This change sounds ok to me, if noone else objects.  (I added to the CC
a bit)  I saw that code, and was thinking about doing the same thing
myself.  ne2k-pci.c definitely has changes which are not included in
ne.c, and it seems silly to duplicate ne2000 PCI support.

Unless there are any cards that need the bug workarounds in ne.c for use
on PCI then I see no problem. I've not heard of any.

Actually if you look at the archives (ID 39A3A608.1F984C60@yahoo.com)
you will see that I've stated this will be done for 2.5 a couple of
months ago.  (Which is also why PCI support in ne.c hasn't tracked that
of ne2k-pci.c - I want to avoid encouraging new PCI users of ne.c)

There is no urgency in trying to squeeze a patch like this in the back
door of a 2.4.0 release.  For example, there are people out there now
who are using the ne.c driver to run both ISA and PCI cards in the same 
box without having to use 2 different drivers.  We can wait until 2.5.0
to break their .config file.

[ I've several other 8390 related patches I've been sitting on - trying
to not contribute to the delay of 2.4.0 unless explicitly asked, such
as the 8390.h get_module_symbol deletion.  Other 8390 patches I have 
are a separated Tx timeout for 8390.c, kill off dev->rmem_start/end 
and use ioremap() where required, and replace old check/request_region()
with code that makes use of the newer resource structures. ]

Good to know people are still keeping an eye out for dead code though...

Thanks,
Paul.

Ok, I reported it several times, but it gets ignored. I have a Realtek
8029 (ne2k-pci), and with both drivers ne and ne2k-pci I can easily get
it stuck by doing a ping -f to a host in the local net, and sometimes it
happens doing copies to/from nfs shared resources.

rmmod & insmod don't cure the problem, it seems that no interrupts are
delivered from the card, and there are no log messages, so a reboot is
needed to restore net access.

System is dual 2x200mmx 96Mb ide discs no interrupts shared, and as far
as I can remember all kernel from 2.2.x, 2.3.x up to 2.4.0-testx exhibit
this problem.

I am not quite sure how it will work when you try to use both ne.c and
ne2k-pci drivers in the same box. Which driver will be used for PCI card?
Maybe people with both cards are forced to use inferior driver for PCI
card.

IMNSHO this is a bug, though...

Do a diff of the key 8390 interface routines in ne.c, and ne2k-pci.c. 
Ignoring the inb_p and outb_p differences, there are distinct advantages
to using ne2k-pci.c on with an NE2000 PCI board.

Since ne2k-pci.c supports all boards ne.c does, and includes some fixes
that ne.c does not, it seems like removing the PCI support in ne.c is a
bug fix change.

It looks like ne2k-pci.c does need a HZ scaling fixing from ne.c
though...

changed section attributes

[Petko Manolov]

	Hi there,

I noticed that when i changed to binutils 2.10.91 (Debian,woody)
i start to see messages like:

"Warning: Ignoring changed section attributes for .modinfo"

Chasing down the problem appeared that section modinfo is
declared for the first time as ".section .modinfo" without any
attributes. This is done by the including of linux/module.h.
The next declaration is ".section .modinfo,"a",@progbits".
And assembler moans on that line number.

Changing the declaration in linux/module.h to ".modinfo,"a""
fixed the problem, but i noticed that the author said that
"we want .modinfo to not be allocated"

I wonder why?

I already tried to allocate it (.modinfo,"a" in module.h) and
it seems to work.

Any ideas?

Historically that was the only way of preventing the .modinfo section
from being included in modules when they were loaded into the kernel.
An alternative is to allow .modinfo to be allocated and have modutils
treat it as non-allocated.  This feature was added to modutils 2.3.19
on October 22 (bleeding edge toolchains for IA64 are "fun") so anybody
who is annoyed by the warning messages can apply this patch.

This is exactly what i did (excluding removing of the comment ;-)

I wonder why the compiler decides to add ".section
.modinfo,"a",@progbits"
May be this is the thing which should be fixed.

That is just gcc speak for section .modinfo is marked as allocated,
type progbits.  Read the ELF standard if you want to know more.

I already red the info as pages, but the description was too brief.

If this is default gcc behavior then it seems that changing to latest
modutils is the only option ;-)

I wonder if Linus will apply your patch.

Maybe I wasn't 100% clear - these are people who have intentionally
chosen to do so. (There is probably a slight icache benefit in sharing
the same driver like this, FWIW....)

If you want to roll it into the merge (and can get it past Linus) then
please feel free to do so - I'll be glad to cross it off my list sooner
as opposed to later.

In addition to removing all remains of PCI support from ne.c this patch
also has three trivial changes that were also in my queue for ne.c.

	1) Two new ID signatures added to the bad_clone_list

	2) int base_addr promoted to unsigned int base_addr in ne_probe,
	   as required for SuperH CPU systems that have ne2000 cards.

	3) ISA PnP card info printk'd *before* the actual probe, and
	   not after (just in case the probe silently hangs or whatever).

Paul.

If the ne* drivers are going to be updated, you might want to add in the
full-duplex support of the latest ne2k-pci.c driver at
    ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/ne2k-pci.c

[Jeff Garzik]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1318 bytes --]

Paul,

Ok, here's what I have.  Included are your changes, as well as

drivers/net/ne.c:
* use probe_irq_on/off instead of autoirq_xxx (autoirq is going away)
* request_region first thing in ne_probe1, before any hardware
interaction takes place.  Eliminates any potential resource races.  Also
eliminates a call to check_region.
* Trim trailing whitespace

drivers/net/ne2k-pci.c:
* Merge Becker version 1.02 ne2k-pci.c, which adds forced full duplex
support, and also several cosmetic changes where merely serve to bring
the kernel's ne2k-pci.c closer to Becker's version (ie. makes the diff
smaller).
* Just call BUG() if we don't have a net_device in ne2k_pci_remove_one
* Correct pci_module_init return code handling

As an aside, for 2.5.x, would it be possible to merge all the common
ne2000 code (block_input/output, etc.) from the various ne2k drivers? 
As it stands there exists ne.c, ne2.c, ne2k-pci.c, and pcnet_cs.c, all
of which do pretty much the same thing at their core.  [and AFAICS, all
but pcnet_cs might easily call a common ne2k library]

Regards,

	Jeff

Well, I have tried it with 2.4.0-test10, both SMP and non-SMP, and the
result is a little confusing.

Under SMP a ping -s 50000 -f other_host takes down the network access
with no messages (ne2k-pci), and no possibility of being restored
without a reboot.

Under UP the same command works ok, but after a while the dots stop for
30sec, then ping prints an 'E' and the dots continue. strace revealed
this:

sendmsg(4, {msg_name(16)={sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0),
sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.20")}},
msg_iov(1)=[{"\10\0\305~|\23\231\0\v\317\2:\177\236\r\0\10\t\n\v\f\r"...,
50008}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0x800) = 50008 <30.016855>

ping has been waiting for sendmsg to end for 30 seconds! I don't know if
this could be caused by filling the network buffers, and then waiting a
while while the nic sends it out. As the packet size increases (the -s
option) the stops are more frequent, there is still activity on the
network, but I don't know if they are my packets or the replies.

When ping is stopped it's stuck in sock_wait_for_wmem, and when it's
running it's (usually) in wait_for_packet.

So I think that it could be a little window near sock_wait_for_wmem that
could be SMP insecure wich is affecting me.

The code of sock_wait_for_wmem in 2.4.0-test10 is this:

static long sock_wait_for_wmem(struct sock * sk, long timeo)
{
	DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(wait, current);

	clear_bit(SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE, &sk->socket->flags);
	add_wait_queue(sk->sleep, &wait);
	for (;;) {
		if (signal_pending(current))
			break;
		set_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->socket->flags);
		set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
		if (atomic_read(&sk->wmem_alloc) < sk->sndbuf)
			break;
		if (sk->shutdown & SEND_SHUTDOWN)
			break;
		if (sk->err)
			break;
		timeo = schedule_timeout(timeo);
	}
	__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
	remove_wait_queue(sk->sleep, &wait);
	return timeo;
}

Does someone see something SMP insecure? Perhaps I'm totally wrong, this
could also be somewhere in the interrupt handling, don't know.

No, that code is correct, provided (current->state == TASK_RUNNING)
on entry.  If it isn't, there's a race window which can cause
lost wakeups.   As a check you could add:

	if ((current->state & (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE|TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)) == 0)
		BUG();

to the start of this function.

Another suggestion - if you have your heart set on using ping
as your network stress tool, you may want to try using multiple
instances of MTU sized pings versus  a single "ping -s 50000".
In this way you aren't involving any IP frag code and its associated
bean counting - giving us one less factor to consider.

Oh, and since you get a silent failure, maybe you would be interested
in testing this patch I was (originally) saving for 2.5.x. -- It adds
watchdog transmit timeout functionality to 8390.c (which is used by
the ne2k-pci driver).  Last time I updated it was a couple of months
ago, but nothing has changed since then.

Paul.

OK, added, the function now looks like this:

static long sock_wait_for_wmem(struct sock * sk, long timeo)
{
        DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(wait, current);

        if ((current->state & (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE|TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE))
== 0)
                BUG();

        clear_bit(SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE, &sk->socket->flags);
        add_wait_queue(sk->sleep, &wait);
        for (;;) {
                if (signal_pending(current))
                        break;
                set_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->socket->flags);
                set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
                if (atomic_read(&sk->wmem_alloc) < sk->sndbuf)
                        break;
                if (sk->shutdown & SEND_SHUTDOWN)
                        break;
                if (sk->err)
                        break;
                timeo = schedule_timeout(timeo);
        }
        __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
        remove_wait_queue(sk->sleep, &wait);
        return timeo;
}

I have to put it _after_ DECLARE_WAITQUEUE in order to compile, if I put
it before it says me that wait is undeclared :-?

Well recompile, reboot, and got caugth by BUG(), after some tests.

Sorry, I can't pass it througth ksymoops because it doesn't work for me
in later kernels (RH 6.9.5) it says Fatal Error (re_compile) - Invalid
range end, and I have recompiled it. So I have to give you the results
of sysklogd.

As a side note I have to say that after those BUG the net is still
working, and I have those rules added in init scripts:
        modprobe -k ip_tables
        modprobe -k iptable_nat
        insmod -k ipt_MASQUERADE 
        iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp+ -j MASQUERADE
        iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp+ -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
-j ACCEPT
        iptables -A FORWARD -o ppp+ -j ACCEPT
        echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
Under heavy packet load in these tests I see that NAT messages about
dropped packets.

More tests as requested.

Though it really cannot happen and really happens, as we have seen... 8)

In any case, Andrew, where is the race, when we enter in sleeping state?
Wakeup is not lost, it is just not required when we are not going
to schedule and force task to running state.

I still do not see how it is possible that task runs in sleeping state.
Apparently, set_current_state is forgotten somewhere. Do you see, where? 8)

Tested with ping -f -s 1400 (1400 in order not to reach 1500)
It took about half an hour and more than one million packets, but I
finally took the net down, with 12 concurrent pings.

To eliminate factors I have deleted all the NAT rules wich gave messages
about dropped packets, and unloaded all the iptables modules.

I have to make the test without the test check in sock_wait_for_wmem:
        if ((current->state & (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE|TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE))
== 0)
                BUG();

Because as I said in a previous msg it gave me BUG()s very early in the
tests, and I still had network access.

If someone has a better sugestion as a nic stress tool I can try it, but
now I only have two ways of reaching this limits, ping -f of big
packets, and sometimes (only 4 or 5) during a copy of a large file over
NFS, but it's not a easy way to cause this.

	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	add_wait_queue(...);
	/* window here */
	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	schedule();

If there's a wakeup by another CPU (or this CPU in an interrupt) in
that window, current->state will get switched to TASK_RUNNING.

Then it's immediately overwritten and we go to sleep.  Lost wakeup.

Nope.  Is Jorge running SMP?

OK, there are a few areas which look fishy.

Calling __lock_sock when we're getting ready to wait
on a different waitqueue looks like a rather risky area.
We have a single task which is on two waitqueues.

Consider the case of tcp_data_wait():

	add_wait_queue(sk->sleep)
	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	release_sock(sk);
	if (...)	/* Suppose this evaluates to false */
		schedule_timeout();
	lock_sock();

	__lock_sock()
	{
		add_wait_queue_exclusive(sk->lock.wq);
		/* Window 1: What does a wake_up(sk->sleep) do here? */
		current->state = TASK_EXCLUSIVE | TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE;
		/* Window 2: Bad things happen here */
		schedule();

If someone does a wakeup(sk->sleep) in Window 2 in
__lock_sock() the wakeup code will think that the
task is sleeping on sk->sleep in state
TASK_EXCLUSIVE|TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE,
when in fact it is not.  So a wakeup which _should_ have gone to
a different exclusive task actually goes to this one. This is
fantastically hard to hit because of the direction of the
waitqueue scan.

If the wakeup on sk->sleep happens during Window 1
it will be completely lost, but that's OK because
this task is not yet TASK_EXCLUSIVE (providing the
write ordering behaves as we want?)

If a wakeup on sk->lock.wq happens during Window 1
it will be completely lost.

wait_for_connect() and wait_for_tcp_memory() play similar
games with lock_sock() whereby they can appear to be on
two waitqueues at the same time. And again, because
lock_sock() uses TASK_EXCLUSIVE a wake_up on sk->sleep
could choose this task instead of a TASK_EXCLUSIVE task
which is _really_ sleeping on sk->sleep.

Now, this may not be a problem in practise, and in fact the
above may not be bugs because I missed something. But I suggest you
have a think about it.  My brain is starting to hurt.

But none of these explain Jorge's problem.  How he got to where
he did in !TASK_RUNNING.  Plus the possible lock_sock problems
just look too damn hard to hit to explain Jorge's repeatability.

It may be useful to put a Pentium hardware watchpoint onto
current->state.  Does kdb support those?

Can sock_fasync() be called when we're on a waitqueue, not in
state TASK_RUNNING and prior to schedule()?

inet_wait_for_connect() is OK.
wait_for_tcp_connect() is OK.
tcp_close() is OK.

Also, are you sure that all occurrences of 

	current->state = <whatever>;

are still safe on weakly ordered CPUs? (Not that this
would explain Jorge's problem).

hmm..  khttpd tries to do wake-one, but
interruptible_sleep_on_timeout() confounds it.
Bummer.

Look into code yet. It looks sort of different. Again:

So that it is right not depening on anything.

No, Andrew, this is surely not related to either of puzzles even if it

No top level syscalls can be called in either state but running.
That funny BUG() proves the opposite, but this must not happen in any case.
At least, I still cannot reproduce this here. 8)

It is true disaster to be on multiple wait queues at once.
There are no doubts.

   No, Andrew, this is surely not related to either of puzzles even if it
   is really buggy place. ping does not use either tcp or socket lock. 8)

(BTW, this BUG() case sounds like memory corruption, not logic bug in
 the code.  BUTTT there was hard error in test9, but fixed in test10,
 about wakeups.  It would set task running state back to TASK_RUNNING
 outside of runqueue lock, then add task to runqueue with lock held.
 I assume test10 was tried already though.)

Yes, these multiple wait-queue cases must be repaired.  BTW, look
at fs/pipe.c:pipe_wait(), whoever wrote this understood, even though
second wait queue hides behind semaphore :-)))

Consider next the case of being on some wait queue, and touching user
space, taking fault and sleeping on disk I/O or low memory.  This
issue could have very far reaching consequences.

I will think about this some more.

   I've quickly been through just about all of the kernel wrt
   waitqueues.

My analysis was in error, BEWARE!

Being on multiple wait queues at once is just fine.  I verified this
with Linus tonight.

The problem case is in mixing TASK_EXCLUSIVE and non-TASK_EXCLUSIVE
sleeps, that is what can actually cause problems.

Everything else is fine.  Anyways, the (untested) patch below should
cure the lock_sock() cases.

Well, now it's kernel 2.4.0-test11-pre1 + 8390nmi, and the same

packets to take the ne2k-pci down, but this time the watchdog says:

This touches the places where I saw hangs, so I'm testing.
Too soon to have statistics, but with this patch I have
observed no more failures to wake (what I referred  to as
"soft hangs").

I have seen a total I/O lockup, but no info escapes to
indicate its source. No NMI wakeup available, maybe I should
rig a pushbutton.
