[Bug 41589] kIrDAd uses ~100% CPU

Fri Apr 28 07:32:37 UTC 2006

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Major
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I have recently been commenting and filing bugs about frequency scaling not working on my computer, because it was running hot.
But, I just noticed that it wasn't the scaling that was bad, but a process named "kIrDAd" that was stealing almost all my processing power, and thus making the computer go hot.
I was not sure under what package to file this bug.
In kernel 2.6.15-19-386  I don't have this problem, but then it seems like no ir modules are loaded, and I can't sync with my cellphone.
Booting into the 2.6.15-21 kernel where this problem occurs, and trying to kill the evil process didn't do anything good. after that I could not even reboot.
