syslog is spammed with " wme:wme_qdiscop_enqueue ht_queue=4,queue=2 pool=0xF qdisc=ffff81007c4548c0" on hardy

I am getting similar syslog messages on a lenovo R61 2.6.24-7-generic
(p.s. had to upgrade bios to get 2 usb ports to work without irqpoll on command line)

Feb 13 21:02:37 linux kernel: [ 427.224519] wme:wme_qdiscop_enqueue ht_queue=4,queue=2 pool=0xF qdisc=df9b9880

Feb 13 21:02:39 linux kernel: [ 429.359222] wme:wme_qdiscop_enqueue ht_queue=4,queue=2 pool=0xF qdisc=df9b9880

I get the same message, with a different "qdisc":

[31122.244861] wme:wme_qdiscop_enqueue ht_queue=4,queue=2 pool=0xF qdisc=f7fd9a80
[31122.246432] wme:wme_qdiscop_enqueue ht_queue=4,queue=2 pool=0xF qdisc=f7fd9a80
[31122.248044] wme:wme_qdiscop_enqueue ht_queue=4,queue=2 pool=0xF qdisc=f7fd9a80

The messages are dumped in /var/log/debug, /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog. There's so many of them that the processor and disc are over 80% usage all the time, syslogd taking most of that AFAIK. It already filled my root partition once (I didn't think to put /var on a separate partition when I built the system) with a GB or so of messages. And my laptop's hot all the time :-(

This is a Dell latituted D620.

And the output of lshw.

Oh, I forgot: $ uname -a
Linux arioch 2.6.24-7-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 7 01:29:58 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

I also see this (from the duplicate bug #191479). Uploading kern.log, since that seems to be the last piece missing from the kernel triage guide, and marking as "confirmed".

I can confirm this on my Thinkpad T60 too. Using iwl3945 driver here.

Any chance on a backport to 2.6.22 for gutsy?

I'm on 2.6.24-12-generic and still have this issue.

It's back on 2.6.24-14-generic
My syslog is now close to a gig and filled with
Apr 4 03:09:54 phoenix kernel: [14084.331146] wme:wme_qdiscop_enqueue ht_queue=4,queue=2 pool=0xF qdisc=dfb85080

Three for each second.

Reopening as confirmed.

One of the debug noise patches was missed when updating iwlwifi in LBM.

Michael - Do you have linux-backports-modules installed? I think that is where the debug message is coming from.

oops - wrong project

Yes, I do have l-b-m installed.

But why does l-b-m have anything in it before release? I thought it would be populated by the Ubuntu backports project post-install? Or am I misunderstanding the difference between linux-ubuntu-modules and linux-backports-modules?

I chose to leave LUM at iwlwifi 1.2.0 in order to maintain Centrino brand certification (Intel's officially supported version). However, there are some environments (WPA enterprise) that require updated iwlwifi. LBM is simply the delivery vehicle for that elective installation.

Gotcha, makes sense.

Thanks the info and the fix.

support for Gutsy has expired.
