I've removed you. I'm not positive this is a kernel bug so much as an issue with this specific issue. I'm hoping HP can test this same model and CPU and let us know if the issue is reproducible on a similar system. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: Colin Ian King (colin-king) => (unas

Per Narinder: Also on DL385p Gen8 is reported the kernel hang and storage controller in soft lock up mode with 14.4.4 and 16.04 images. And i believe it is hpsa driver error which is soft locking. I told HP team to look into it as HP owns the hpsa driver. So there's more than just the CPU time

The current firmware on this box is A28 02/06/2014 (not sure exactly what that corresponds to just yet, the HP website is less than forthcoming on firmware updates so far). You'd mentioned getting one of our firmware devs to take a look would you prefer I hold off on updating this system until the

OK, so the local APIC timer is not working as I expected. Perhaps it's not wired up to produce the timer interrupt as we expect. I've disabled the Local APIC timer and lo and behold it works fine: ./clocktest Testing for clock jitter on 8 cpus PASSED: largest jitter seen was 0.001365 Testing cl

Looks like when CPUs going into a deep C state idle the latency jitter is low, but when we go into a deep idle on a HLT or WAIT we're taking a while to get active again. With non-idle CPUs: ./clocktest Testing for clock jitter on 8 cpus PASSED: largest jitter seen was 0.000184 Testing clock dir
