I don't see why you are blaming em, you can see its on MSIX vectors that are NOT storming, its something with USB as noted. Trying to disable em from using MSIX is in exactly the wrong direction IMHO. Jack On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 8:32 AM, Daan Vreeken wrote: > Hi Steven, > > On Friday 06 May 20

OK, but the reason you see the multiple cases of irq 16 is that's the bridge, once you are using MSIX, as vmstat shows, its using other vectors. Can you capture the messages file with the actual storm happening? I noticed some complaints about checksums in the dmesg, have you checked on BIOS upgr

Who makes your motherboard? The problem you are having is that MSIX AND MSI are both failing as em0 comes up, so it falls back to Legacy interrupt mode, and must be having some issue with sharing the line, causing the storm. This is the second report in a matter of a week perhaps about a problemat

Hi All, I've just updated a machine to -current (r221321) and since then I'm seeing an interrupt storm on irq 16. The storm goes away when I disable MSI/MSIX with the following lines in "loader.conf" : hw.pci.enable_msix="0" hw.pci.enable_msi="0" According to "dmesg" the follow
