Bug#501985: linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686: No nfs support in openvz guest

2008-10-12 Thread Yann Rouillard
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686
Version: 2.6.26-5
Severity: important


I recently tried the openvz linux kernel flavour and has some issue
with mounting nfs partitions in an openvz guest.

I followed the instructions at http://wiki.openvz.org/NFS

openvz-host# cat /proc/sys/kernel/ve_allow_kthreads 
1

openvz-host# lsmod | grep -w ^nfs
nfs   214568  0 

openvz-host# grep FEATURE /etc/vz/conf/200.conf 
FEATURES=nfs:on 

When I launch the openvz guest in verbose mode, I see that nfs is
enabled in the feature mask:

openvz-host# vzctl start 200
Starting VE ...
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota show 200 
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota on 200 -r 0 -b 1048676 -B 1153124 -i 200100 
-I 220100 -e 0 -n 0 -s 0 
Mounting root: /var/lib/vz/root/200 /var/lib/vz/private/200
VE is mounted
Set iptables mask 0x17bf
Set features mask 0002/0002
Adding IP address(es): 192.168.122.80
Running: /usr/lib/vzctl/scripts/vps-net_add 
/usr/share/doc/vzctl/README.Debian.
Running VE script: /etc/vz/dists/scripts/debian-add_ip.sh
Setting CPU units: 1000
Configure meminfo: 65536
Running VE script: /etc/vz/dists/scripts/set_dns.sh
File resolv.conf was modified
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota stat 200 -f 
Running: vzquota setlimit 200 -b 1048576 -B 1153024 -i 20 -I 22 
-e 0 -n 0 
VE start in progress...

however the nfs filesystem is still unknown in the openvz-guest:

openvz-guest# cat /proc/filesystems   
ext3
nodev   sysfs
nodev   proc
nodev   tmpfs
nodev   devpts

openvz-gest# mount -t nfs nfs_server:/home /home
mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfs'

I had a look at the openvz patch:
kernel-patches/all/2.6.26/debian/features/all/openvz/openvz.patch.bz2

and this patch doesn't seem to contain some nfs code that is found in 
linux-patch-openvz.
For instance, the openvz patch used in linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686 doesn't 
modify 
the fs/nfs/super.c file although the linux-patch-openvz does.

So I wonder if nfs is enabled in openvz kernel image, and if it's not if
could be enabled ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

 Hi folks

 No objection from d-i POV. I'll wait it to be built on all
 architectures and do a massupload.
 
 The just missed one is mipsel, I hope it gets done by tomorrow.

unblocked, I fear that it will still take a couple of hours till that
one is built.

the upstream nfs fixes are abi breakers and thus can't be integrated
at this point they will be for the first point release were abi
breaking will be allowed again.

Re: anyone running a PS3

2008-10-12 Thread sean finney
(d-k folks, please let me know if you're feeling spammed by the cross-posting)

okay, reporting back in on this...

using the 2.6.26.5 kernel from the debian kernel snapshot repo, the system
successfully boots up!

however, there seems to be another, perhaps more subtle problem lurking
in this kernel too.  the symptoms are a system which gradually slows
down, to the point of being unresponsive and needing a hard-reboot, and
individual processes hanging in an unkillable state.  

typically this takes about an hour or two.  the first time it happened i
was in the middle of installing about a gig of packages (apt-get install
gnome...), another time it was while trying to play a video.

occassionally kernel log messages pop up regarding what seems to be the
wireless component of the gelic module (i'm not using it, but maybe n-m
is tickling it), and sometimes specific proccesses (apt-get in the previous
paragraph) will hang; several minutes after a kill -9 the kernel will
issue some kind of message about the task not responding.  sorry this
isn't really specific, i didn't have any kind of console logging set up
(i'll get a copy of it hte next time it happens).

i'll also try installing some vanilla upstream kernels to see if they suffer
from the same problems...

  (cc'ing debian-kernel now too, for some feedback)
 
  d-k folks: the issue is that the ps3 fails to boot with the latest lenny
  2.6.26 kernels, due to what appears to be a kernel bug which has been
  fixed upstream).
 
  my original post:
 
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2008/10/msg00029.html
 
 
  so where was i... yes, it seems that it's in fact a kernel bug.
 
  i updated to the latest kboot, which also had the same problem booting the
  kernel.  then googling for ps3 2.6.26 leads to the following:
 
  http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19t=4063start=0st=0sk=tsd=a
 
  (scroll down a bit searching for 2.6.26)
 
  which points to:
 
  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/972382
 
  which mentions an obscure intterupt handling bug causing the problem, and
  which points to:
 
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=de85422b94ddb23c021126815ea49414047c13dc
 
  which was accepted into the -stable queue for 2.6, which was then released
  as part of 2.6.26.6:
 
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git;a=commit;h=90e21dd5346538810cff7f5fa2d3b0ae4c88989d
 
  so thanks for the pointer.
 
  d-k folks: is there any feasibility for getting this fix into lenny, or am I
  just SoL?

Bug#494007: binary firmware in drivers/char/drm/r128_cce.c

2008-10-12 Thread Ben Hutchings
Here's a patch to make r128 use request_firmware.  This is
compile-tested only as I don't have appropriate hardware.  The firmware
file can be produced by writing the array as 32-bit little-endian
values.  However, there is still a problem with its licence.

Ben.

Bug#494009: binary firmware in drivers/char/drm/radeon_microcode.h

2008-10-12 Thread Ben Hutchings
Here's a patch to radeon to make it use request_firmware.  This is
compile-tested only, but I have hardware I can test on shortly.  The
firmware files can be produced by writing the arrays as 32-bit
little-endian values.  They should be suitable for inclusion in
firmware-nonfree, so I am including a patch for that as well.

Ben.

Very nice!  Where did you find it?

 Adding this to the kernel source package should fix this bug.

Actually, it should be assembled and used.  AFAICT this is for an m68k
processor.  I suppose we have a command to assemble this code in
binutils-multiarch or so?

2008-10-12 Thread Ben Hutchings
You could use this patch and firmware format instead:

Bug#501153: Tehuti driver and firmware distribution for Linux

2008-10-12 Thread Ben Hutchings
I am writing as a member of the Debian project, which distributes a
version of Linux.  The project is attempting to resolve the licencing of
firmware used with Linux.  The following may require attention by your
legal department.

Linux includes a driver and firmware which are listed as copyright of
Tehuti Networks and licenced under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL).
Thank you for supporting Linux and free software.

Unfortunately, applying the GPL to the firmware is problematic, because
you distribute it in binary (or equivalent) form, and not the source
code that your programmers used to create it.  The GPL states that
anyone redistributing a work that it covers must also offer to
distribute the source code.  This means that strictly speaking no-one
outside Tehuti Networks is allowed to distribute the firmware, which I
assume was not your intent.

Please can you clarify the licence for the firmware, and preferably
issue a new licence that clearly allows Debian and others to distribute
the firmware.

Ben.

Bug#498631: Sun GigaSwift driver and firmware distribution for Linux

2008-10-12 Thread Ben Hutchings
I am writing as a member of the Debian project, which distributes a
version of Linux.  The project is attempting to resolve the licencing of
firmware used with Linux.

Linux includes a driver (cassini) and firmware for GigaSwift NICs which
are listed as copyright of Sun Microsystems and licenced under the GNU
General Public Licence (GPL).  Thank you for supporting Linux and free
software.

Unfortunately, applying the GPL to the firmware is problematic, because
you distribute it in binary (or equivalent) form, and not the source

Bug#494007: binary firmware in drivers/char/drm/r128_cce.c

2008-10-12 Thread Ben Hutchings
I asked Dave Airlie about this:

23:36  bwh airlied: Do you know who might be a good person to write to
at ATI/AMD about the licence for firmware in r128?
23:48  airlied bwh: what license you want it under? its already MIT
licensed.
23:50  bwh airlied: Is it? Thing is, r128_cce.c doesn't have any ATI
copyright notice on it.
23:51  airlied bwh: fail.. it probably should have, its still MIT
licensed though.
23:52  bwh So would someone at ATI be able to confirm that?
23:53  airlied well the r128_cce.c has the MIT license on top
23:53  airlied I'm just looking to see if I have the original DDK
release.
23:55  bwh airlied: cheers
23:56  airlied so the original table was just released under NDA, with
permission to reuse in open source.
23:58  bwh Funny sort of NDA ;-) Do you have some legally meaningful
statement of the permission that you could forward?
23:58  airlied bwh: why funny?
23:58  airlied I get lots of NDAs like that.
23:59  airlied nope I've gotten nothing real, I doubt anyone in AMD
has either, this is like a 10 year old part.

I don't know if this is sufficient assurance of its licence.

Ben.

Bug#501152: binary firmware in drivers/net/starfire_firmware.h

2008-10-12 Thread Ben Hutchings
FreeBSD appears to have copied the proper copyright notices into their
versions of the firmware:
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/sf/starfire_rx.h
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/sf/starfire_tx.h

(c)2001 Adaptec, Inc. By using this software you agree that it is
licensed to you AS IS and that Adaptec makes no warranties,
express or implied, regarding the Software.
Any redistribution of this Software must include this disclaimer and
copyright notice.

So this ought to be OK for firmware-nonfree.

Ben.

Bug#444880: Re-opening awaiting fixed-version info

2008-10-12 Thread Johan Walles
Hi!

I'll be re-opening this in a short while while waiting for information
about which kernel version this bug has been fixed in.  Without
knowing which kernel version  has the fix this is really hard for me
to verify.

If this has not been fixed, feel free to just leave this bug open until it is.

  Regards //Johan
