Bug#706201: linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.4-rt-686-pae: Bad vFAT USB pendrive get dead loop errors

2013-04-26 Thread rpnpif
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.41-2~bpo60+1
Severity: important

VFAT Filesystem on a Lexar USB pendrive have grave errors on the root directory.
Mounting works fine.
Reading the secondary directory named PVR and its files works fine.

But trying to read the root directory of the USB pen by ls command gives an 
huge lot of errors messages from kernel :
Directory bread failed.
Kernel goes in a dead loop to display the error messages on the system console 
(text mode) or in rsyslog (xorg mode).
Only an action with the poweroff button and restart can restore the system.
The USB pen was broken by a oversized file on a probably wrong external system 
(DVB recorder).
Fsck confirmed that the root directory is broken.

Expected result : Linux kernel should not go in an infinite loop by the errors 
on a removable peripheral, 
rendering unusable Debian Squeeze system.

 fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover
 
 commit 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 upstream.
 
 Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller
 already holds the locks.  Make the fb layer lock in order.
 
 This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about 
 the
 locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

 I didn't try to boot with this commit reverted, and looking at its size,
 I fear there will be some conflict to solve before attempting to do so.

 I guess it could be interesting to try 3.9-rc. to see how it
 behaves (I didn't see what have been merged in this area in the last
 merge window). I might try to connect through ssh to see if I get a
 trace.
 Same issue with 3.9-rc3, I'll try to find some time tomorrow in order to
 get eventual stack traces. 
 Some news here, the suspend/resume process is doing fine (I checked
 while connected via ssh), but what I didn't notice because I was in a
 dark room is that there is just no backlight.

 But I find a workaround, setting acpi_osi=!Windows 2012 in the kernel
 command line seems to inhibit the issue. I found this workaround
 accidentally because I need this parameter to make my brightness control
 working again (I reported this in #702188 btw).
 So are these the same bug or two different bugs?

 Well they both touch the backlight area, have the same workaround, but
 the latter appears in a specific case: resume from suspend. I still have
 3 revisions to test, hope that will give some clue.
 
 Ok, my laptop is back to the business, I finished the bisection and I
 have a completely different result from the first time:
 
 commit 719429a54d9c: drm/i915: write backlight harder
 
 I reverted it on top of 3.8.1, as expected that fixed the issue.
 By the way it is reverted in the last drm pull request sent by Dave
 Airlie.
 I guess it'll be spread in stable‽ 
 
 

 In any case, please do not use the reportbug --no-bug-script option, as
 the kernel bug script provides lots of useful information.  You can get
 that now by running:

 /usr/share/reportbug/handle_bugscript 
 /usr/share/bug/linux-image-3.8-trunk-amd64/script $FILE

 and sending us that output file.

 Hmm, I didn't use the '--no-bug-script' option explicitly, is that due
 to the fact I use the 'advanced' mode?
 Anyway I'll provide the output but that will have to wait a little bit
 because my power adapter
 died this afternoon :-(
 
 Attached!
 
 Thanks for your time,
 Vincent

Re: Donation of a Calxeda Highbank node

2013-04-26 Thread Hector Oron
Hello,

2013/4/12 Raphael Hertzog hert...@debian.org:

 OffensiveSecurity owns a Calxeda Highbank cluster of ARM machines[1] and is
 willing to dedicate one of the nodes to Debian.

Thanks, that is a very kind offer and with ARM hat on, we cannot
reject the offer, it makes it very interesting as a playground
machine. However, let me make some points here:

* ARM porters hat: It is very interesting machine, and very useful to
start experimenting with it as Debian is seeking for a full Calxeda
chassis.
* DSA hat: The machine shall not be a debian.org machine, so DSA could
export accounts if requested.
* Buildd hat: The machine shall not be used to run buildd software to
build official packages.
* Kernel hat: As Ben already stated, ARM multiplatform kernel should
already support this machine.

Now, Raphael, apparently you got a contact already with the donator
and a root account on the server machine. Would you be willing to
admin or handout root access to few ARM porters, so DD accounts could
either be exported or create local accounts for people willing to play
with the machine?

Best regards

yes, it should. My patched 3.8 multiplatform is more or less booting
with qemu emulating Highbank machine but I'm getting either some
warnings or it just hangs, don't know why. So, if we're lucky, it's
something related to qemu and it'll just work, if we're not some
patching will be needed.


 Now, Raphael, apparently you got a contact already with the donator

 admin or handout root access to few ARM porters, so DD accounts could

It would also be interesting to know if it's possible to test a kernel
to make sure that the multiplatform kernel will boot/work on it.

Thanks,
Arnaud

Did you get those answers from the relevant teams? Was there a rationale
for those answers?

I can give root rights to porters who want to administrate the machine,
yes.

I'd rather not have to take care of routine maintenance but I can stay as
a backup in case of need.

To be a useful porter machine, it would be nice if all DD can have access
to it. But if it's not administrated by DSA, I don't know if the newly
announced self-served chroot service can be setup on this machine.

Wheezy Wheezy XEN Kernel Different ?

2013-04-26 Thread gary mazzaferro
HI,

I was hoping someone can help me understand the difference between XEN
kernel installed with the XEN package and the stock wheezy RC1 kernel ?

I was under the impressions, from Ian Campell's XEN/Debian presentation,
that XEN DomU was native in the wheezy kernel..

Ian's presentation:

There is no difference, there is no Xen flavour Linux kernel any more in
Wheezy, the -amd64 or -686-pae flavours now work on top of Xen. (there
may be some transitional metapackages, I'm not sure).

Perhaps if you could reference to precise package names and versions you
are looking for information on someone can answer further.

 start experimenting with it as Debian is seeking for a full Calxeda
 chassis.
 * DSA hat: The machine shall not be a debian.org machine, so DSA could
 export accounts if requested.

Why in the world not?  I'm sure there's no requirement for debian.org
machines to be hardware owned by Debian.  The s390 porter machines/buildds
certainly aren't; I don't see why this machine would necessarily *not* be a
d.o machine managed by DSA.

Of course if it's going to be DSA-administered, I'm sure DSA would want
exclusive admin rights on the machine; but that's just common sense, and
AIUI not excluded by the offer.

 * Buildd hat: The machine shall not be used to run buildd software to
 build official packages.

Again, why not?  As far as I can see, this would be the single best use that
a Highbank node could be put to by the project.  As
http://release.debian.org/wheezy/arch_qualify.html shows, we have quite a
few more buildds deployed for both armel and armhf than is optimal - and in
the case of armhf, we have so many that we're technically exceeding the
release requirements.  A single Highbank node could replace at least 2 of
the fastest buildds we currently have in production... and probably
somewhere between 4 and 8 of the slow ones.  It absolutely makes sense to
leverage this donation as a buildd and decommision/reallocate some of the
lower-powered buildds, increasing the reliability of the buildd pool and
reducing the total machine management overhead.

Being the only highbank machine we have access to does imply some logistical
challenges for ensuring that we continue to have good kernel support during
the development cycle, so that release+1 will be supportable on the box. 
But this is a problem we've dealt with before, and certainly in this case
the upstream kernel support is quite good, which I think makes this a fairly
low risk.

Cheers,

If you're referring to the xen-linux-system-* packages, these are
simply metapackages that depend on appropriate versions of Xen and
Linux.  They don't contain alternate kernel images.
