2.6.18-rc5-mm1

[Andrew Morton]

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc5/2.6.18-rc5-mm1/


- CONFIG_BLOCK=n is bust due to
  writeback_congestion_end()/blk_congestion_end() snafu.  We'll fix it later.

- nfs automounts of subdirectories of exported directories are still
  broken.

- drivers/iio/iio_dummy.c causes a depmod failure.  It isn't supposed to
  be here - please ignore it.

- sparc32 doesn't build.




Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

  git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
  mm-commits mailing list.

        echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is
  most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
  introduced the bug.  Instructions for this process are at

        http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

  But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
  reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
  identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
  list on any email.

- Semi-daily snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and are announced on
  the mm-commits list.

The CONFIG_BLOCK changes also seem to prevent the selection of any RAID

Okay, I applied hotfixes and it crashed on boot, keyboard LEDs flashing:

Repeating message, hand copied:
atkbd.c: Spurious ACK in isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying access

Thing is, I've been getting this similar message once in dmesg for ages:

Please try booting with i8042.panicblink=0 to see the real oops (important
data). We should probably disable blinking if X is not active...

.. or try the patch below.

Input: i8042 - disable keyboard port when panicking and blinking

This should get rid of "spurious ACK" messages from atkbd driver
during panic.

There's another hotfix there now:  

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc5/2.6.18-rc5-mm1/hot-fixes/revert-acpi-mwait-c-state-fixes.patch

If that doesn't prevent the crash, please try to get a trace out of it
somehow?

Yes, one of my machine does that when it crashes too.  It makes the crash
information scroll off the screen in about half a second, which isn't very
kernel-developer-friendly.

Please, yes ;)  I always boot to CLI console, run linux boxen 
mostly headless...

Now it say:
VFS: Cannot open root device "803" or unknown-block(8,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3)
 _

What next?  (CC akpm removed 'cos bounced)

Grant.

Dmitry's patch stopped the LEDs but gave VFS no root device error, make no 
sense to me so I start over...

Apply 2.6.18-rc5-mm1, then:
File: drivers-md-kconfig-fix-block-dependency.patch
File: provide-kernel_execve-on-all-architectures-fix-2.patch
File: provide-kernel_execve-on-all-architectures-fix-3.patch
File: revert-acpi-mwait-c-state-fixes.patch
File: revert-ide-hpa-resume-fix.patch

Falls over, looping, after a VFS no root message :(

Apply Dmitry's patch...

Okay, we're not doing the silly looping:

Error is same as previously reported.

A couple blank menu screens in other areas, make oldconfig doesn't :(

WTF happened to SATA support?  Where's it hiding now?  Found it...

Okay, boots --> Needs Dmitry's non-looping patch so errors don't scroll off 
screen.  Problem was SATA moved to new window and `make oldconfig` didn't ;)

Yes, that fixed it; with MSI disabled I can boot successfully.

There are 9 MSI patches in my tree that you can just remove.  They were
just recently (a few hours ago) replaced with a total rewrite due to a
number of different problems that were found.  So I'd suggest just
waiting till the next -mm release to see if it works properly or not.

Yes, try reverting them and see if your machine works again.

Reverting them makes the machine work, with basically the same effect as 
disabling CONFIG_PCI_MSI: no MSI interrupts appear in /proc/interrupts, 
and e1000 & libata are using IO-APIC-fasteoi.  So, a reasonable result 
for now.

Did you re-enable CONFIG_PCI_MSI, after reverting the patches?

Yes.  Er.  Hm, perhaps not, it didn't build:

  CC      drivers/pci/htirq.o
drivers/pci/htirq.c: In function 'ht_create_irq':
drivers/pci/htirq.c:126: error: 'PCI_CAP_ID_HT' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/pci/htirq.c:126: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/pci/htirq.c:126: error: for each function it appears in.)

I'll try again with CONFIG_HT_IRQ disabled...

Hm, still doesn't link with The GregKH Nine removed but CONFIG_MSI:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `pci_enable_msix':
drivers/pci/msi.c:956: undefined reference to `pci_msi_supported'

I'll just do without for now.

Spose so.

But what _did_ cause it?  Looks like we took an IRQ and then leapt into
outer space, when do_IRQ() called desc->handle_irq().

Matthias, could you please test with CONFIG_4KSTACKS=n?

Also, one cause of this might be a module which fails to clean up when it's
removed.  And the trace indicates that some module has previously
been unloaded.  Can you work out which module(s) that might be?

It was specifically an MSI interrupt problem; disabling CONFIG_MSI fixed 
the problem for me.  GregKH said that the MSI patch series in rc5-mm1 is 
broken, and had been replaced.

I'll try CONFIG_4KSTACKS=n when I get back from work (~10hrs...) and
report back.

Just tried CONFIG_4KSTACKS=n but as Jeremy Fitzhardinge suggested, it
didn't change anything ;)

This ACPI "unknown exception code" problem is the same one reported here:
  http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-acpi%40vger.kernel.org/msg02873.html

Basically, we just need to revert this:
  http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc4/2.6.18-rc4-mm3/broken-out/hot-add-mem-x86_64-acpi-motherboard-fix.patch

The above patch happened to fix a hot-add memory problem, but it was
the wrong fix, and we're working out a better one.

Yes please drop this patch.  
  I dislike breaking my boxes functionality without a consensus for the
right fix is but it appears to be breaking others.  The discussion about
what the right fix is ongoing with no definitive direction. At a minimum
this patch will need to be updated. 

Thanks,
  Keith
