So your kernel is still feeding garbage into lockdep.
Are you really really sure that kernel had Herbert's patch applied?

Surprise surprise. The namespace seq patch missed two spots in
AF_PACKET.
[PACKET]: Fix /proc/net/packet crash due to bogus private pointer
The seq_open_net patch changed the meaning of seq->private.
Unfortunately it missed two spots in AF_PACKET, which still
used the old way of dereferencing seq->private, thus causing
weird and wonderful crashes when reading /proc/net/packet.
This patch fixes them.

Honest, guv. ;-) The persistent interface naming rules of udev, at least up to 0.114-2 (current debian unstable), seem to be easily confused if the driver names change for the same MAC address. This issue seems not to be b43 specific, it happens with zd1211rw --> zd1211rw_mac80211 (this one won't show up in mainline kernels), prism54 --> p54pci/ p54usb, out-of-tree RaLink legacy/ serialmonkey (which ignore interface renames through udev completely) --> rt2x00 just as well and I assume that it might also affect sk98lin --> skge/ sky and the upcomming e1000 --> e1000e transitions and similar situations. > > I really think everyone is overstating the problem. > > You might be right. It is of course confusing to the user and might affect remote updates, but it's also easily fixed by removing the generated MAC address mappings and letting udev generate new ones (+ post processing, if needed) during the next boot. > Greetings, > Rafael Regards Stefan Lippers-Hollmann -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I can reproduce this now. I suspect it's to do with the namespace
work. I'll let you know when I have digged further.

I suspect namespace borkage. But just because you pin-pointed
my patch I'll try to track it down :)

Unfortunately that doesn't work because we can then have two
CPUs trying to update the same counter which may corrupt it.
However, an optimisation is indeed possible with some work.
If we can get the address of the per-cpu counter against
some sort of a per-cpu base pointer, e.g., %gs on x86, then
we can do
incq%gs:(%rax)
where %rax would be the offset with %gs as the base. This would
obviate the need for the CPU ID and therefore avoid disabling
preemption.
Hmm, wasn't Christoph working on something like that?
Cheers,

[SNMP]: Fix SNMP counters with PREEMPT

Heh, my brain must have blocked me from seeing it because it's
too hard :)
Let's fix it the stupid way first and I'll do a local_t conversion
later.
[SNMP]: Fix SNMP counters with PREEMPT
The SNMP macros use raw_smp_processor_id() in process context
which is illegal because the process may be preempted and then
migrated to another CPU.
This patch makes it use get_cpu/put_cpu to disable preemption.

[PATCH 4/6] udf: fix 3 signedness & 1 unitialized variable warnings
sparse generated:
fs/udf/inode.c:324:41: warning: incorrect type in argument 4 (different
signedness)
fs/udf/inode.c:324:41:expected long *
fs/udf/inode.c:324:41:got unsigned long *
inode_getblk always set 4th argument to uint32_t value
3rd parameter of map_bh is sector_t (which is unsigned long or u64)
so convert phys value to sector_t
fs/udf/inode.c:1818:47: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different
signedness)
fs/udf/inode.c:1818:47:expected int *
fs/udf/inode.c:1818:47:got unsigned int *
fs/udf/inode.c:1826:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different
signedness)
fs/udf/inode.c:1826:46:expected int *
fs/udf/inode.c:1826:46:got unsigned int *
udf_get_filelongad and udf_get_shortad are called always for uint32_t
values (struct extent_position->offset), so it's safe to convert offset
parameter to uint32_t
gcc warned:
fs/udf/inode.c: In function 'udf_get_block':
fs/udf/inode.c:299: warning: 'phys' may be used uninitialized in this function
initialize it to 0 (if someday someone will break inode_getblk we will catch it
immediately)

Strange Memory Corruption Problem with Core2Duo E6700, P965 Chipset MB and >=4GB RAM
Hi Yesterday i upgraded an 1 year old System from 4x1GB (32Bit, No Memory-Remap) to 4x2GB (64Bit, Memory-Remap) Today i due to a lucky coincidence i discovered that i have a memory corruption problem. This problem happens only with at least 4GB RAM and Memory-Remap. It happens with any 2 of the 4x2GB RAM-Modules and regardless of slot or dual or single channel configuration. After some trying i found a way to "catch" the error. I wrote a small perl script to fill a tmpfs with 1MB zero-files. Then i MD5 all the files and discard all with the MD5-sum of a 1MB zero-file. Here is what hexdump says about the file-content of the "bad"-file when it is called several times. :/misc/badram> hexdump bad 000 * 00d50a0 84cf 1fff fd0f 00d50b0 * 00d90a0 161f 1fff 43ff 00d90b0 00d90c0 0001 00d90d0 * 010 :/misc/badram> hexdump bad 000 * 00d50a0 84cf 1fff fd0f 00d50b0 * 00d90a0 e59d 1fff 43bf 00d90b0 00d90c0 0001 00d90d0 * 010 :/misc/badram> hexdump bad 000 * 00d50a0 84cf 1fff fd0f 00d50b0 * 00d90a0 f7fb 1fff 43ff 00d90b0 00d90c0 0001 00d90d0 * 010 :/misc/badram> hexdump bad 000 * 00d50a0 84cf 1fff ff03 00d50b0 * 00d90a0 df3b 1fff 43ff 00d90b0 00d90c0 0001 00d90d0 * 010 Strange is that some parts are static and other parts change. Kernel is 2.6.23.11. Kernel is 64Bit/x86-64, Userspace is 32bit. I only need the RAM for a huge ramdisk, so i don't need 64bit userspace. Can anybody help me with this problem?

After many hours all outbound connections get stuck in SYN_SENT
Hello, I have a Java application that makes a large number of outbound webservice calls over HTTP/TCP. The hosts contacted are a fixed set of about 2000 hosts and a web service call is made to each of them approximately every 5 mintues by a pool of 200 Java threads. Over time, on average a percentage of these hosts are unreachable for one reason or another, usually because they are on wireless cell phone NICs, so there is a persistent count of sockets in the SYN_SENT state in the range of about 60-80. This is fine, as these failed connection attempts eventually time out. However, after approximately 38 hours of operation, all outbound connection attempts get stuck in the SYN_SENT state. It happens instantaneously, where I go from the baseline of about 60-80 sockets in SYN_SENT to a count of 200 (corresponding to the # of java threads that make these calls). When I stop and start the Java application, all the new outbound connections still get stuck in SYN_SENT state. During this time, I am still able to SSH to the box and run wget to Google, cnn, etc, so the problem appears to be specific to the hosts that I'm accessing via the webservices. For a long time, the only thing that would resolve this was rebooting the entire machine. Once I did this, the outbound connections could be made succesfully. However, very recently when I had once of these incidents I disabled tcp_sack via: echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack And the problem almost instanteaously resolved itself and outbound connection attempts were succesful. I hadn't attempted this before because I assumed that if any of my network equipment or remote hosts had a problem with SACK, that it would never work. In my case, it worked fine for about 38 hours before hitting a wall where no outbound connections could be made. I'm running kernel 2.6.18 on RedHat, but have had this problem occur on earlier kernel versions (all 2.4 and 2.6). I know a lot of people will say it must be the firewall, but I've seen had this issue on different router vendors, firewall vendors, different co-location facilities, NICs, and several other variables. I've totaly rebuilt every piece of the archtiecture at one time or another and still see this issue. I've had this problem to varying degrees of severity for the past 4 years or so. Up until this point, the only thing other than a complete machine restart that fixes the problem is disabling tcp_sack. When I disable it, the problem goes away almost instantaneously. Is there a kernel buffer or some data structure that tcp_sack uses that gets filled up after an extended period of operation? How can I debug this problem in the kernel to find out what the root cause is? I've temporarily signed up on this list, but may opt-out if I can't handle the traffic, so please CC me directly on any replies.

I've seen other laptop boards with port 80 decoders wired onto the board, even if the 7 segment display is only populated on debug builds. This is very helpful. So the next question is there something on the laptop mainboard. Any idea how to look for such a thing?

Re: [PATCH] x86: fix problems due to use of "outb" to port 80 on some AMD64x2 laptops, etc.
Here we go. # dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer Quanta # dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name 30B9 There do seem to be other systems, besides mine, that have the same problem. I think it's pretty likely that other machines that have this problem are Quanta machines, since Quanta is one of the primary ODM's that does HP laptops. Don't know about the product-name being common with the HP dv6000z family, which is another one reported to have this problem. We could try to ask all the reporters of hwclock freezes to report their results from dmidecode. Rene Herman wrote: On 15-12-07 21:27, H. Peter Anvin wrote: Rene Herman wrote: Yes, just posted a Patch-For-Comments that switches on the availability of a TSC (tsc_init sets tsc_disable also for !cpu_has_tsc) which would mean that only really old stuff would be using the outb still. A TSC is really all we need to have a sensible udelay(). Uhm, no. You have no clue what the speed of the TSC is until you have been able to calibrate it against a fixed timesource - like the PIT. Yes. Hnng. Okay, this is going nowhere in a hurry, so back to the very first suggestion in this thread. How about this? This allows to switch from port 0x80 to port 0xed based on DMI. David: I plugged in my own DMI values for testing, but obviously yours are needed. The values that are needed are retrieved by the "dmidecode" program which you will probably have installed (it might be in an sbin directory) or will be able to install through whatever package manager you use. dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name are the values you should plug into the .matches field in the dmi_system_id struct in this. It would be great if you could do that, test, and post back with those values. .ident should be a nice human name. It's been tested on x86-32 and seems to work fine. It's not been tested on x86-64 but seems to stand a fair chance of working similarly. It ofcourse remains possible to switch to a udelay() based method later on anyways but with all the pre-calibratin trouble, this might be the lowest risk method in the short run. This is partly based on previous patches by Pavel Machek and David P. Reed. I hope this is considered half-way correct/sane (note by the way that it's not a good idea to switch a "native_io_delay_port" value since plugging in a variable port would clobber register dx for every outb_p, which would then have to be reloaded for the next outb again).

[PATCH 0/3] Add GD-Rom support to the SEGA Dreamcast
(Apologies if you've already had this. I sent it to lkml etc an hour ago but it just disappeated into the ether - trying it in smaller packets this time.) This patch adds support for the CD drive on the SEGA Dreamcast - the so-called GD Rom drive. This device is electrically compatible with ATA-3 IDE CD drives but implements a proprietary packet interface. There have been previous Dreamcast CD drivers around but this is new code and uses DMA as opposed to PIO for reads. It also supports reading the proprietary GD Rom format disks. The driver will live as drivers/sh/gdrom/gdrom.c This has been tested against the latest git in Paul Mundt's 2.6.25 queue as well as 2.6.24-rc5 Signed-off by: Adrian McMenamin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Re: 2.6.24-rc5-mm1: cat /proc/net/packet -> oops
Hello, As one of usual tests I run the following script: for i in `find /proc -type f`; do echo -n "cat $i > /dev/null ... "; cat $i > /dev/null; echo "done"; done This time the culprit is /proc/net/packet. cat process gets killed $ cat /proc/net/packet Segmentation fault and lost in lots of messages from the script but for some reason there is no info in syslog (why?). I could capture the oops only when issued sysrq-7 or grater. That's why I didn't catch the oops earlier. I found it because the bug makes my sparc64 box need a hardware reset most of the time it happens and produces oops 2 screens long. x86 kills the cat process but system is still usable and running fine. Bisection points to: git-ubi.patch GOOD # git-net.patch BAD ipsec-fix-reversed-icmp6-policy-check.patch but this seems to be far from precise :) $ grep ^commit git-net.patch | wc -l 361 Not sure if this is important but when bisecting the mm tree the oops got shorter at some point so maybe some other patch is also involved.

memory barriers and MMIO, once again...
Hi all, in a single thread of execution, writel() and friends are ordered WRT each other. But I keep forgetting one thing: Is writel() ordered WRT regular memory accesses? That is, if I prepare data in a coherent DMA buffer and then tell the device by writel() that it's good to go, do I need a wmb() before the writel()? *If* the answer to this is yes, then I also seem to need a wmb() between dma_sync_single_for_device() and writel() if that writel tells the device to use data from that synced DMA area, because the sync expands to empty inline functions on simple architectures. Or are there further ordering guarantees on these architectures which eliminate the need for a wmb() in this case? If so, would I still need a barrier()?

Comments appreciated. That actually wouldn't be that big of a deal. Switching values in and out of registers is dirt cheap (and MUCH cheaper than an indirect function call) -- of course, if there is a reason to do it for paravirtualization then that's fine; we're talking about something that makes even the slowest CPU operation look speedy anyhow. If in*_p and out*_p are out-of-lined then %dx would be dead anyway, and so there is even less reason to deal with it. In theory we could use an alternatives section and patch the instruction, too; seems like way overkill, though. Note, however, that your code doesn't deal with io_delay()'s in the boot code (arch/x86/boot) at all, nor (obviously) io_delay()'s in boot loaders. In the boot code, access to DMI data is NOT available (we can't even use the INT 15h mover if we want to continue to support Loadlin.) In the boot code, io_delay() is used to slow down accesses to the KBC, interrupt controller, INT13h logic, and the NMI gate, and to provide a fixed delay during A20 stabilization. -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

[PATCH] x86: fix problems due to use of "outb" to port 80 on some AMD64x2 laptops, etc.
On 15-12-07 21:27, H. Peter Anvin wrote: Rene Herman wrote: Yes, just posted a Patch-For-Comments that switches on the availability of a TSC (tsc_init sets tsc_disable also for !cpu_has_tsc) which would mean that only really old stuff would be using the outb still. A TSC is really all we need to have a sensible udelay(). Uhm, no. You have no clue what the speed of the TSC is until you have been able to calibrate it against a fixed timesource - like the PIT. Yes. Hnng. Okay, this is going nowhere in a hurry, so back to the very first suggestion in this thread. How about this? This allows to switch from port 0x80 to port 0xed based on DMI. David: I plugged in my own DMI values for testing, but obviously yours are needed. The values that are needed are retrieved by the "dmidecode" program which you will probably have installed (it might be in an sbin directory) or will be able to install through whatever package manager you use. dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name are the values you should plug into the .matches field in the dmi_system_id struct in this. It would be great if you could do that, test, and post back with those values. .ident should be a nice human name. It's been tested on x86-32 and seems to work fine. It's not been tested on x86-64 but seems to stand a fair chance of working similarly. It ofcourse remains possible to switch to a udelay() based method later on anyways but with all the pre-calibratin trouble, this might be the lowest risk method in the short run. This is partly based on previous patches by Pavel Machek and David P. Reed. I hope this is considered half-way correct/sane (note by the way that it's not a good idea to switch a "native_io_delay_port" value since plugging in a variable port would clobber register dx for every outb_p, which would then have to be reloaded for the next outb again).

For the writing side, there's a far easier way to inject potentially hostile data into the /dev/random pool: "echo evil inentions > /dev/random". This is allowed because it's a very specific design goal that an attacker cannot improve their knowledge of the state of the pool by feeding in chosen text. Which in turn allows /dev/random to get potential entropy from lots of sources without worrying about how good they are. It tries to account for entropy it's sure of, but it actually imports far more - it just don't know how much more. One of those "allowed, but uncredited" sources is whatever you want to write to /dev/random. So you can, if you like, get seed material using wget -t1 -q --no-cache -O /dev/random 'http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Hotbits?fmt=bin&nbytes=32' 'http://www.random.org/cgi-bin/randbyte?nbytes=32&format=f' 'http://www.randomnumbers.info/cgibin/wqrng.cgi?limit=255&amount=32' 'http://www.lavarnd.org/cgi-bin/randdist.cgi?pick_num=16&max_num=65536' I don't trust them, but IF the data is actually random, and IF it's not observed in transit, then that's four nice 256-bit random seeds.

Normally this option is called "Enable Option ROM" or enable "INT 13/19h hook". See if you have such an option. It's surprising this isn't enabled by default.

Not really true -- a single system can easily have firmware installed for b43, b43legacy, and bcm43xx at the same time and switch back and forth between them. Given a functioning udev configuration, the persistent naming even works so that your device stays as 'eth1' when switching to and fro bcm43xx. I really think everyone is overstating the problem.

problem with ending requests asynchronously in my block device driver
Hi,
I've a block device driver which does the following,
Inside the request function I do something like this:
request(fn) {
while ((req = elv_next_request(q)) != NULL) {
set up the request;
spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock);
call the transfer(set_up_req) function;
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock);
}
spin_unlock_irq (q->queue_lock);
/* allow callback to execute as it needs the lock!!! */
spin_lock_irq (q->queue_lock);
}
and the transfer function calls the scsi_execute_asyn() with the
callback function doing the end request. So, the ending of the request is
done like below:
callback(fn) {
spin_lock_irqsave(q->queue_lock, flags);
if (!end_that_request_first(set_up_req->req, cmpstatus,
set_up_req->req->nr_sectors)) {
add_disk_randomness(...);
end_that_request_last(set_up_req->req,0);
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(q->queue_lock, flags);
}
This code works fine with most of the kernel versions, but fails on some
like , Linux 2.6.18-8.el5-xen
Please help me to find out where I'm going wrong?
when I say 'fails' it just hangs without any error I'm using dt(Data
test) to write to the disk. The logs show that all the requests that have
been sent for processing, have completed sucessfully. Its just that new
requests never enter the request function. So, the dt writes almost half the
data and then simply hangs.
Thanks in advance for an early reply.

I'll try to find when it was introduced but it is hard to do it on a highly critical production system, especially since it takes ~2h after a reboot, to be sure. However, 2h is quite good time, on other systems I have to wait ~2 months to get 20MB of leaked memory: # uptime 13:29:34 up 58 days, 13:04, 9 users, load average: 0.38, 0.27, 0.31 # sync;sync;sleep 1;sync;grep Dirt /proc/meminfo Dirty: 23820 kB More news, I hope this time my problem get more attention from developers since now I have much more information. So far I found that: - 2.6.20-rc4 - bad: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=14057 - 2.6.20-rc2 - bad: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=14058 - 2.6.20-rc1 - OK (probably, I need to wait little more to be 100% sure). 2.6.20-rc1 with 33m uptime: ~$ grep Dirt /proc/meminfo ;sync ; sleep 1 ; sync ; grep Dirt /proc/meminfo Dirty: 10504 kB Dirty: 0 kB 2.6.20-rc2 was released Dec 23/24 2006 (BAD) 2.6.20-rc1 was released Dec 13/14 2006 (GOOD?) It seems that this bug was introduced exactly one year ago. Surprisingly, dirty memory in 2.6.20-rc2/2.6.20-rc4 leaks _much_ more faster than in 2.6.20-final and later kernels as it took only about 6h to reach 172MB. So, this bug might be cured afterward, but only a little. There are three commits that may be somehow related: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.20.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=fba2591bf4e418b6c3f9f8794c9dd8fe40ae7bd9 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.20.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=3e67c0987d7567ad41164a153dca9a43b11d http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.20.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=5f2a105d5e33a038a717995d2738434f9c25aed2 I'm going to check 2.6.20-rc1-git... releases but it would be *very* nice if someone could finally give ma a hand and point some hints helping debugging this problem. Please note that none of my systems with kernels >= 2.6.20-rc1 is able to reach 0 kb of dirty memory, even after many synces, even when idle. Best regards, Krzysztof Olędzki

Running at 400 FSB it gradually ate itself and turned into a brick. Took about 3 hours of screwing around to recover cuz even a cmos reset left it 400 and it wouldn't recognize my usb keyboard, so I had to dig out an IBM clickity clakker, one of those cast iron models & plug it into the ps2 socket to get its attention and get back into the bios and get it slowed down. This must have been good though cuz the cpu went down another 5 degrees when I did. I did another install of F8 on that drive, but on the reboot, only FC6 on /dev/hda1(=/boot and hda3=/) were visible so I'm still on FC6. This is with a bios release only about 90 days old for what can best be described as a legacy mobo, a Biostar M7NCD Pro. No onboard sata or firewire. The install did put its bootfile stuff on /dev/sda1, and I've copied them back to the FC6 /boot partition, but I am confused as to how to handle the differences for this in the kernel arguments I use in adding that stanza to the existing /boot/grub/grub.conf, and, what to do with the differences in /boot/grub/device.map between the 2 installs. Some guidance with this regard would be nice. FWIW, the f8 install is on VolGroup01, so it does know the difference, but udev did NOT generate those files in /dev when it ran, so I'm reticent to do a fix there by any method but editing some udev file somehow so its permanent once done.

Re: New question on that sata controller
Gene Heskett wrote: Greetings; When I asked about a sata controller earlier this week, I gave a link to it. Unforch (maybe) when it actually arrived, the cards box showed a silicon image chip, and the card had a via. So much for getting what I ordered... The required module then was sata_via, not sata_uli, and it seems to be working ok. However, this one claims its a raid controller according to an lspci -v: 01:0a.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller (rev 50) Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19 I/O ports at 9400 [size=16] I/O ports at 9800 [size=16] I/O ports at 9c00 [size=16] I/O ports at a000 [size=16] I/O ports at a400 [size=32] I/O ports at a800 [size=256] [virtual] Expansion ROM at e900 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [e0] Power Management version 2 I just noted that the Expansion ROM is disabled, but I didn't see any jumpers to enable it on the card prior to installing it. Does anyone know how this is supposed to work? I would like to make it directly bootable but I believe this has to be 'enabled' for that. It's usually normal for it to be disabled after boot, I believe. Are you getting anything showing up on boot indicating its BIOS is active? I cannot find any references to this particular chip in a 'make xconfig' for 2.6.24-rc5. Should this be a concern, or is this one a 'Just Works(TM)' chipset? This card has 3 sata port connectors and one ide fitted. Two rather pleasant side effects of going to the Biostar.tw site and finding a newer bios and installing it on an M7NCD Pro mobo are: 1: FSB now running at 400MHZ, was 333 before as it was not at all stable at 400 and I have been told the XP-2800 Athlon only supports 333 and AMD's site agrees. 2: CPU temps are down around 13F. CPU speed still the same at 2079MHZ according to dmesg. The reduced temps at a higher FSB indicates better interface timing, and if it runs the rest of the night at 400 without a self reboot or crash, I'll leave it there. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
problem with ending requests asynchronously in my block device driver
Hi,
I've a block device driver which does the following,
Inside the request function I do something like this:
request(fn) {
while ((req = elv_next_request(q)) != NULL) {
set up the request;
spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock);
call the transfer(set_up_req) function;
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock);
}
spin_unlock_irq (q->queue_lock);
/* allow callback to execute as it needs the lock!!! */
spin_lock_irq (q->queue_lock);
}
and the transfer function calls the scsi_execute_asyn() with the
callback function doing the end request. So, the ending of the request is
done like below:
callback(fn) {
spin_lock_irqsave(q->queue_lock, flags);
if (!end_that_request_first(set_up_req->req, cmpstatus,
set_up_req->req->nr_sectors)) {
add_disk_randomness(...);
end_that_request_last(set_up_req->req,0);
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(q->queue_lock, flags);
}
This code works fine with most of the kernel versions, but fails on some
like , Linux 2.6.18-8.el5-xen
Please help me to find out where I'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance for an early reply.
Anil P.

Yes, for the outbound direction. I believe we have two "good" options: 1) port 0xed was tested by the current reporter and found to be safe (and provide slow enough timing). If DMI based quirk hacks are available soon enough we can switch 0x80 to 0xed based on it. Are they? DMI is just a data structure parked in memory, so it should at least be theoretically possible to get to it. -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

(The actual report and a reply was listed. The reply just had a full quote of the oops, with "> " prepended and perhaps lines wrapped.) Because if an oops is independently reported twice or more, this too says something about the issue. E.g. flaky RAM and such is pretty much eliminated as a possible cause. Anyway, someone who is actually interested in a particular oops and looks at the posts in your links quickly notices eventual duplicates. But it would be helpful to people who only have a quick glance at the bar graphs if you add a note of caution that the figures are not accurate and not representative, e.g. because of occasional duplicates. For the same reason, please don't write headings like "Oops statistics for kernel 2.6.23-release". Unless you mean "statistics" in a narrower sense like they do statistics in medicine and economics. ;-) Simply write "Oops reports for kernel...". >> Reports against 2.6.X-rcY-mmZ are listed in the same category as reports >> against 2.6.X-rcY.

And it's the same like with the above issue: People who are genuinely interested in an oops find the necessary information at the details page. Separating them from mainline oopses would be a service though for people who want to - have a quick look at what's urgent and what's not so urgent, - draw conclusions about the state of the release candidates.

Yep - this looks promising. No soft lockups for last half an hour with 4-5 Wakeups from idle. It is almost smooth - jerkiness gone down by 99%. There are still very infrequent and quick spells where the key typed on the keyboard takes effect a little later - but nothing like earlier. I will run it for a little longer just to be sure - but I don't think it will be a problem. Thanks Thomas.

we could perhaps introduce stat_smp_processor_id(), which signals that
the CPU id is used for statistical purposes and does not have to be
exact? In any case, your patch looks good too.

Miles, I didn't check this yet, but since there were some considerable
changes, including locking, you could try with reverting some of these
last 3 patches to net/packet by Denis:

It's really hard to distinguish a duplicate report from two reports of the same bug. Reports against 2.6.X-rcY-mmZ are listed in the same category as reports against 2.6.X-rcY. To distinguish -mm reports from vanilla reports, one has to look into the details of each bug entry.¹ finding what exact kernel version an oops is from is... surprisingly hard. And to be honest, bugs against -mm are still very interesting, since they'll be the next mainline after all A general weakness is that it is ultimately impossible to know whether a report was against an unpatched kernel, unless one drills down to the individual mailinglist threads. for the same reason patched kernels are relevant. And if someone has a super weirdo kernel, well, as long as we get enough bug data it'll be way down in the noise. Reports about tainted kernels have arguably less value. It would be good to hide such reports until a report of the same oops in an untainted kernel was found. That's half of what is done right now; they're not hidden though, just very clearly marked. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

As I noted, it /seems/ to be only when ACPI is turned Port 0x80 means debug. You appear to have a laptop with some kind of buggy firmware that wants a BIOS update.

This adds yet another non-distinction, because the difference between BUG_ON and WARN_ON has absolutely nothing to do with the (perceived or actual) probability of the condition. We've got plenty of evidence that BUG_ON and WARN_ON conditions -do- happen. So choosing between BUG_ON and WARN_ON is choosing whether a box should be forcibly killed or not and nothing more. You've clearly got a use-case in mind where WARN_ON + !CONFIG_BUG isn't doing what you want, please share it with us. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Perhaps we haven't exploited the BIOS enough: The PC BIOS since the PC AT (286) has always had a standard "countdown timer" way to delay for n microseconds, which as far as I know still works. This can be used to measure the speed of a delay loop, without using ANY in/out instructions directly (the ones in the BIOS are presumably correctly delayed...). If we enter from the 32-bit entrypoint, we already don't have access to the BIOS, though. My understanding is that the linux starts in real mode, and uses the BIOS for such things as reading the very first image. arch/x86/boot/main.c seems to use BIOS calls, and one can do what I wrote in C or asm. Good place to measure the appropriate delay timing, and pass it on forward. That's what I was suggesting, which is why I copied the ASM routine from my old code listing as I did. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Update on collectl
Last summer I announced that I had released a performance monitoring tool called collectl and just wanted to let people know I've since significantly improved the website at http://collectl.sourceforge.net/ to include examples, a block diagram and even included a couple of pages on some interesting kernel problems it helped identify, though they've since been addressed. Perhaps one of the more interesting ones is that not too long ago, and I'm really not sure when it actually got fixed, it was impossible to accurately measure network traffic at 1 second intervals and worse, you'd periodically see double the actual rate reported. Try it out on an older kernel and see for yourself! However, since collectl can monitor at subsecond intervals you could monitor those older kernels at 0.9765 seconds and see accurate data. Rather than me try to explain it, take a look at http://collectl.sourceforge.net/NetworkStats.html to read more. I think a couple of other features I may not have said enough about is monitoring Infiniband and Lustre performance, for which I don't believe there are any good tools available. You can get IB data from asking the switch, but you can't easily get it from the local system. There is actually a wealth of information Lustre provides but no good tools to mine it. Now there is. With collectl you can see a second-by-second (or any other interval you prefer) snapshot of just what is happening to these key resources and can even watch the load on cpu, memory and network at the same time. If you prefer, and most people do, just run collectl as a service and it will maintain a set of compressed rolling logs containing 10 second samples (all customizable) and do it all at <0.1% of system overhead. Enough rambling already.

As pointed out to when you came up with the idea, we can't do this. A devpath
is a path to the device and will not necessarily start with "/block" for block
devices. It may start with "/devices" and can be much longer than
BDEVNAME_SIZE*2 + 10.
Please do not apply!

This change seems rather unlikely for 2.6.24 at this point (high risk), but could be good for 2.6.25. One thing it should probably have for the early going, is a simple way to turn it on/off at boot time, so that we don't have people "stuck" unable to run the test kernels should something weird happen. Alan / David / Ingo, What do you think of the idea of a *temporary* boot flag for this, something like port80=on/off (pick a suitable name) ?

Re: [PATCH] x86_64: fix problems due to use of "outb" to port 80 on some AMD64x2 laptops, etc.
I understand the risks of such a fundamental change, and it may be only a minor concern, but I did also point out that using an unused port causes the bus to be tied up for a microsecond or two, which matters on a fast SMP machine. Of course all the other concerns you guys are worrying about are really important. I don't want to break anybody's running systems... I'd like to see my machine run smoothly, and all the other machines that may or may not have this problem (google "hwclock freeze" to see that I'm far from alone - I just have persevered in "bisecting" this problem with kernel tweaks for months, whereas the others did not or did not know how). By the way, this laptop is really nice for Linux in lots of ways. Dual drives, so I set it up with software RAID for reliability, dual 64-bit processors, fast 3D graphics, etc. Great battery life. Just one last kernel issue. I also note that curent machines like the problem machine have ACPI, and maybe those would be the ones that vendors might start to define port 80 to mean something. As I noted, it /seems/ to be only when ACPI is turned on that this problem happens on my machine - that's when the OS starts to be involved in servicing various things, so it suggests that maybe things change about port 80's unknown function on these machines when ACPI is servicing the system management code (that's not something I have been able to verify). My belief is that my machine has some device that is responding to port 80 by doing something. And that something requires some other program to "service" port 80 in some way. But it sure would be nice to know. I can't personally sand off the top of the chipset to put probes into it - so my normal approach of putting a logic analyzer on the bus doesn't work. PS: If I have time, I may try to build Rene's port 80 test for Windows and run it under WinXP on this machine (I still have a crappy little partition that boots it). If it freezes the same way, it's almost certain a design "feature", and if it doesn't freeze, we might suspect that there is compensating logic in either Windows ACPI code or some way that windows "sets up" the machine.

Can't we add an empty release function? It would free the name with the current logic, right?

However since we know 0x80 works for everything on the planet but this one specifies of laptop which seems to need a firmware update its a very high risk approach.

[PATCH 2.6.24-rc5] sym53c8xx_2 modpost section mismatch fix
Building 2.6.24-rc5 with
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2=y
results in
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x14b36c): Section mismatch: reference to
.exit.text:sym2_remove (between 'sym2_io_error_detected' and
'sym_set_cam_result_error')
because sym2_io_error_detected() calls sym2_remove(), which is marked __devexit.
Fixed by removing the __devexit from sym2_remove().
