Hi,
I've noticed problems with PREEMPTION enabled in the kernel with the em
driver on a smp machine. With preemption disabled, the problems don't
arise.
I didn't notice problems with preemption with the bge driver.
The messages i get with preemption with the em driver active are these:
calcru: negative runtime of -891485461 usec for pid 45 (swi5: clock sio)
Output of ps waux:
root 45 0.0 0.0 0 8 ?? WL Tue03PM -2341058:-22.07
[swi5: clock sio]
Lots and lots of messages like these occur and /var/log/messages is full
of it. This does not occur when i disable preemption.
Oh yes, the release is 5-stable (RELENG_5 source from feb 8.)
Btw, i use the 4bsd scheduler on this machine, not ule (yet).
dmesg output from the machine: (i only use the em card, the fxp cards are
not used). Bye, Mipam.
