Linux 2.5.68

Linux 2.5.68

[Linus Torvalds]

Tons of changes all over the map. The diff is large, partly because the 
s390x support got merged into the s390 port as a 64-bit subset, and the 
old s390x architecture files thus became irrelevant. And a merge with Alan 
gave us a another architecture instead - h8300.

Lots of dvb updates (digital video), again through Alan. And a major 
aic79xx driver update.

Oh, and the devfs stuff by Christoph means that devfs users should beware:  
in particular, devfs users need to mount the pts filesystem like everybody 
else does, that duplication got killed.

Other than that, just a ton of updates. See changelog for details.

Not just mount, but you need to build devpts explicitly now too. Before

irq balancing; kernel vs. userspace

I thought the same thing reading his original message, then I looked 
closer. He booted using "noirqbalance", did not start the userspace 
balancer, and yet his IRQs are still being balanced.

if you don't do a thing, pIII cpu based machines will balance by
themselves while pIV cpu based machines will redirect everything to CPU
0.

I was confused at first because I was thinking of IRQ balancing as
balancing IRQs *across* CPUs.  This kind of balancing seems to be
about spreading IRQ *sources* across CPUs.  I guess it's good for
caches and whatnot for IRQs to be consistently serviced by the same
CPU.

Anyway, it seems to be working.  Thanks!

Local APICs before P4 by default arbitrated for interrupt handling, via a 
round robin type scheme, this doesn't seem to be the case with P4 since the 
Arbitration ID register is also gone now.

(OT) md5sum proving to be an EXCELLENT memory test

[Stephen Satchell]

Because the subject of "bad RAM" comes up from time to time on this list, I 
thought I would post an observation I made over the weekend.  I was working 
with some server boxes with "generic" RAM that would mis-behave from time 
to time, and I really didn't understand why that would happen.  The 
misbehavior included some OOPSes from time to time, but they would be 
random and so I didn't report them.

Then I started to grab Red Hat Linux version 9, and because the server 
boxes were the only ones with enough open disk space I started to download 
the ISO images to them.  Imagine my surprise when I went to run md5sum to 
check the download -- they would fail the test.  Perform the test multiple 
times, and the failure pattern would CHANGE.  (Copy the ISOs to another 
system via sftp, along with the MD5SUM, and they checked as 
perfect.)  Perform md5sum on the files on the server and save the results, 
and the signatures would be different from run to run on the same files.

Incompatible RAM.

Proof:  do a kernel computer, get signal 11.  Put the "right" RAM in the 
boxes (in this case, a Viking PE8641U4SN3L-CL3 64-MB stick in an Intel 
CA810E motherboard) and both md5sum and a kernel compile worked just swell.

By the way, md5sum on small files worked perfectly on these server boxes 
with IFA (Taiwan) 128-MB RAM installed, but on large files it would create 
the varied signatures.

So, along with the test of compiling a kernel and seeing if you get signal 
11 messages, you can also load up some large files and run md5sum on them a 
couple of times.  With six ISO images totalling 1.4 GB, it took a 500-MHz 
Pentium II about five minutes to run through the files and show the errors 
-- an order of magnitude faster than trying to do a kernel compile.

FWIW

I had the same situation with some cheap mobo (ECS K7S5A+) of friend of 
mine. You don't need to check md5sums. Why is MD5 better than any other 
method? I just simply found, that when I copy file A to B, and then A to 
C, it is possible that B and C differs. Most of the time with one byte.

The advice is to use some good memory test suite from time to time - it 
will do better its job than you just checking signatures on large files.

Leonard

The "good memory test suite" I have didn't catch it.  The copy method you 
suggest didn't catch it.  The BIOS memory check didn't catch it.  Only the 
linux compile method -- mentioned on this list -- did catch it.  And so did 
using md5sum on very long files.

(Maybe you missed reading the part that md5sum on small files never 
fails.  File copies on smaller files don't fail, either.  Otherwise, how 
did I get a Linux environment loaded and running with no problem?)

I'm pissed about this because, when I purchased the RAM a year and a half 
ago, I used the memory test suite to see if the stuff would work in these 
servers, AND THE TESTS PASSED.  So I accepted the RAM.  The money-back 
guarantee is long gone.  No, I didn't try a kernel compile.  My stupidity 
for believing in running only one diagnostic.

The server in question ran for a year as a moderate-use Web server, and 
would mystery only once in a great while.  It was taken out of service when 
a faster computer replaced it.  It's only now I find out the truth about 
the RAM incompatibility in it, when I tried to use the 40-GB hard drive in 
it as a staging vehicle.

Well, I just finished an overnight test on the server in question.  If it's 
an overheating CPU, then I don't understand how replacing the RAM stick 
fixes the problem so that it runs without failure for 12 hours.  An 
overheating RAM stick could do it, too.

In tracing through my collection of computers, I have found others with 
this flaky RAM that show intermittent failures using md5sum that other 
tests don't find (including kernel compiles).  All the failing RAM comes 
from the same manufacturer and batch.  I think it's just barely marginal 
memory, myself.  Once I replace it all, I should stop seeing the 
every-other-fortnight problems that have plagued me for the past year.

It also means I need to check the junk pile to see if the failed systems 
have RAM trouble at their heart.

(N.B.:  This little exercise has opened my eyes some little bit.  Easter 
was a great time to bring down the servers one by one, blow the crap out of 
them with compressed air, and check the RAM.  And replace questionable 
RAM.   I'm also going to have a little talk with the computer store that 
sold me a "white box" computer with PC66 SDRAM when PC100 SDRAM was called 
for.)

Here's how bad some of this stuff was:  I took an ASUS P5A-B board with an 
AMD K6-II, slowed the bus down to 87 MHz from 100 MHz, and the damn memory 
fails at the slower bus speed.  Every loose stick from that batch of RAM 
shows the failure.  (memtest86 caught the errors, by the way, so 
diagnostics aren't completely worthless.)

Kingston, Viking, and Micron are getting more of my business.

This broke the compilation of net/decnet/dn_route.c
#ifdef CONFIG_DECNET_ROUTE_FWMARK :

Hi,

Sorry about that. The flp should have been oldflp, and the fwmark should have
been nfmark. I'll add that to my next patch (which has a few other fixes too).
Thanks for letting me know,

Steve.
