Not sure that's completely related, but would assume at least partially. I have two mini-servers, one with a Supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F (Atom C3758), and the other one with an older Supermicro A1SRM-2758F (Atom C2758F). I upgraded both from Debian Buster (kernel 4.19.194-3) to Bullseye (5.10.46-5). No issue on the C3758, but i was faced with severe performance regression on the C2758F. When running 5.10 on the C2758F, /proc/interrupts shows about 100k interrupts per second for 'IO-APIC 18-fasteoi i801_smbus', and overall performance suffers a lot (e.g. iperf between two KVM virtual machines bridged together is 93% slower with 5.10 than with 4.19). So far i was getting around the issue by blocklisting i2c_i801. After i found this, i tried adding the disable_features=0x10 option, and that worked too. I'm not using jc42 at all, sensors thresholds are set to correct values by the distro tools. # i2cdetect -l # sensors nvme-pci-0400 Adapter: PCI adapter Composite: +30.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +84.8°C) (crit = +84.8°C) Sensor 1: +30.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C) Sensor 2: +31.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +48.0°C (high = +98.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 1: +48.0°C (high = +98.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 2: +48.0°C (high = +98.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 3: +48.0°C (high = +98.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 4: +47.0°C (high = +98.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 5: +46.0°C (high = +98.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 6: +47.0°C (high = +98.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 7: +47.0°C (high = +98.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) # dmesg | egrep -i '(smbus|i801)' [ 2.226240] ismt_smbus 0000:00:13.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 2.229927] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0003) [ 2.230089] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: SPD Write Disable is set [ 2.230136] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: SMBus using PCI interrupt ~# lspci -nn | grep SMBus 00:13.0 System peripheral [0880]: Intel Corporation Atom processor C2000 SMBus 2.0 [8086:1f15] (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus [0c05]: Intel Corporation Atom processor C2000 PCU SMBus [8086:1f3c] (rev 03) # lspci -xxx -s 00:13.0 00:13.0 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Atom processor C2000 SMBus 2.0 (rev 03) 00: 86 80 15 1f 06 04 10 00 03 00 80 08 00 00 00 00 10: 04 70 31 df 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d9 15 20 08 30: 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff 01 00 00 40: 10 80 92 00 01 80 00 10 20 08 04 00 00 00 00 00 50: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 60: 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 70: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80: 01 8c 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 00 81 01 90: 04 00 e4 fe 00 00 00 00 21 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 a0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 10 00 10 80 f0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 # lspci -xxx -s 00:1f.3 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation Atom processor C2000 PCU SMBus (rev 03) 00: 86 80 3c 1f 03 00 98 02 03 00 05 0c 00 00 00 00 10: 00 40 31 df 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 01 e0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d9 15 20 08 30: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff 02 00 00 40: 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 60: 03 04 04 00 00 00 08 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 70: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80: 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 90: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0f 02 01 03 03 03 00
