[Bug 149997] Re: 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs)
A valid point. I think a fix that involves only one call to pcmcia_register_driver is the best option. I think the original bug/panic was caused by attempting to register twice when the first call succeeded. My != prevents the second call, but does disable the second set of devices. Is it possible to supply a different struct to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE and pcmcia_register_driver, but have the table in pcmcia_register_driver be the union of the current orinoco_driver and orinoco_overlap_driver? I'm going to try that here in a minute. -- 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 149997] Re: 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs)
I'm using the orinoco_cs driver with this patch (applies against 2.6.22-13.40) to send this attachment, so it seems to work. FWIW, if the first pcmcia_register_driver call succeeds but the second one fails ,then removing the module will probably cause a kernel panic. I think I'll try to make another patch to hopefully avoid that, but this patch in its current form is worth looking at anyway. ** Attachment added: "One attempt at fixing this bug" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/927/orinoco_cs-bkn2.patch -- 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

"For those devices, the first call to pcmcia_register_driver will fail" No, the first call is still going to succeed.

[Bug 149997] Re: 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs)
My understanding is that the orinoco_driver set of PCMCIA IDs is exported to allow auto-detection of those devices as belonging to orinoco_cs. IOW, if a device with an ID in orinoco_driver is hotplugged, orinoco_cs will automatically be loaded to support this device. Devices in orinoco_overlap_driver are also (theoretically) supported by hostap, and thus not advertised as orinoco_cs supported. So for those devices, a manual modprobe must be done. For those devices, the first call to pcmcia_register_driver will fail, and then the driver retries with orinoco_overlap_driver. Are there any known instances where the change from >= to != would cause a failure? I'm rebuilding a kernel package now to test on a couple of systems with orinoco wireless cards.

[Bug 149997] Re: 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs)
David's suggestion happens to work, but I think it leaves the driver broken in a more subtle manner (ISTM that a pcmcia_register_driver error could change the set of supported devices for no rational reason -- and even if that's not the case, IMO there are other reasons why the code doesn't quite make sense). The 2.6.22-13.40 changes to orinoco_cs.c are rather broken, but IMO it would be best to try to fix them rather than just revert them altogether. I'm not 100% sure what the best approach would be. My current plan is to create 2 or 3 patches (later today) and let the Ubuntu kernel maintainers decide which approach would be best. -- 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 149997] Re: 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs)
Linux 2.6.22.9 does not have this bug. Linux 2.6.22.9 with 2.6.22-13.40's orinoco_cs.c does have this bug. So, I'm pretty sure that the bug is in orinoco_cs.c. At this point, I don't think the fix is as simple as what David suggests, but I'm still in the process of trying to understand the situation. I'll probably try testing David's suggestion anyway, if for no other reason than to just see what happens. -- 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 149997] Re: 2.6.22-13 freezes during boot (related somehow to orinoco_cs)
I have a SUSPICION (untested) as to the source of this bug. In commit 0fd77efbd8364d6a2625bbc4b84c1f3c26387655, the following code appears: static int __init init_orinoco_cs(void) { + int status; + printk(KERN_DEBUG "%s\n", version); - return pcmcia_register_driver(&orinoco_driver); + status = pcmcia_register_driver(&orinoco_driver); + if (status >= 0) + status = pcmcia_register_driver(&orinoco_overlap_driver); + return status; } I think the (status >= 0) line should simply be (status != 0), as status==0 SHOULD indicate a successful register of the driver with the orinoco_driver array. Any other value would be an error code from bus_add_driver, driver_register, or pcmcia_register_driver.

Oh, by the way, here's how I'm reproducing this bug, starting from scratch: 1. Plug the computer into a wired network connection. 2. Install Gutsy Tribe 5. 3. Reboot into the newly installed system. 4. Run Update Manager. 5. Click "Check." 6. Perform a "partial upgrade" when prompted. 7. Once the partial upgrade finishes, reboot. 8. The new kernel fails to boot all the way. I haven't tried installing Gutsy beta then applying updates (yet). If that reproduces it, that would be quicker.
