Hi,
I have the following setup with my jetson AGX Xavier:
My windows PC is connected to the jetson agx via usb (gadget port) and I have an SSD which I connected inside using the m.2 nvme interface mapped to be the backing storage of the mass storage device.
Now I have been running some benchmarking tests using Winsat to see what throughput I can get, and I encountered a recurring bug in which the transfer stops for 20 seconds at random times and then continues as nothing happened.
the command I run on the PC is the following (in cmd admin command prompt):
winsat disk -seq -write -drive E: -seqsize 524288 -v
And this is the output:
Run [1] Type[0x02000001] Zone[0] - 197.169459 MB/s
Run [2] Type[0x02000001] Zone[0] - 22.025154 MB/s
Run [3] Type[0x02000001] Zone[0] - 197.241335 MB/s
Run [4] Type[0x02000001] Zone[0] - 195.392863 MB/s
Run [5] Type[0x02000001] Zone[0] - 197.208295 MB/s
Run [6] Type[0x02000001] Zone[0] - 197.227573 MB/s
Run [7] Type[0x02000001] Zone[0] - 197.226710 MB/s
Run [8] Type[0x02000001] Zone[0] - 22.028424 MB/s
I had tweaked the kernel a bit to debug this problem, adding prints on reads and writes, this is the dmesg I get during the disconnection (when the transfer pace according to Winsat decreases):
[ +0.002897] my_do_write!

[ +0.001192] my_do_write!
now i opened wireshark on the usb interface and what i see is that a write request goes out at some time and from that point in time for the next 20 seconds
all I see are “URB_INTERRUPT in” messages at 32 and 27 frame size going in and out of the device 100 times a second for roughly 16 seconds around the timeframe the connection drop, as far as I can tell the PC doesn’t drop the connection so I suppose it is probably the jetson.
do you know what might cause this? is there any way to fix it?
thanks a bunch.
