - 0x87ffffff +yenta_cardbus 0000:02:07.1: pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0x88000000 - 0x8fffffff Could it be related and help the IO stress? I did not bother test with the device attached. Martin, sorry for the long period of silence. Do you still have the hardware? Is the issue still present in current kernels?

For now I think it is justified to close this bug as not reproducible. I am not aware of directly comparable reports. You can reopen it if you continue to run into this issue.
