Bug#1077516: amdgpu (xorg) crashes with kernel: [drm:amdgpu_job_timedout [amdgpu]] *ERROR* ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, signaled

2024-07-29 Thread Alois Schlögl

Package: firmware-amd-graphics
Version: 20230210-5


*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where 
appropriate ***


   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

   Occasionally, the screen of my Lenovo/T14s goes black or the 
X-session is restarted.


   Here is a procedure how reproduce this issue:
   - running the installer of flowjo [1] within wine [2] crashes the 
x-sessions or the
   [1] 
https://fjinstallers.s3.amazonaws.com/FlowJo/FlowJo-Win64-10.10.0.exe
   [2] I used wine-devel (wine 9.13), but I expect this this will be 
reproducible with wine 8.x too.

   However, occassianally the issue occurs also in other cases.

   The logs during this crash are attached.
   After uninstalling "firmware-amd-graphics/20230210-5" from debian 
bookworm  and rebooting the machine, the problem went away (also at the 
cost that no 2nd screen is available).


   Installing the more recent version of
  firmware-amd-graphics/20240709-1
   from testing repository fixes this issue.

   Therefore, I believe that firmware-amd-graphics/20230210-5 is buggy, 
and the more recent version of firmware-amd-graphics should be used.

Bug#1050446: nfs over rdma between debian12 client and debian11 server can cause data corruption

2023-11-09 Thread Alois Schlögl



Severity: wishlist

We run more tests, and observed that pgrading the storage server to 
Debian12(/bookwork solves the issue.

The storage server can be accessed through rdma from debian11 and 12.

That means, the problem occurs only when the storage server is on 
debian11, the client is on debian11 mounted with proto=rdma.


This information is good enough for us, as we'll upgrade first the 
storage server.


Another workaround is to switch to proto=tcp

As this issue (proto=rdma from debian12 client to debian11 server) is 
difficult to fix and a workaround exists, I'll downgrade the severity.




Bug#1050446: nfs over rdma between debian12 client and debian11 server can cause data corruption

2023-08-24 Thread Alois Schlögl

Package: nfs-common,rdma-core

I've been testing the upgrade of a compute node from Debian11 to Debian12.
That node was connected through nfs with rdma protocol to a zfs-storage server 
running on Debian11.
The compute node and the storage server are part of a high-performance compute 
cluster, connected over infiniband.
Not sure whether this is important, but the storage server is using zfs.

After the upgrade of the compute node (node client) to Debian 12, this machine could not 
correctly read a few (small) files. The files were correctly shown with "ls", 
and the size matched as well.
However the content was corrupted (looked like random garbage). In one case the 
.ssh/authorized_keys was corrupted, in some other case the "version.lua" from 
the lmod system was affected, rendering lmod unusable.
Interestingly, only very few files seemed to be affected. Most files were 
correctly retrieved.

So this is a very subtle error, and not obvious.
When retrieving these files, no error was reported, but data of the expected 
size was retrieved.
Effectively, the retrieved data was corrupted, and could lead to potential data 
loss.

The compute node on Debian12 had

ii  libnfsidmap1:amd641:2.6.2-4 
  amd64NFS idmapping library
ii  nfs-common1:2.6.2-4 
  amd64NFS support files common to client and server
ii  librdmacm1:amd64  44.0-2
  amd64Library for managing RDMA connections
ii  rdma-core 44.0-2
  amd64RDMA core userspace infrastructure and documentation
ii  rdmacm-utils  44.0-2
  amd64Examples for the librdmacm library


The storage server on Debian11 had
ii  nfs-common 1:1.3.4-6  amd64 
   NFS support files common to client and server
ii  nfs-kernel-server  1:1.3.4-6  amd64 
   support for NFS kernel server
ii  librdmacm1:amd64   33.2-1 amd64 
   Library for managing RDMA connections


The problem went away, when changing nfs mount protocal from proto=rdma to 
proto=tcp.

I tried to learn about this incompatibility, but did not find any information.
I'm also curious whether an nfs 2.6 server would correctly talk to an nfs 1.3 
client over rdma ?
Can anyone provide more information on that topic ?

Dear Maintainer,

and without

    I expect to be able to use the touchpad just out of the

Could you :

- Test with the last kernel uploaded to unstable 
(4.19.0-4:4.19.28) and confirm or

   not is the problem still exists ?

Dear Romain


I upgraded the kernel and rebooted:

schloegl@debian10:~$ uname -a
Linux debian10 4.19.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.28-2 (2019-03-15)
x86_64 GNU/Linux


With this kernel the trackpoint is working, the trackpad is 
still not

usable.

(This improves the situation because now at least one pointer 
device is

available).



Good, we did some progress :)

- According to the bug on launchpad and to the fix pushed 
upstream, the
   fix seems to be an hardware quirks, could you give me the 
output of the

   following command :
   $ /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/firmware_id

root@debian10:~# cat /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/firmware_id

Could you test the patch attached to this reply ?
(if you don't know how to do this, I can provide support)

I tried to followed these instructions:

https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-comm

4.5. Building a custom kernel from Debian kernel source

Specifically using the patched the sources,

*scripts/config --disable MODULE_SIG*
**scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO**
||*|make clean|* ||*|make deb-pkg

|*

and ended up with a kernel that does not boot (missing HD audio 
firmware),



Which procedure do you recommend to build and install a modified 
kernel ?




Hi,

Section 4.2 from
https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official 

, until test-patches should work. For the test-patches script, use 
the flavour and a

featureset as argument, when you invoke it, like this :

# debian/bin/test-patches -f amd64 -s none 
/path/to/0001-Input-elantech-disable-elan-i2c-for-L480.patch


This will apply the patch on the fly, configure the kernel for amd64
and build a version with a special changelog entry and a special 
suffix

version dedicated to the test version you generate.


In case of troubles, I can provide another way, from git with few
commands.


Hope this helps,
Regards,
Romain

Dear Romain,


your instructions to build the kernel worked fine, when trying to
install the kernel,

I tried to followed these instructions:

https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-comm

4.5. Building a custom kernel from Debian kernel source

Specifically using the patched the sources,

*scripts/config --disable MODULE_SIG*
**scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO**
||*|make clean|* ||*|make deb-pkg

|*

and ended up with a kernel that does not boot (missing HD audio firmware),


Which procedure do you recommend to build and install a modified kernel ?

Dear Romainm


I upgraded the kernel and rebooted:

schloegl@debian10:~$ uname -a
Linux debian10 4.19.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.28-2 (2019-03-15)
x86_64 GNU/Linux


With this kernel the trackpoint is working, the trackpad is still not
usable.

(This improves the situation because now at least one pointer device is
available).

Bug#924913: trackpad on L480 unusable after upgrade to testing

2019-03-18 Thread Alois Schlögl


Source: linux
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   On a Lenovo L480 laptop, I've upgraded Debian from 9 (stretch) to 10
(testing).
   After the upgrade, the touchpad and the trackpoint was not usable
anymore.


   This already has some bug report here,
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1803600

   As a workaround, one can run the command,
   sudo sh -c 'echo -n "elantech">
/sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol'
   in order to use the touchpad. However, on a GUI Interface and without
   an external mouse, it's impossible to apply this workaround
  (switching to the terminal -F1, login, and run the command
above might work)

   I expect to be able to use the touchpad just out of the box, not needing
   to run the above workaround

Bug#911743: enabling orange-fs in linux

2018-10-24 Thread Alois Schlögl

Package: linux 
Version: unstable 
Severity: wishlist 
Source: linux


We are looking into distributed, parallel filesystems like beegfs and
orangefs. I'd prefer orangefs (mainly because of its license terms).

We'd like to use Debian/stable for this set up, unfortunately, the
current debian kernel has orange-fs support disabled.

Based on an initial response from 
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2018/10/msg00181.html
I'm asking to enable orange-fs support in the linux kernel



Thanks for considering, 
   Alois
