Re: Kernel NFS lockd freezes notebook on shutdown (Linux 2.6.22-rc1 + CFS v12)
Hello Oleg, I've done some more tests and quite frankly I think this is really related to the dreaded ''fglrx.ko'' module. It seems to me that it is much easier to reproduce the problem if that damn module is loaded. It does uses workqueue. Then there is another driver ipw3945 loaded and it is required to run binary only ''ipw3945d'' daemon just to start using wireless driver ... In either way both these kernel modules are workqueue users. Btw, I had also tested kernel (compiled from the same source) but on different laptop (EVO N800v), single core, Pentium M 2GHz. Kernel is not freezing on shutdown, even loop nfs kernel stop/start - does not cause any kernel panic as on nx9420 (Dual Core) laptop. And that with or without any patch applied from Oleg. :(( I think this time it is really needed to stop here, kernel was tainted for a reason. :((( Thank you both, Oleg and Andrew.

yup, thanks - the below patch will be in this evening's batch -> Linus.
From: Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
kmalloc for flush_words resulted in zero size allocation when no
k8_northbridges existed. Short circuit the code path for this case.
Also remove uneeded zeroing of num_k8_northbridges just after checking if
it is zero.

Backtraces can be pretty messy nowadays. CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER helps
improve them.

Re: Kernel NFS lockd freezes notebook on shutdown (Linux 2.6.22-rc1 + CFS v12)
Hello Oleg, Patch seems to help and it seems kernel doesn't free anymore. I've booted new kernel and did : #1 $ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop #2 $ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-common stop Previously it was enough to run '#1' to freeze the kernel. This time with your patch applied #1 and #2 worked fine. So far so good. Don't know why , but I've tried to run #1 & #2 several times - as a result OOPS (kernel is tainted). Opps from dmesg: [ 429.103734] usb 1-5.4: link qh8-0601/81003ebac320 start 7 [1/2 us] [ 436.009276] nfsd: last server has exited [ 436.009410] nfsd: unexporting all filesystems [ 436.011395] RPC: failed to contact local rpcbind server (errno 5).

It's tricky for "make oldconfig" when introducing a new "menuconfig" around some previously existing "config"s, because just accepting the default for the new option then causes previously selected ones to be silently dropped. But I don't know a perfect solution for that. Perhaps we'll just have to live with it. Or perhaps a warning message along the line of "deselecting option xxx" would be in order. [...] It's actually the other way around, all those options now tucked underneath the menuconfig were previously directly visible, so selecting "y" (either explicitly or by default) makes everything work as before while "n" very conveniently skips them all. Jan did mention this in the previous thread, but as Jens said, these problems would occur only the _first_ time someone transitions from the old .config's to the new scheme.

Yes, putting the extern highstart_pfn back compiles clean for that rand config.

Gaah. highstart_pfn is declared in , but that one is
protected by a
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
#include
in , so even though we include highmem.h, we never see
the declaration.
Your config is insane, but anyway, does it compile if you just add back
the extra "unnecessary" declaration of highstart_pfn?

I think that this is just 'make randconfig' throwing a curve ball. ACPI depends on PM, but PM=n. In my experience, randconfig is a good tool for testing oddball configs, but the results are not always something that is fixable or needs to be fixed. --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** - 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/

Gaah. highstart_pfn is declared in , but that one is protected by a #ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM #include in , so even though we include highmem.h, we never see the declaration. Your config is insane, but anyway, does it compile if you just add back the extra "unnecessary" declaration of highstart_pfn?

IOW: why does ACPI_EC, ACPI_SYSTEM and ACPI_POWER are not set when the ACPI symbol is?

It's tricky for "make oldconfig" when introducing a new "menuconfig" around some previously existing "config"s, because just accepting the default for the new option then causes previously selected ones to be silently dropped. But I don't know a perfect solution for that. Perhaps we'll just have to live with it. Or perhaps a warning message along the line of "deselecting option xxx" would be in order. > IMHO, the real problem with "default y" menuconfig's, is that they > cause unpleasant surprises to those folks that use the text-based > "make oldconfig".

It's actually the other way around, all those options now tucked underneath the menuconfig were previously directly visible, so selecting "y" (either explicitly or by default) makes everything work as before while "n" very conveniently skips them all. It's really quite nice if you know how it works. The only thing that's missing is instructions for those seeing it for the first time. > IMHO, those using "oldconfig" are often looking towards doing > things quickly ... doesn't help them if they have default y menu's > that they need to "?" upon then to see what they're really about. Well, yes and no. I am of course trying to get through the new options as quickly as possible. But if I hit an option I don't understand then typing "?" is the quickest way to sort it out, so it's doubly annoying if that yields nothing.

If you transform a menu with hidden options (which do NOT "depend on" the menu - they can't even) into a menuconfig (continuing not to depend on the menuconfig), the presentation fucks up (especially in ncurses-menuconfig). That is a good hint something should be taken more seriously. So, for menus with hidden options I had a number of options how to go about them: - move the hidden options before the menuconfig or after, so the presentation does not bork; - leave the menu as-is because there's just so many hidden options and a menuconfig entry is detrimental > [unrelated] > I wish these new constructs were called "configmenu" and > _not_ "menuconfig".

I can't tell, since I'd just say yes if it asks "Ethernet (10 GbE)?" - either I have such an adapter or I don't. So what do we need? * 'configmenu' option (with 'endconfigmenu') that works the same as 'menu' and 'endmenu' (so we can have hidden options), but at the same time make the ---> and options inside it disappear when it is not selected. Currently, no other type seems to satisfy this.

Instead of adding 'depends on' on every subconfig object, just wrap the whole thing into an if block: menuconfig FOOBAR if FOOBAR config FOO config BAR endif # FOOBAR Since this is still edgy, an implicit if-endif block could be added as part of the menuconfig.

It's a matter of /dependence/ on a menuconfig option whether options inside the menu will be disabled. Not a matter of being located in the menu. Yeah, this is a good solution -- making options inside a menuconfig also dependent on it makes sense. If menuconfig isn't used with strict discipline, we end up with inconsistent and misleading presentation of the kernel configuration. Yes, this really requires discipline on the part of those who add new config options, to also "depends on" the menuconfig they're inside, otherwise we end up with inconsistencies.

It's a matter of /dependence/ on a menuconfig option whether options inside the menu will be disabled. Not a matter of being located in the menu.

Ok, that's the first essential piece of information which is *not* evident from the prompt "make oldconfig" presents me with: Ethernet (1000 Mbit) (NETDEV_1000) [Y/n] (NEW) contains *no* indication that this is the start of a menu. > * Disabling this menu disables all the fluff inside it, Another essential piece of information.

(Except for the "this menu" part which might appear rather cryptic to users of the curses based interface who don't see any menu.) Have a look at the entry "config NET_ETHERNET" for an impression of what others felt worth mentioning in similar circumstances. And no, that is not funny, even though much of it is of course fundamentally basic for most of us. It does actually help people confronted with the question. >> For a start, it shouldn't require users to grep through Kconfigs >> and Makefiles in order to find out what effects an option has. > > menuconfigs are some special kind in that they combine an option > with a menu.

Point is, without grepping through the Kconfig the user has no way of knowing that the question comes from a menuconfig in the first place, at least with "make menuconfig" and friends, and without grepping through the Makefile (and, à la limite, source files) s/he cannot be sure the option doesn't directly affect code generation.

Since menus cannot(?) have a kconfig text, I did not transform one. For the "config" to "menuconfig" conversions, the help text was preserved, since there was something to preserve.

Except for very rare case (modules support comes to mine) syscall compatiblity works perfectly. But that's because syscalls are a very visible ABI and people don't break them by accident.

At least for APIs that are not private to a single obscure driver. But this would require people actually beeing aware of creating ABIs, and maybe someone with half a clue reviewing them. Which of course is not the case today, thanks to ioctls, procfs, sysfs, debugfs and co people can create userspace ABIs without a single though easily, and they happily do it. - 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/

Even if people know they can't break userspace apis sysfs can force it on them. As long as we tightly couple kernel data structures and a userspace ABI that's unavoidable. Unfortunately sorting that mess out properly would be such a massive amount of work that it'd alsmost require a 2.7 series. - 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/

Great, this is good news. The 0 RPM reading isn't related to the problem you had, this is a coincidence. 2657 RPM (which your other example shows) is the lowest fan speed this chip can measure with a fan clock divider of 2, anything slower is reported as 0 RPM.

Just tell me exactly what those options are intended to do and I'll happily write up a patch adding help texts trying to express that in bad English. :-) Seriously, it might be a tad more efficient if the help texts were written by those who invented the options in the first place. > As for NETDEV_1000 and _1, I really wonder if we need anymore > help text than the option.

The text "Ethernet (1 Mbit)" _doesn't_ tell me that this option "does not affect the kernel build, it only lets [me] choose drivers". The "patches welcome" is quite appropriate. On the other hand, visible Kconfig options without help text should almost never be allowed to go in in the first place, IMO. -- Stefan Richter -=-=-=== -=-= -===- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - 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/

So apparently that fixed it, but in general we do not allow these kinds of "need to have new xyz with new kernel". Kernels are supposed to be backwards compatible. Jean, what was it that changed, and why can't we just make them appear the same? It may be that something like a sensors package isn't important enough to worry about (the machine still *works*, and everything else won't notice), but if it's a simple matter of adding some random file to /sysfs, we should just do it.

Luckily the 2.10.3 lm-sensors version is on unstable. The backport to Debian Etch was straightforward. Now the applet works again! And the P/S fan indicator (you may have noted that showed 0 in the 2.6.22-rc1 case) works too. Many thanks ;-).

Ah, interesting. Could it be that the gnome applet quits because it fails to get the adapter name? That wouldn't be very smart, but that's possible. Just for the record. Does not quit.

If you are using one of the following drivers: lm78, smsc47b397, smsc47m1, w83627hf or w83781d, you need lm_sensors >= 2.10.1 (libsensors.so.3.1.1 or later). I've attached the lsmod for 2.6.22-rc. I'm not using any of the listed drivers. However the lm-sensors package is version 2.10.1-3 and libsensors.so.3.1.1 is on my system too (package libsensors3).

Hm, I don't think I'll follow up with this - we need a different

I'd prefer to kill device_probe_drivers(). If we really need something
like this sometime in the future, we can easily resurrect it.

The diffstat and shortlogs are way too big to fit under the kernel mailing list limits, and the changes are all over the place. Almost seven thousand files changed, and that's not double-counting the files that got moved around. Architecture updates, drivers, filesystems, networking, security, build scripts, reorganizations, cleanups.. You name it, it's there. You want a new firewire stack? We've got it. New wireless networking infrastructure? Check. New infiniband drivers? Digital video drivers? A totally new CPU architecture (blackfin)? Check, check, check. That said, I think (and certainly hope) that this will not be nearly as painful as the big fundamental timer changes for 2.6.21, and while there are some pretty core changes there (like the new SLUB allocator, which hopefully will end up replacing both SLAB and SLOB), it feels pretty solid, and not as scary as ripping the carpet from under the timer infrastructure. So give it a good testing. We'll see how the regression tracking ends up working, but in order to actually track that, we want people actively testing -rc1 and making good reports!

And:

No idea how the first warnings can show up at all when I've selected nothing
related to them, nor who to CC for it.
Added Greg to the CC list for the second warning. device_probe_drivers() is
a static function, so it seems safe to remove.

[PATCH] driver core: fix warning of temporarily unused multithreaded probing function (was: Re: Linux 2.6.22-rc1)
Hi,
if I'm not mistaken, despite the PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE removal,
Cornelia Huck wanted to keep
driver-core-per-subsystem-multithreaded-probing.patch:
> Wouldn't per-subsystem multithreaded probing just expose bugs that
> could also be exposed on SMP systems?
Yes, it would be the same.
However, device_probe_drivers() remains temporarily unused, so we either
suppress the compiler warning or remove the whole function altogether. The
following patch does the first.

Linux 2.6.22-rc1
Ok, the merge window has closed, and 2.6.22-rc1 is out there. The diffstat and shortlogs are way too big to fit under the kernel mailing list limits, and the changes are all over the place. Almost seven thousand files changed, and that's not double-counting the files that got moved around. Architecture updates, drivers, filesystems, networking, security, build scripts, reorganizations, cleanups.. You name it, it's there. You want a new firewire stack? We've got it. New wireless networking infrastructure? Check. New infiniband drivers? Digital video drivers? A totally new CPU architecture (blackfin)? Check, check, check. That said, I think (and certainly hope) that this will not be nearly as painful as the big fundamental timer changes for 2.6.21, and while there are some pretty core changes there (like the new SLUB allocator, which hopefully will end up replacing both SLAB and SLOB), it feels pretty solid, and not as scary as ripping the carpet from under the timer infrastructure. So give it a good testing. We'll see how the regression tracking ends up working, but in order to actually track that, we want people actively testing -rc1 and making good reports!
