Subject:   Panics after AHCI timeouts
Message-ID:  <20111008201456.GA3529@lexx.ifp.tuwien.ac.at>

Hello list!

In the view of upcoming RELEASE-9.0 I should have reported it earlier,
but it is better later than never... Every time I wanted to report
this, the system was ~one month old and I tried to upgrade it
to see, if the problem was still there, waiting for the next panic...
and when it finally paniced it was one month old again.

For some time (around half a year actually :) under some heavy disk load
my desktop panics. The panics are not 100% reproducible, two situations
which could lead to a panic are:
 - svn up in /usr/src
 - last stage of openoffice building (I think, during the packaging stage)

Updating the sources is less probable to panic the system (I would give
~30% of probability), but building OOO is close to 100% to cause the panic.

The root cause seems to be the Samsung hard drive in use -
it times out on some NCQ slots under heavy load.
Same problem is reported, for example here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/157397

Earlier this year (I would say March - May), AHCI handled these timeouts,
at least to the point when the disk (and, possibly, the controlled too)
were completely wedged (only power cycling had brought them back again,
reset was not sufficient). From ~June, however, the system paniced
right after the first timeout. So it is this panic immediately after ahci
timeout which could be hopefully fixed.

Some info about the system:

However, I do not have the old kernel for the core N 3 anymore
(but the current kernel is the one which produced core N 5).
