Bug#939697: Confirming bug 939697 on HP laptop.
Hello!
I am just replying to confirm the bug affecting my machine.
It's visible that the syslogs are flooded with similar errors from
kernel when I do `journalctl -xef`. Here's a snippet:
okt 21 20:45:56 * kernel: b44 0000:02:0e.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz:
66 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
okt 21 20:45:56 * kernel: b44 0000:02:0e.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz:
179 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
okt 21 20:45:56 * kernel: b44 0000:02:0e.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz:
609 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
I have an HP Compaq nx7400 laptop with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @
1.83GHz and 4GB of RAM and am running Ubuntu with what seems to be the
affected version:
Linux * 5.3.0-59-generic #53~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 4 14:58:26 UTC
2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am experiencing some minor hiccups and freezes when using the
computer but I am not sure whether this is the direct cause. Sometimes,
under heavy load, my computer freezes and can only be rebooted from the
magic Alt+SysRq+B sequence. Before that, I can only see systemd-
journald pushing load average to 40 on a 2 core machine, but the logs
are never saved because the whole system hangs.
The ethernet card also matches the description, seeing from the PCI
slot number; it's probably the cause of the issue, however, browsing
the Internet works:
02:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4401-B0
100Base-TX (rev 02)
I can provide more logs - feel free to contact me.
Regards.
