All autopkgtests for the newly accepted linux-oracle-5.4 (5.4.0-1019.19~18.04.1) for bionic have finished running. The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:
zfs-linux/unknown (armhf) Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1]. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed- migration/bionic/update_excuses.html#linux-oracle-5.4 [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions Thank you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876885 Title: linux: riscv: set max_pfn to the PFN of the last page Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Focal: Fix Released Bug description: == SRU Justification Focal/Groovy == The current max_pfn equals to zero. In this case, I found it caused users cannot get some page information through /proc such as kpagecount in v5.6 kernel because of new sanity checks. The following message is displayed by stress-ng test suite with the command "stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1" on HiFive unleashed board. # stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1 stress-ng: debug: [109] 4 processors online, 4 processors configured stress-ng: info: [109] dispatching hogs: 1 physpage stress-ng: debug: [109] cache allocate: reducing cache level from L3 (too high) to L0 stress-ng: debug: [109] get_cpu_cache: invalid cache_level: 0 stress-ng: info: [109] cache allocate: using built-in defaults as no suitable cache found stress-ng: debug: [109] cache allocate: default cache size: 2048K stress-ng: debug: [109] starting stressors stress-ng: debug: [109] 1 stressor spawned stress-ng: debug: [110] stress-ng-physpage: started [110] (instance 0) stress-ng: error: [110] stress-ng-physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x3fd34de000 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=0 (Success) stress-ng: error: [110] stress-ng-physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x3fd32db078 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=0 (Success) ... stress-ng: error: [110] stress-ng-physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x3fd32db078 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=0 (Success) stress-ng: debug: [110] stress-ng-physpage: exited [110] (instance 0) stress-ng: debug: [109] process [110] terminated stress-ng: info: [109] successful run completed in 1.00s # == Fix == Upstream commit in linux-next: commit c749bb2d554825e007cbc43b791f54e124dadfce Author: Vincent Chen <vincent.c...@sifive.com> Date: Mon Apr 27 14:59:24 2020 +0800 riscv: set max_pfn to the PFN of the last page == Test Case == Without the patch, running stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1 on HiFive unleashed board will trip the bug. With the patch, the test passes as follows: # stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1 stress-ng: debug: [104] 4 processors online, 4 processors configured stress-ng: info: [104] dispatching hogs: 1 physpage stress-ng: info: [104] cache allocate: using defaults, can't determine cache details from sysfs stress-ng: debug: [104] cache allocate: default cache size: 2048K stress-ng: debug: [104] starting stressors stress-ng: debug: [104] 1 stressor spawned stress-ng: debug: [105] stress-ng-physpage: started [105] (instance 0) stress-ng: debug: [105] stress-ng-physpage: exited [105] (instance 0) stress-ng: debug: [104] process [105] terminated stress-ng: info: [104] successful run completed in 1.01s == Regression Potential == Small, this correctly fixes the max_pfn and max_low_pfn to the correct end of DRAM location. The fix now can be shown to set these appropriately because stress-ng no longer triggers this corner case.
