[Bug 384579] Re: Linux thinks there’s a fl oppy drive when there’s not. Probing slows down bootup by almost a minute.

2010-06-06 Thread Dave Efflandt
Dell Inspiron 8200 could not suspend/hibernate in 10.04 LTS with latest
updates and standard drivers or nvidia(96), with or without nomodeset
(would awake after 20 seconds).  Finally after installing and testing
"uswsusp" package, the console was enlightening:

end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
Freezing of tasks failed after 20.00 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze):
udisks-daemon

It has hot docking drive slot (currently DVD), but BIOS shows floppy
drives "Not Installed", and removed floppy from boot order.  No other
related BIOS settings and no help.

So I commented out fd0 mount in /etc/fstab and blacklisted floppy in
/etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf, but floppy module kept showing up on
boot, and could not rmmod it (showing used by 1, but nothing else
showing it being used).

What I did not know about was "sudo update-initramfs -u".  Now floppy
module is gone and suspend works.  Success.

2010-05-02 Thread Andrew Cowie
I installed the April 29th lucid 10.04 release and was affected by this
on a Thinkpad T43. The bios fix of disabling legacy floppy drives worked
for me. The bug also caused constantly on hard drive i/o light, and
constant probing of (non-existent) fd0 after boot - this is fixed with
the bios fix.

$ uname -a
Linux mah-laptop 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010

fd0 probing results in syslog error message: Buffer I/O error on device
fd0, logical block 0

2009-08-13 Thread Andy Whitcroft
It seems that actually the floppy format does not even allow for a
partition table so applying the partition checks to the disk makes no
sense.  This looks to be a flaw in devkit-disks which triggers these
checks in 95-devkit-disks.rules, it is likely we should be excluding fd*
in the fragment below.  Will take this up with devkit upstream.

  # Probe for partition tables; this really should be part of udev
  #

  # skip rules for inappropriate block devices
  KERNEL=="mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*", GOTO="probe_parttable_end"

@dougfractal -- thanks for those.  The key information is in the time
file you added (reproduced in full below).  Note that the overall time
taken is 48.67 seconds, and we are seeing two requests and timeouts in
association with it.  This is an issue with device kit trying to
determine what if anything is on the floppy:

  DKD_MEDIA_AVAILABLE=1
  Entering MS-DOS parser (offset=0, size=4096)
  read failed (Input/output error)
  Exiting MS-DOS parser
  Entering Apple parser
  read failed (Input/output error)

Either we should not be scanning floppies in this way (and its a udev
issue) or we are failing to note that there are issues reading the disk
(more likely a dev-kit-disks issue).

2009-07-29 Thread Andy Whitcroft
@dougfractal -- thanks for those logs.  Noticed something I had missed
before now:

[5.145495] Platform driver 'floppy' needs updating - please use 
dev_pm_ops
[5.145530] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
[5.165752] FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077
[5.201942] EDAC MC: Ver: 2.1.0 Jul 14 2009

We actually appear to have loaded the driver and continued in a
reasonable time frame.   Some time later we then start to see the
errors:

[   18.140540] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[   30.304489] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[   30.304493] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[   42.472405] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[   42.472408] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[   54.632477] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[   54.632480] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0

This could be related to udev probing of the device.  Could you attach
the /var/logs/udev file from a boot showing the issue, and also could
you report the output of the command below:

sudo time /lib/udev/devkit-disks-part-id /dev/sda

Thanks.

Ok I have prepared a modified initramfs-tools to prevent the floppy
module ending up on there.  Could those of you who are seeing these 1
minute delays in boot install this and test boot (please remember to
remove any blacklist for this test).  Please report your experiences
here.  The  modified initramfs-tools can be found here:

2009-07-15 Thread Andy Whitcroft
Ok we believe that this issue is now visible because udev is now waiting
for devices to settle.  This means we wait in the initramfs for the
longest running device init.  The floppy driver is likely doing the
right thing overall.  We have a floppy controller in most of these cases
and therefore the driver should load.   Where they are not initialising
quickly, or are missing this is likely correct behaviour and not a
problem if we are not synchronous.  As we are meant to only have modules
required to mount root in the initramfs anyhow, floppy seems like it
should not be in there.  If it was not in the initramfs we would then
load it asynchonously in immediatly after mounting root.

I will prepare a versions of initramfs-tools which excludes floppy so we
can test this hypothesis.

I too am seeing this on an IBM T42 in the daily-live CD installer
downloaded on July 7th. It is much longer than a minute in the
installer, and there was an error regarding a udev worker exiting with
status 0 over and over again. Going into the BIOS and disabling Legacy
Floppy support is a workaround for now. This is new to Karmic kernels
(ie Jaunty and earlier never had the long startup times).

On my Thinkpad X31 i have this problem as well. Some observations: This
is happening since upgrade to Karmic Alpha 2, but booting the 2.6.28
from Jaunty still gives the error. The Lockup during boot seems to be
with the initialisation of hardware; has the the mechanism of loading
drivers changed?

I don't have floppy drive built in, but the docking station has a hot-
swapping port available.

I had this problem on a desktop machine. It appeared to have a floppy drive, 
but it was not plugged in.
After checking the BIOS, I discovered it was set as having a floppy on channel 
A.

After setting the BIOS to "No Floppy", the problem went away and it is
now working just fine.

2009-06-17 Thread Matteo Settenvini
I came to this bug from bug #386989. The title of this bug doesn't
reflect my problem, but it's probably the same bug anyway. I can confirm
this bug on my Thinkpad G40, my kernel log is full of:

   "[ 8319.440050] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0"

lines. However, I *do* have a floppy drive on this laptop. Didn't happen before 
kernel 2.6.30 in karmic.
"sudo rmmod floppy" stops it for a while, so blacklisting the module works.

Some days ago another error showed in dmesg, talking about a problem in
"floppy.c". It was at the end of a lot of such errors. Unfortunately, I
didn't  write that down, because a few minutes later my laptop froze.

2009-06-16 Thread Johan Kiviniemi
Leann,

Thanks, I’ll test with a vanilla kernel.

Andy,

If I change “Legacy Floppy Drives” to disabled in BIOS settings, the
floppy driver is not loaded and everything works. That is to be
expected. Nevertheless, it would be nice for Linux to automatically
realize the drive doesn’t physically exist and refuse to load the
module.

No other BIOS settings seem related.

If a user adds a floppy drive to a Thinkpad while it’s running, I find
it okay for her to have to modprobe floppy manually if the hardware
doesn’t notify the OS about the drive.

What to do when the drive is disconnected, i don’t know.

2009-06-16 Thread Andy Whitcroft
This seems to be a T23 laptop.  Does this model have the option of a
hot-swappable drive bay or expansion unit?  In some older laptops there
can be a bios virtualised floppy device which allows the floppy to be
added and removed live without the OS knowing.  It is worth checking the
BIOS settings to see if any options exist for hot-swappable drives
and/or floppies.  If so could you report what you find here.  Also did
this work on a previous Ubuntu release, if so which, in a previous
release we had issues with the floppy _not_ being recognised correctly
which would have masked this issue.

Hi Johan,

Thanks for also opening the upstream bug report.  Just in case it helps
to work with upstream, the Ubuntu kernel team has also provided vanilla
mainline kernel builds for testing -
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  You may just want to
quickly test and confirm the issue against the latest 2.6.30-rc8

I don't know the internals of the initramfs in Ubuntu but an exact
problem is caused by the findfs applet from busybox which calls open()
on /dev/fd0 causing high delays.

I reported the bug to the upstream, 
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=365

I've workarounded the problem by adding a --no-floppy parameter to the findfs 
applet and calling it with that parameter from initramfs:
http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/2009/devel/system/base/mkinitramfs/files/disable-floppy-probing.patch

If the findfs/busybox combination is not valid for Ubuntu, just ignore
this.

** Summary changed:

- probes (nonexisting) /dev/fd0 for almost a minute
+ Linux thinks there’s a floppy drive when there’s not. Probing slows down 
bootup by almost a minute.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: devicekit-disks
+ Since the installation of DeviceKit-disks, the system startup blocks for
+ almost a minute on two of my computers when udev runs /lib/udev/devkit-
+ disks-part-id for fd0.
  
- Judging from the bootchart, a devkit-disks-pa... process (devkit-disks-
- part-id started by udev?) blocks system startup for almost a minute.
+ Neither of the computers in question have a floppy drive, but Linux
+ says:
  
- This happens on both of the computers I have running karmic.
+ [2.467794] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
  
- dmesg and lshw for the computer the attached bootchart is from:
+ I probably could workaround the problem by disabling floppy drives in
+ BIOS settings, but one would think the OS could realize a drive doesn’t
+ exist automatically.
+
