Bug#497562: Patch from Red Hat

2009-03-17 Thread hitoht
I found this related information at Red Hat EL 4.8's RHSA-2009:0331-14.
The trouble caused by race conditions.

Information from Red Hat:
 * http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0331.html
 * = https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476533 (published info, link 
from RHSA-2009:0331-14)
 * = https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460179 (this is Red Hat's 
private)
 * Red Hat's 
patchname:linux-2.6.9-fs-fix-it-already-cleared-for-block-errors.patch
linux/fs/buffer.c::void unlock_buffer is :
{
+   smp_mb__before_clear_bit();
clear_bit_unlock(BH_Lock, bh-b_state);
smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
wake_up_bit(bh-b_state, BH_Lock);
}

They said, 
 a misplaced memory barrier at unlock_buffer() could lead to a concurrent
 h_refcounter update which produced a reference counter leak and, later, a
 double free in ext3_xattr_release_block(). Consequent to the double free,
 ext3 reported an error
 
 ext3_free_blocks_sb: bit already cleared for block [block number]

 and mounted itself as read-only. With this update, the memory barrier is
 now placed before the buffer head lock bit, forcing the write order and
 preventing the double free. (BZ#476533)

This is upstream development. Get the patches into that tree and don't
dump it in the Debian kernel.

Missing kernel vserver-sparc64-smp?

2009-03-17 Thread Sander Marechal
Hello,

Sun Microsystems has recently donated a very nice machine to my FOSS
project (http://www.officeshots.org). It has four TI UltraSparc IIIi
processors and 8 GB RAM. At the moment it is running Debian Lenny with
the sparc64-smp kernel.

I want to run multiple virtual machines on it but there aren't many
solutions available on sparc64. I found one strange thing though. Debian
Lenny ships with SMP and uniprocessor kernels for sparc64, but the
vserver enabled kernel is only shipped as uniprocessor, not as an SMP
kernel. Here's what I have available according to Aptitude:

p   linux-image-2.6-sparc64
  - Linux 2.6 image on uniprocessor 64-bit UltraSPARC

i   linux-image-2.6-sparc64-smp
  - Linux 2.6 image on multiprocessor 64-bit UltraSPARC

p   linux-image-2.6-vserver-sparc64
  - Linux 2.6 image on uniprocessor 64-bit UltraSPARC, Linux-VServer
support

Why is vserver only shipped as uniprocessor? Also, why are there
separate smp and uniprocessor kernels at all for sparc64? I was under
the impression that smp_alternatives has made this practice obsolete
since Debian Etch, or does smp_alternatives only work on x86 and x86-64?

Kind regards,

To be exact, there are two:
- Sun LDoms
- Linux VServer

 I found one strange thing though. Debian
 Lenny ships with SMP and uniprocessor kernels for sparc64, but the
 vserver enabled kernel is only shipped as uniprocessor, not as an SMP
 kernel.

It is SMP, the description is wrong.

Build problems on Squeeze

2009-03-17 Thread Nico Schottelius
Hello!

I've two identical Lenovo X200 here, one with Debian Lenny,
one with Debian Squezze.

For some days, all kernels built on the squezze machine
instantly reboot at (about half a second after loaded by grub)
bootup.

I'm using identical version of the kernels (wireless-testing,
linux-2.6, linux-next) and configurations [0] on both machines.

Thread on LKML is http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/13/395.

Anyone an idea, what may be broken or did you see the same
problems?

Sincerly,

Nico

 Justification: breaks unrelated software
 
 Uninexistant syscalls on mips/mipsel return -ENOSYS errno instead of 
 ENOSYS. Moreover in some cases it even returns EINVAL instead of ENOSYS.
 This make userland software like glibc or coreutils unable to detect 
 that the syscall does not exist and implement a fallback, which leads
 to breakage like 'touch' not working anymore.
 
 This is especially true for lenny running with a kernel from etch, and
 will become more true with sid with a kernel from lenny as the glibc 
 version increases.
 
 This has been fixed in kernel 2.6.28, so kernels from etch, etchnhalf
 and lenny are affected. The patch series below applies for all of 
 them.
 
etchnhalf kernel is a different source package. Cloning the bug.

What kind of hardware? IBM/Lenovo? Does it occur under high load or
really at random X? Is it a notebook? Are you using it inside a
docking station?

Take a closer look at /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature and
in case it's IBM/Lenovo hardware check out the module thinkpad_acpi
and files like /proc/acpi/ibm/fan. If your system shuts down check
out the temperature information available within BIOS.

originaly we used oldconfig. the trouble was that notorious arches

would break. now there is an upstream silentoldconfig.

reportoldconfig reports variables as not set that are selected
due to choices. DVB_STB0899 beeing selected due to

the only interesting setting that wasn't set at this point was
OPTIMIZE_INLINING.

thus it is more interesting to have an oldconfig build run
on every arch one cares to have the really open variables set.

kconfigeditor2 seems to be able to nuke old variable settings
that are no longer around.

Bug#520009: ext3 'data=foo' on root fs is broken

2009-03-17 Thread maximilian attems
On Mon, 16 Mar 2009, Peter Samuelson wrote:

 However, it also has a restriction that you cannot change the 'data='
 parameter with 'remount'.  Therefore, you have to pass the correct one
 at initial mount time, even though the data= parameter does not
 directly affect a read-only fs.  If you don't specify, you get
 data=ordered.
 
 initramfs-tools should not pick up data= from /etc/fstab, but it does
 not. 

too many negations in one line, what are you trying to say?


 The workaround is 'rootflags=data=foo' on the kernel command
 line.

how is rootflags an workaround that has always been the correspondent
bootparam?
 
 The consequence is that the root fs cannot be remounted rw:
 
 EXT3-fs: cannot change data mode on remount
 mount: / not mounted already, or bad option

are you saying that rootflags, doesn't work!??

debug options are not turned on for regular use,

so this falls under feature request for reportoldconfig

Bug#520009: ext3 'data=foo' on root fs is broken

2009-03-17 Thread Peter Samuelson

  initramfs-tools should not pick up data= from /etc/fstab, but it does
  not. 

[maximilian attems]
 too many negations in one line, what are you trying to say?

Yes, I meant to say: initramfs-tools should pick up data= from
/etc/fstab, but it does not.

  The workaround is 'rootflags=data=foo' on the kernel command
  line.
 
 how is rootflags an workaround that has always been the correspondent
 bootparam?

It is a workaround, because it causes the system to boot normally,
i.e., it successfully works around the problem that the initramfs does
not pass the correct mount option.

  The consequence is that the root fs cannot be remounted rw:
  
  EXT3-fs: cannot change data mode on remount
  mount: / not mounted already, or bad option
 
 are you saying that rootflags, doesn't work!??

No, sorry, I meant: this is the consequence of the bug, if you do not
apply the workaround (to menu.lst or whatever).

hey,
 We have a kernel security update prepared for lenny that contains a
significant amount of arch-specific code changes. We are looking for
pre-release testers - particularly those running alpha, mips, sparc
and s390 gear.

I've staged the upload here:

If you are interested in participating, please  upgrade your system and
send me an e-mail (off-list please) about which flavor  you are
