This happens to two of my three computers: one desktop DELL and one
Samsung R40 laptop. All of them are running the current Lenny. Sometimes
it doesn't happen in a week, sometimes happens twice a day. There doesn't
seem to be something obvious triggering the bug, and I hardly ever use the
DVD drive on either machine. When it happens, hald-addon-storage starts
taking 100% CPU, and the load average skyrockets. Acting quick and killing
hald-addon-storage while I can still type in xterm is the only thing that
saves me from rebooting.
Here is what the repeating strace pattern looks like:
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0
open("/dev/hdc", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
ioctl(5, CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS, 0x7fffffff) = 4
ioctl(5, CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED, 0x7fffffff) = 0
ioctl(5, SG_IO, 0xbfc1e0c8) = 0
close(5) = 0
gettimeofday({1206833042, 91862}, NULL) = 0
The klog pattern looks like in the original report. However, I'm not
seeing any driver crashes there.
