2.6.12 vs. /sbin/cardmgr

2.6.12 vs. /sbin/cardmgr

[Bob Tracy]

I've got a Mandrake 10.0 system with a 2.6.12 kernel presently.
Somewhere between 2.6.11 and 2.6.12, /sbin/cardmgr from the
pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-3mdk package decided it needs to consume incredible
amounts of CPU time when invoked the first time following a boot.
You can definitely notice the load on the system.

Stopping cardmgr requires a "kill -9": softer kills are ignored.
Restarting cardmgr produces the following output:

cardmgr[3731]: watching 2 sockets
cardmgr[3731]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0xc00-0xcff: Device or resource busy
cardmgr[3731]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0x100-0x4ff: Device or resource busy
cardmgr[3731]: could not adjust resource: memory 0xc0000-0xfffff: Input/output error
cardmgr[3731]: could not adjust resource: memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff: Input/output error
cardmgr[3731]: could not adjust resource: memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: Input/output error
cardmgr[3731]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0x1000-0x1fff: Device or resource busy
cardmgr[3731]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0xa00-0xaff: Device or resource busy

But at least it doesn't seem to be running around in tight circles at
this point :-).

System is a Dell Latitude CPxJ notebook that continues to work fine
with 2.6.11 and older kernels.  Any idea what changed between 2.6.11
and 2.6.12 that might be causing this problem?  I can probably provide
more info on request.

As usual, thanks in advance.

Please post the output of "lspci" and "lsmod" as I'd like to know which
kind of PCMCIA bridge is in your notebook.

OK, it's a plain TI1225. Could you try whether the bug is still existent in
2.6.13-rc3, please?

Thanks,

2.6.13-rc3 works fine here.  The "cardmgr" process is no longer chewing
up lots of CPU time, and otherwise seems to be working correctly.  Thanks!

I spoke too soon :-(.  The first boot on 2.6.13-rc3 was fine.  Every
boot since then has reflected no change relative to the 2.6.12 behavior.
The "cardmgr" process racks up CPU time almost as fast as time
elapses: it's at the top of the "top" list.

Can you send me a dmesg of 2.6.13-rc3, please?

I turned off cardmgr for 2.6, CardBus works without it on slackware 
'cos pciutils is patched to provide a helper, what is 'correct' way 
to test this?  

Toshiba laptop with ToPIC100 bridge, currently not working for 
PCCard 16-bit things because I turned off cardmgr.  CardBus NIC 
works in 2.4 + 2.6 series.
