Current plan is -rc6 in a few days, 2.6.12 a week after that.


My things-to-worry-about folder still has 244 entries.  Nobody seems to
care much.  Poor me.

Lots of USB problems, quite a few input problems.  fbdev, ACPI, ATAPI.  All
the usual suspects.

Nope.  The simplest way to hunt these down is to stick the Subject into
double quotes and google it.

Thanks.

Yeah, I need to do another pass through all the bugzilla entries.  Silly me
didn't realise that when you ask a question on bugzilla and the originator
replies, you don't get notified!  You have to manually add yourself to Cc.

That being said, managing these via bugzilla is nicer than via email. 
We'll get something better going post-2.6.12.

These two entries seem to be the same one, from me.
Sylvain Meyer was working on it. And I've recently seen some patches
from him on the mm-commit list. I didn't have time to test them but I
should be able to try next week (especially if a new -mm is released
soon).

There's quite a few in there judging by the looks of the subjects
that aren't worth holding up the release imo.  Will the world
end if we dont ship 2.6.12 with support for Geode optimisation
for eg ?

Hmm. yet more oom-killer woes.
Some kind person from IBM pulled out a patch that we stuck in RHEL4
which does a sysrq-M at the time an oom kill occurs, which we've
found handy tracking down these. Might be worth including.
It got sent to the list late last week. I can dig it out if you
don't have it queued already.

Nope, but there's a design:

Subject: Double free of initramfs


In all linker scripts we currently have something like this:

  __init_begin = .;
 ...
   . = ALIGN(4096);
  __initramfs_start = .;
  .init.ramfs : { *(.init.ramfs) }
  __initramfs_end = .;
  ...
  __init_end = .;

It seems all 25 linker scripts in the current bk tree are suffering from
this.  Which mean with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD enabled first free_initrd_mem
may be called to free the initram disk and just a little later
free_initmem will try to free the entire range again, so either the
linker scripts would need fixing or free_initrd_mem has become obsolete.

I think this is another case of someone reporting a problem and not
providing any feedback to replies.  Bjorn followed up on this and
I haven't seen a response.

However, port.type won't be set for serial console.  This is entirely
expected.  We haven't approached the normal port initialisation and
as such we treat the port as being the lowest common denominator - a
standard 8250 port.

If we do want port.type initialised, the solution for this is to get
rid of the early initialisation of 8250-based consoles entirely, which
is something I keep saying and not doing because I know I'm going to
get whinged at.

Cool.

Hmmmm... Ok, let's have some r8169 handwaving/advocacy/explanation to
tell what is going on.

- From a usability viewpoint, the PCI ID for the USRobotics adapter
  should be included. It has been reported around 10/04/2005.
  Consider the usual july/LKS/conf period and it will not be available
  in a stable serie before september (it is not a bugfix, it will not
  be in 2.6.12.x either). USR has cut the price: it will have some
  effect.

- The new features are not really new:
  o 03/2005 for Stephen Hemminger's stats + other changes
    -> it does not collide with existing functions. 
  o 03/2005 for the message level support
    -> not new but it will be noticed, yes.

- Some of the usual suspects on netdev know the code and even if your
  favorite r8169 maintainer has a real day job like everyone, I usually
  manage to dig the issues when something hits the fan (no engagement in
  sight, it helps :o) ).

Of course, you are free to ignore these points if you already took them

These are both from the same thread -- I reported the issue.  I was 
having this problem in -mm1, and I'm intermittently having the problem 
in -mm2 ... I'm starting to think there may be another factor involved 
(I can't imagine what) ... But if I am the only person seeing this

Well, I have a dual-Opteron box with tg3 (AMD chipset) and -rc5+ run happily on it.
Please let me know if I can help somehow.

For Release Candidate I really want to keep things down to 
absolutely-required bug fixes, as 2.6.12 is apparently a week or so 
away.  Standard pragmatism:  anything else just introduces new 
possiblities for new bugs, and increases the time required to review 
each Release Candidate.

All the MPT_FUSION config variables got renamed, so a simple `make

Not sure what you mean. 2.6.11 has (in drivers/message/fusion/Kconfig)

config FUSION
config FUSION_MAX_SGE
config FUSION_CTL
config FUSION_LAN

2.6.12-rc3 has:

config FUSION
config FUSION_MAX_SGE
config FUSION_CTL
config FUSION_LAN

So I don't think they changed, AFAICS. The config in question has:

CONFIG_FUSION=y
CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_SGE=40
# CONFIG_FUSION_CTL is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_FUSION is not set

And I'd backed out the rc3 drivers to rc2 (the whole of drivers/message/fusion)
and it doesn't fix it.

I also get several different failure modes, in different trees, one of
which is:

Hi Andrew,

I just tried with rc6-mm1 and the problem is still present:
when the onboard video memory is set to 1MB in the BIOS, switching from
X to VT1 gives a dirty framebuffer console (no text, just wrong colors).
Setting memory to 8MB in the BIOS makes all this work.

Re: 2.6.12?

[Sylvain Meyer]

        Hi Brice,

    What is your X configuration ? The default parameters are ok for a 
VideoRam parameter up to 32MB. Could you check two things, please ?
    - First, could you set VideoRam to 32MB in your X conf.
    - Second, could you set it to 64MB and use a voffset=64 parameter 
for intelfb.

Thanks
Sylvain

HA. Found it. binary search reveals it's patch 182 out of 2.6.12-rc2-mm2.

hrm.  No useful messages in dmesg?

Andi, do we revert it?

"First" works.

"Second" doesn't:
intelfb says that the initial video mode is 640x400-8@69. This might
be correct (I did not count :)).
But during the boot, the display of messages seems to be shifted upwards
(the shift is about 3 or 4 text lines).
And switching from X to fbcon is still broken, but not as previously
(dirty vertical lines without text). Now, the 3 bottom pixel lines of
the last text line of the display ("host login:") are shown regularly
everywhere on the screen.

Ok. For now. 


Actually it fixes some other bugs (e.g. one from Matt D.), but they are not
very high priority.

I would like to debug it, but I am not sure I will still make it this week.
But Martin, can you please send me the dmesg again? Maybe it is something
stupid.

All the logs are linked off here:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/abat/regression_matrix.html

Just click on the ABORT messages in hte left column. But I'm thinking maybe
I'm off by one, and it might be:

x86_64-port-over-e820-gap-detection-from-i386.patch

I'm double checking right now. Even once it's we get back to a point where
it boots, it seems to consistently hang every time in the same place, which
seems to be caused, AFAICS by

x86_64-use-a-common-function-to-find-code-segment-bases-fix.patch

I'll double check that too before anyone shoots it ... gimme a few hours.

Nope, I was correct, just one of my scrawled notes was wrong. backing out

x86_64-use-the-e820-hole-to-map-the-iommu-agp-aperture.patch

does indeed fix it.

OK, here's the patch to fix the boot problem, for reference (just the above
reversed).

http://mbligh.org/abat/no_hole

Now what's REALLY, REALLY wierd is that this fixes my hang problem
whilst trying to run kernbench:

http://mbligh.org/abat/no_hang

which is just reverting:

x86_64-use-a-common-function-to-find-code-segment-bases-fix.patch

But the patch is tiny, and it makes NO sense at all for this to fix
anything. All it does is:

diff -purN -X /home/mbligh/.diff.exclude 2.6.12-rc2-mm2/include/asm-x86_64/ptrace.h 2.6.12-rc2-mm2-no_hang/include/asm-x86_64/ptrace.h

How the hell can that possibly fix it? Boggle. But it does. I checked.
I ran a whole damned sequence of patches from your tree against the box,
then extracted the one where the failover started and retested it with
just that and the no_hole one. There's even a little green box to 
prove it about 4 down on the left here:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/abat/regression_matrix.html

My brain is now a small piece of silly-putty smushed against the far
wall of my study. Anything you can do to help me scrape up the remains
would be splendid. I can only speculate it's some wierd side-effect,
because I have no other explaination at all.

Most likely it is a BIOS bug and the Newisys BIOS puts something in 
the hole when it should be marked RESERVED in e820. Little we can do 
here :/

Note in theory it could blow up on i386 too if you have enough
mappings.

Strangely, -git3 works, which has the boot fix applied, but not the
hang fix bit. Something odd is afoot.
