Uwe Bugla napsal(a):
Hi folks,
Hi.
Once again and for the last time: I do not state that floppy.c is broken. I only state that it is immpossible to mount a floppy drive with kernel 2.6.21-rc1-git1. Kernel 2.6.20 is OK. But 2.6.21-rc1-git1 is definitely buggy! I did some work already: a. I copied the following modules from the intact and sane kernel 2.6.20 into the 2.6.21-rc1-git1 tree: cdrom.h, floppy.c, init.h, io.h, proc_misc.c, setup.c, timer.h, uaccess.h b. I adjusted some hunks of the patch for module main.c (part of patch-2.6.21-rc1) to make the kernel compile without errors. But the problem still persists, and I do not have any idea anymore where the offensive hunks in patch-2.6.21-rc1 could reside. Questions: a. Can someone please confirm the described problem?
Yup (last -mm).
b. Can someone please take action to find out where the buggy code resides?
I'll take a look. I've seen here and tried to debug it down some time ago without any result. Sysrq is dead, probably some kind of locking issue. LOCKDEP screams silence, code reading returned nothing. I thought, it's problem inside my setup, I gave it up (even reporting). But it seems to be real problem now.
c. Why is this untested material being pushed into main vanilla - what is going on at kernel.org please?
Hard to say, nobody is perfect, this should never happen, but unfortunately it does. regards, -- http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xslaby/ Jiri Slaby faculty of informatics, masaryk university, brno, cz e-mail: jirislaby gmail com, gpg pubkey fingerprint: B674 9967 0407 CE62 ACC8 22A0 32CC 55C3 39D4 7A7E Hnus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is an alias for /dev/null - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
