Bug 222723 – sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r3: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! (appears to be in USB core code)

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robert Clark 2008-05-18 20:51:44 UTC]

I have an intermittent lock up while using Wine to play World of 
Warcraft. I have not been able to determine a reliable way to 
reproduce this, but have noticed it since approximately the 2.6.23
kernel.

When the system locks up, it becomes completely unresponsive. Specifically:

   - UI frozen
   - no mouse control
   - no keyboard control (not event capslock LED)
   - no network access (will not respond to pigs from remote systems)

I have been able to get remote syslog to record the following before the 
system has to be be hard reset:

Is this reproducible in any way without a tainted kernel (nvidia)?

I see you're playng WoW via wine so I'm not sure if this is possible as I don't play games.

> Is this reproducible in any way without a tainted kernel (nvidia)?

Unfortunately no, I need to have nvidia in there to get X up and running. I believe (am guesing) the problem is related to the USB HID devices I'm using (mouse, headset) and I have only ever been able to reproduce this with WoW running.

[Comment 6 Mike Pagano 2008-07-21 17:35:39 UTC]

Have you tried to reproduce without the USB mouse or headset plugged in?

[Comment 7 Robert Clark 2008-07-21 19:28:43 UTC]

Since I've had real problem reproducing this reliably, I wanted to wait for a fair bit whenever I made a change trying to track this done.

I'm fairly confident that this is only reproducible with USB HID devices plugged into a USB HUB. When I plug the mouse/keyboard/headset/USB coffee warmer/whatever directly into the computer, the problem does not occur.

Given that there is a reasonable workaround for this, I'd suggest that the PR be given a lower priority than other kernel bugs. 

[Comment 8 Mike Pagano 2008-08-04 14:32:57 UTC]

Any updates on this bug?

Feel free to reopen if still an issue.
