[Bug 1796542] Re: Silent corruption in Linux kernel 4.15

2018-10-07 Thread Vasil Kolev
Thank you for looking at this bug report.

We have some additional information.

qemu/kvm with cache=none (common) and aio=threads (default) is required
to trigger the bug. aio=native (another common option) does not trigger
it in our testing.

We applied the following patches on top of Ubuntu-4.15.0-36.39.

commit 0aa69fd32a5f766e997ca8ab4723c5a1146efa8b - block: add a lower-level 
bio_add_page interface
commit b403ea2404889e1227812fa9657667a1deb9c694 - block: 
bio_iov_iter_get_pages: fix size of last iovec
commit 9362dd1109f87a9d0a798fbc890cb339c171ed35 - blkdev: 
__blkdev_direct_IO_simple: fix leak in error case
commit 17d51b10d7773e4618bcac64648f30f12d4078fb - block: 
bio_iov_iter_get_pages: pin more pages for multi-segment IOs

The first one introduces a helper function, and the next three are the
upstream patchset that fixes the issue.

[Bug 1796542] [NEW] Silent corruption in Linux kernel 4.15

2018-10-07 Thread Vasil Kolev
Public bug reported:

TLDR: commit 72ecad22d9f198aafee64218512e02ffa7818671 (in v4.10)
introduced silent data corruption for O_DIRECT uses, it's fixed in
17d51b10d7773e4618bcac64648f30f12d4078fb (in v4.18)

A silent data corruption was introduced in v4.10-rc1 with commit
72ecad22d9f198aafee64218512e02ffa7818671 and was fixed in v4.18-rc7 with
commit 17d51b10d7773e4618bcac64648f30f12d4078fb. It affects users of
O_DIRECT, in our case a KVM virtual machine with drives which use qemu's
"cache=none" option.

This is the commit which fixes the issue:
-
commit 17d51b10d7773e4618bcac64648f30f12d4078fb
Author: Martin Wilck 
Date:   Wed Jul 25 23:15:09 2018 +0200

block: bio_iov_iter_get_pages: pin more pages for multi-segment IOs

bio_iov_iter_get_pages() currently only adds pages for the next non-zero
segment from the iov_iter to the bio. That's suboptimal for callers,
which typically try to pin as many pages as fit into the bio. This patch
converts the current bio_iov_iter_get_pages() into a static helper, and
introduces a new helper that allocates as many pages as

 1) fit into the bio,
 2) are present in the iov_iter,
 3) and can be pinned by MM.

Error is returned only if zero pages could be pinned. Because of 3), a
zero return value doesn't necessarily mean all pages have been pinned.
Callers that have to pin every page in the iov_iter must still call this
function in a loop (this is currently the case).

This change matters most for __blkdev_direct_IO_simple(), which calls
bio_iov_iter_get_pages() only once. If it obtains less pages than
requested, it returns a "short write" or "short read", and
__generic_file_write_iter() falls back to buffered writes, which may
lead to data corruption.

bdev direct-io")

Since there were a lot of components involved in the initial report to
us (xfs, guest kernel, guest virtio drivers, qemu, host kernel, storage
system), we had to isolate it. This is the commit which fixes the data
corruption bug. We created a reliable reproduction and tested with the
patch and without the patch. We also created a version of the kernel
which prints when the data-corrupting path in the kernel is triggered.

Try stopping skype, removing/renaming your .Skype directory (e.g.

mv .Skype skype-old

and start skype again. This is what fixed it for me.

[Bug 775602] [NEW] Keyboard layout switching is slow and unreliable

2011-05-02 Thread Vasil Kolev
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Since the upgrade to natty, the keyboard layout switching has been slow
and unreliable. I've configured it to use caps lock and to show it on
the ScrollLock led, and in both Gnome and XFCE there is a noticeable
delay and sometimes it just doesn't switch, like the keystroke is lost.
There's no problem with the normal typing.

The issue wasn't there in 10.10.

2011-05-02 Thread Vasil Kolev
The only unusual thing might be the full-disk encryption (the rest, like the 
nvidia driver from ubuntu is in the logs). 
It also persists when I login with a newly created user.

I can't test this in the console, as the led doesn't change (although it
changes the layouts). Is there any way to track events like keypress and
led switch, so I can try following those and seeing what happens?

I can vouch that this isn't hardware related. I have two machines, one
laptop that has an AT keyboard and another which uses USB, and I see the

gone.

[Bug 417734] [NEW] Old kernels are not removed and horribly clutter the system

2009-08-23 Thread Vasil Kolev
Public bug reported:

I've been bitten twice by this - old kernels are not removed, slow down
dpkg and use tons of space. As an example:

va...@shrike:~$ wc  -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/*2.6.28*list
   5656 /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-2.6.28-15-generic.list
  10357 /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-2.6.28-15.list
   2609 /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic.list
 65 /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-15-generic.list
  18687 total

So, from about 120k installed files one kernel takes 18k - a few of them can 
already use as much files in the dpkg database as the rest of the installed 
packages. Ubuntu updates its kernel at least 5 times during the normal 
distribution life, and some of us have stuff running since the dawn of time, so 
this starts to become a really nasty slowdown...
(and, there's also bug #414943, old kernels might be a really bad idea for some 
people)

[Bug 391516] [NEW] Pidgin crashes with BadWindow X error

2009-06-24 Thread Vasil Kolev
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pidgin

Pidgin has been crashing on me for a while, when opening a new message
(doesn't matter if I have a tab window open or not). I finally decided
to run it with -d in a console to see what's happening, and this is all
I could see, no crash, no coredump, nothing else. Any ideas on how this
can be debugged further? I've also installed pidgin-dbg, but that
doesn't help in this situaiton.

The program 'pidgin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 74806 error_code 3 request_code 40 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders

2009-01-26 Thread Vasil Kolev
Fabio,

Changing the IO scheduler is easy - it's in
/sys/block/$devname/queue/scheduler ($devname = sda in my case), and
ubuntu comes with all the normal in-kernel schedulers compiled in -
deadline, anticipatory, noop and cfq (the last one being the default
one).

I'll try this with the other schedulers and will see if that makes any
difference. BTW, can you post some links to the discussions about the
block scheduler performance, they might be useful to this bug too.

I don't think that SQLite is the problem, as when I preload it it's
blindingly fast - and when you have a single account, it's again really
fast. If someone can test evolution with postgresql or mysql, I think
we'll see the same results (without the preloading).

[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders

2009-01-25 Thread Vasil Kolev
Okay, I finally used my head for a while, and found a work-around for this 
problem. In short,
cat ~/evolution/mai/imap/*/folders.db  /dev/null
before starting evolution seems to make it load at least as fast as the 
versions before sqlite.

Now, this seems to be an issue either with the block device scheduler, sqlite 
or both. It's visible that when you have two tasks that do a lot of disk IO 
(firefox tends to do that when first reading the location bar cache, or 
updatedb, or dpkg), then the whole system grinds down to a halt. Evolution does 
the same just by itself, by doing a lot of small reads on two files in parallel 
and most drives don't really like that.
(I might try testing this on a RAID1 array of faster drives, if that could be 
useful)

For the record, I'm using standard intrepid + proposed.

Using the version from proposed, it's definitely a bit better, but still
with two reasonably big IMAP accounts my drive grinds for a few minutes
until everything is updated. It's still worse than with hardy, but
somewhat livable.

2008-11-19 Thread Vasil Kolev
Fabio, do you use filters in Evolution to sort the email? I found out
that if I disable filtering on the INBOX (while still having two IMAP
accounts) it's definitely better. Seems like it's filtering the whole
INBOX (there are about 3k messages there) instead of just the new stuff.

I tried the trick with creating indexes and for me evolution now is even
faster than the previous version. I'm using it on reiserfs, a normal
intrepid upgrade on x86_64.

The patch works for me (saw it first in the #pidgin irc channel). I'm
using funpidgin, which is pidgin 2.4.2 with some small changes.

Also, seems like the version in your PPA adds some weird packetloss, which 
makes work pretty hard... The only strange thing I've noticed in the logs is 
this:

[Bug 203506] [NEW] iwl4965: 802.11n not compiled in by default

2008-03-18 Thread Vasil Kolev
Public bug reported:

Distribution: hardy/amd64

Got a new AP last night that supports 802.11n and tried to use it with
my current config - according to iwconfig, it never connected on more
that 56mbps. I downloaded the sources for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24
and tweaked the iwlwifi part to compile with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_HT, but this
still didn't help (and I couldn't find if there was also such option for
the  mac80211 part).

This is from lspci and lspci -n:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN 
Network Connection (rev 61)
0c:00.0 0280: 8086:4229 (rev 61)

** Affects: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: New
