there is node with Intel 7520-based motherboard (MSI-9136), IDE cdrom (hda) and
SATA disc and 2.6.19-rc3 linux kernel.
When I set IDE controller into the native mode, I get irq storm on the node and
this interrupt is disabled. If this interrupt is shared, the other subsystems
are stop working too.
When I switch the IDE controller into legacy mode, all works correctly.
I've tried to use noapic, acpi=off, pci=routeirq, irqpoll options but it does
not help.
This issue is reproduced on the old kernels (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp and latest
RHEL4 kernel) too.
Is it probably a known issue and is there any work-around?
thank you,
Vasily Averin

When I use irqpoll option I get the following oops in create_empty_buffers():
it is not expected that alloc_page_buffers(page, blocksize, 1) can return NULL,
but it does it because of requested blocksize is more than PAGE_SIZE.
Unfortunately I have not any ideas how to fix this issue correctly.
thank you,

I have reproduced the same issue on the another node:
ASUSTeK P5GD1-VM,
Intel 915G chipset,
ICH6 IDE controller,
IDE dvdrom: SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615 (hda),
sata disk: WDC WD1600JS-00M
when I switch IDE controller to the native mode, I see "Disabling IRQ" message,
then kernel generates an oops in create_empty_buffers(), like I've reported earlier.
Could somebody please help me to troubleshoot this issue? I've seen this issue
on the customer nodes and would like to know how I can work-around this issue
without any changes inside motherboard BIOS.
thank you,
Vasily Averin

Okay, I tracked this one down. It's pretty interesting.
In short, some piix controllers including ICH7, when put into enhanced
mode (PCI native mode), uses BMDMA Interrupt bit as interrupt
pending/clear bit for *all* commands. ie. Reading STATUS does NOT clear
IRQ even for PIO commands. 1 should be written to BMDMA Interrupt bit
to clear IRQ. That's what's causing IRQ storm. IDE driver does what
it's supposed to do but IRQ is just stuck at low active.
Fortunately, libata is immune to the problem because it does
ap->ops->irq_clear(ap) in ata_host_intr() regardless of command type in
flight. So, not loading IDE piix and using libata to drive all piix
ports solves the problem.
I guess this behavior is unique to some piixs in enhanced mode
considering wide use of IDE driver. Fixing this in IDE driver is pain
in the ass because IRQ handler is scattered all over the place. I'm
thinking about adding big warning message saying "IRQ storm can occur
and you better switch to libata if that happens". But if anyone else is
up for the job of fixing IDE, please don't hesitate.
Thanks.

I've disabled IDE support in the config and recompiled the kernel.
It seems you are right, problem go away, new kernel was booted without any
problems and works well.

I'm very happy that we have found the cause of this issue, however it seems for
me you do not understand fully its severity for linux end-users.
At the present moment this issue is present in all vendor kernels, and they
cannot be installed on the huge number of end-user nodes. Moreover, end-user
nodes can have installed old Linux distribution where initscripts do not loads
all the detected modules at the boot-time. Linux may be installed and the
following situation is possible: kernel was booted and works well until some
user will going to access the CDROM.
>From end-users point of view this issue looks mystic and very dump: is the linux
stable? is it ready for desktop? $%^&#! It crashes when I accessing the CDROM! :(
As a linux support engeneer I've seen this issue several times on the user-nodes
and it was very hard to understand what's happened and how to prevent this issue
in the future. First question is resolved now but from support point of view it
is very important to find some workaround against this issue on existing
distributions. Right now I see only one way: if this issue is detected on the
user node, we can add something like "ide=disable" into kernel commandline.
Probably the better solution exists?
thank you,

I've tried to find the some work around for this issue. "hda=noprobe" helps, CD
is not detected on the node and all other devices on the node works well...
However if I have additional device who uses the same irq the issue returns
back. When I enable USB support on my testnode, one of USB controllers requests
the same IRQ line. And IRQ storm occurs again when I load uhci_hcd driver on the
node. It is very strange for me: we do not have any IDE devices in this case.
I would note, that I've seen the same behaviour when I detach the CDROM manually.
I've updated the bug.
Thank you,
Vasily Averin
