[Xen-devel] Losing PS/2 Interrupts

[Thomas Goetz <tcgoetz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running PVOPs 2.6.38 on Xen 4.0.2 RC3 and while booting a guest I lose 
interrupts for the PS/2 trackpad. The trackpad stops functioning because the 
device is waiting for service. I added a work around that calls i8042_interupt 
form a timer if it hasn't been called in 1s and it started working again. I 
added some code to Xen to count IRQ 12 and compared that to the IRQ 12 count in 
//proc/interrupts (I stopped PS/2 activity and waited for PS/2 interrupt 
activity to stop before taking the counts). I lose one interrupt in Dom0 every 
time the trackpad freezes.


(XEN) IRQ 12 count 21048
12:      21047          0  xen-pirq-ioapic-edge  i8042   <--- lost an interrupt 
in dom0
...

(XEN) IRQ 12 count 48540
12:      48537          0  xen-pirq-ioapic-edge  i8042   <--- lost 3 interrupts 
in dom0


I looked at the point at which the trackpad gets it's last interrupt in a trace 
and the other major activity at that time is the event channel that services 
the Qemu vcpu io_req code.

This 2.6.38 tree has a merge of Stafano's 2.6.39 fixes in drivers/xen/events.c.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
