Re: megaraid irq disable after days

This is usually caused by the driver not returning IRQ_HANDLED.

Hello,

I have a problem with a kernel 2.6.10 (sources from debian) which
disable IRQ of my megraid (driver megaraid_mbox) on several servers
after days of work and several millions of interuptions.
When the IRQ is disable, the servers do that :

I haven't noticed something else curious on the servers.

hardware of these servers :
- bi Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz
- 4.5 GB of RAM
- MegaRaid SCSI 320-2 [1]

The kernel use SMP, HT, high memory support 64GB, megaraid_mbox driver
(v2.20.4.1, in module with initrd until yesterday) and don't use preempt.

As I didn't find anything that match IRQ disable and megaraid under
internet, I have tried several ways :
- at the beginning, the IRQ of eth0 and megaraid was shared. I have
corrected this [2] but the problem is staying.
- I have try newer version of the kernel 2.6.9 to 2.6.10. No benefic
result.
- I have try the boot option "acpi=ht". No benefic result.
- the firmeware of the megaraid has been upgraded (to the 1L37
version). No benefic result.

Since yesterday, I am trying, on all server which have the problem,
kernel 2.6.11.10 (source take kernel.org) with megaraid_mbox built-in
(v2.20.4.5) and with differents boot options on servers :
- "noirqdebug" and "acpi=ht"
- "noirqdebug" and "acpi=off"
- "acpi=off"
- "acpi=ht"

I have this problem since I installed them few weeks ago with my new
FAI (Debian Fully autmatic Installation). I have a lot of difficulty for
solving the probleme because servers can run without problem one or two
weeks. These servers are not yet in production but still in tests of
charge; they should be in production in one or two weeks... if I find a
way to correct this problem !

Do you have any ideas of which way I can search ?

Julien
