Bug#536337: linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64: nvclock operation results in 'freeing invalid memtype' log entries
Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.30-1
Severity: normal
As my plain old NVidia graphics card operates its fan normally at full fan speed, I use a small script to set fanspeed temperature dependent via 'nvclock -f -F' once per minute. When using kernel 2.6.30-1-amd64, every script run causes dmesg and syslog entries like
Jul 9 01:35:01 blechtrottel kernel: [ 6973.776487] nvclock:13257 freeing invalid memtype fd000000-fd010000
Jul 9 01:35:01 blechtrottel kernel: [ 6973.948144] nvclock:13257 freeing invalid memtype fd010000-fd030000
Jul 9 01:35:01 blechtrottel kernel: [ 6973.991183] nvclock:13261 freeing invalid memtype fd000000-fd010000
Jul 9 01:35:02 blechtrottel kernel: [ 6974.145357] nvclock:13261 freeing invalid memtype fd010000-fd030000
I searched a little bit around and found http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/17/365 which looks a little bit like a similar issue, except that my machine seems to work normally except those log entries (glxgears shows same fps like on 2.6.29-2-amd64 where these logentries do NOT appear).
Regards,
Edgar
