vmunix function arg ticks flag in syslog.log

[Scholz]

I've got many, many messages in the syslog.log:

vmunix: function == 0xE0000000005216E0, arg == 0xE00000012E0F8400, ticks == 0xED4B22FB,  flags == 0x0

Have you any suggestions to resolve this....

Your system has been up too long.  Time to upgrade your firmware:

Hi,

Seems like it's related with firmware issue.
Can you paste here dmesg log

Thanks

you have a driver using a negative timeout hence the error message.

The best way to find out what is the problem is to log a call to HP support,

you can check what is the callback function with

echo 0x92c520?ia | adb -o /stand/vmunix

but this will give only indication on the potential root cause. - a streams_untimeout+0xf0 is only

showing that a a driver uses a streams_timeout() with a negative timeout.

The main known problem which gives that result is lmx:lmxpollport

https://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sfha/5.1sp1/hp-ux/productguides/html/sfrac_notes/ch01s09s...

1439223 The lmxpollport function times out with an incorrect timeout value on systems that have been running for more than 410 days. The issue was caused by the lbolt variable, which resets after 410 days.

oops,

the way to find the callback function is: "echo 0xE0000000005216E0?ia | adb -o /stand/vmunix"

same it is something like streams_timeout or streams_untimeout, it is potentially lmx driver

Else it need to be looked by hp support
