High load from process irq/65-i2c-INT3 - kernel module tps6598x

High load from process irq/65-i2c-INT3 - kernel module tps6598x

[Jürgen Stauber]

Hi all,

I was made aware in the following launchpad bug report, that I should report the issue directly with the upstream maintainers: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1883511

As mentioned in the report, I experience high cpu load due to an interrupted irq/65-i2c-INT3 process. A short fix is to unload the kernel module tps6598x.

Please be lenient with me, since I’ve got no glue whether I’m doing this correctly.

In case you need more details/logs/information, please let me know.

Kind regards
Juergen

Hi Jürgen,

I'm sorry about the late reply (vacation).

There is one thing that you may be able to try. If you can enter the
BIOS menu, then you should be able to disable an option called
"UCMCx". Unfortunately I don't know the full path to that option in
the BIOS menu of the NUC, or is entering the BIOS menu possible in the
first place. It is also possible that there is no option "UCMCx" at
all.

Unfortunately I don't have access to NUC10 at the moment, but I'll try
get one.

Hi Heikki,

unfortunately I didn’t find any UCMCx option within the UEFI bios.
