This would maybe warrant a bk option to remove trailing
whitespace from modified lines.  Preferably with an
notification that it is happening so if for some reason you
do want trailing whitespace you could abort or override.

A patch filter that removed trailing whitespace from + lines
could also be used.

AFAIK Andrew already uses a script to check for trailing spaces,
and I do also.  Yes, it could be modified to be a conversion filter,
but it doesn't happen frequently, and when it does, I want to let
the poster know about it, so I like to have the evidence handy.  :)

* Passing packet to IP layer
From: suresh k @ 2004-01-28  4:00 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netfilter

Hi,
I am capturing packets using netfilters. I am modifying the packets and I want to give 
it "up the linux IP stack" in the kernel. The implementation has to been done as a 
loadable module. I have a problem here, I don't find any kernel exported symbol which 
can be used to send the modified stack up the stack and give it to the IP module. Kindly 
tell me if there is any way to do that. I thought abt compiling the code which I have 
written along with the kernel and use the kernel functions directly, but it is not 
portable. Kindly tell me how to proceed. 
cheers

Hi,
I want to get the IP address of the interface in the kernel. I have seen the mail list 
archives discussing this. I want to implement the code as a loadable module. I don't 
think the suggested in the archives work, as those functions are not exported. Is there 
any other way to handle this. Kindly help me out.

Yeah, but it has uncleanlinesses of its own (like the need to generate a config
file on the fly), but it's cleaner than what I have now.

My major problem with it is that attaching consoles to ports will stop working
for some number of users if I switch to termnetd, and I'm willing to put up
with some amount of nastiness inside UML if it increases the size of the 
userbase that UML works for out of the box.

That concern would be somewhat assuaged if UML were generally installed with
packages that could be made to depend on termpkg, but I think that's not the
case.

No, but this isn't the real question.

This is, and this could be done by setting O_DIRECT on UML swap devices.  That
way, writes go directly (and asynchronously) to the device without landing
in the cache.

With mmap in effect, this can also be done with a MADVISE_DONTNEED on the
relevant pages of the swap file.

Patches cheerfully accepted.

sendfile has nothing to do with passing descriptors across unix sockets.
It is a relatively new performance tweak which allows files to be copied
without the data flowing through userspace.

OK, that being the case, it's better to complain before sending anything to
UML rather than after you've tried and failed.

Hmmm.

If you could get a stack trace from the last call to schedule, that would be
handy.  You could automate it with
	comm <n>
	bt
	c
	end

with breakpoint <n> attached to schedule().

* PROBLEM: CPU lockup during halt for Shuttle SB61G2 p4 with hyperthreading 2.4.24
From: Tom Epperly @ 2004-01-28  4:26 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-smp

[1.] CPU lockup during halt for Shuttle SB61G2 p4 with hyperthreading

[2.] Full description
I've got a Shuttle SB61G2 purchased 12/31/03 with a 2.6GHz P4 with
hyperthreading. Sometimes when shutting down, I get the "Power down."
message, but it doesn't actually power down the system. It just sits
there indefinitely. I tried enabling nmi_watchdog=1, and I
intermittently get kernel oopses. I only started having problems when I
compiled the kernel with SMP enabled. A non-SMP kernel never locks up.

I transcribed the oops message from my screen and ran ksymoops on it. I
am running a vanilla 2.4.24 downloaded from kernel.org compiled with
gcc-2.95.

Please Cc me on replies as I am not subscribed to linux-smp.

[3.] Keywords: Lockup SMP
[4.] Linux version 2.4.24-vanilla (root@faerun) (gcc version 2.95.4
20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #3 SMP Fri Jan 16 07:30:34 PST 2004
[5.] 
I had to write this on paper and then type it in by hand. I was very
careful, but transcription errors are always a possibility:

     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.24-vanilla (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find

I do something similar but with tapes, not a second server. Every
evening, about 15 minutes before the backups, I delete an old snapshot
and create a new one. As this snapshot is mounted and exported via NFS I
have to undo this first (which has caused slight problems,
occasionally). I then backup the newly created snapshot to tape using
amanda. Using the snapshot ensures that amanda and dump (even though
working at the block level) is guaranteed not to see a changing
filesystem, and the snapshot remains available for most of the next 24
hours for a user-initiated recovery of yesterday's version of a file.
Any longer than that, and we have to go to the tapes, but amanda's
indexing makes it quite easy to step back in time and see the filenames
that were previously on disk (though not change dates). Such as it is, I
can make the snapshot script available.

It is a common problem with Dell's DSDT implementation which does not
follow ACPI spec and it's been going on for ages. From the original
report:

cpufreq: CPU0 - ACPI performance management activated
 cpufreq: *P0: 1Mhz, 0 mW, 0 uS
 cpufreq: P1: 0Mhz, 0 mW, 0 uS
 divide error: 0000 [#1]

As you can see all data is bogus... Patching DSDT cures it for sure,
sometimes CONFIG_ACPI_RELAXED_AML helps as well.

I suppose ACPI P-states driver could check frequencies/latencies and
refuse to activate if the are bogus.

Looks OK to me.

On pSeries (ppc64) machines, we don't get an asynchronous machine
check, but instead the read will return all 1s, and the system will
isolate the slot and arrange that all further reads return all 1s.
If you get all 1s back on a read, you are supposed to do a firmware
call to find out if there was actually an error.

With your design, I would make readX_check set a bit somewhere
(associated with the dev argument) if it saw all 1s, and then make
read_pcix_errors do the firmware call if the bit is set.

The only thing to be careful of is that drivers cope correctly with an
all-1s value returned.  E.g. they shouldn't do:

	while (readb_check(dev, offset) & BUSY)
		udelay(1);

But of course they shouldn't do that anyway. :)

Recent versions of emacs, for those that use it, have whitespace.el (for
cleaning up as you go along).  It can cleanup different kinds of
whitespace based on settings.  Check C-h f whitespace-describe for more
details.  Got used to that heavily at one point, these days I am kind of
neutral, sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't bother.

Ah, that's something I hadn't considered.

OK, build it and maybe people will come :-)

Yeah, the driver needs to round up to 512 bytes when reading the header.

That's going to get confused with O_DIRECT, especially if the memnonic is
'direct'.  I was also thing 'd', but it meant 'data'.

> Why not, we already have a type field the cow_version why do we need

Because version changes reflect incompatible changes in the format.  You
bump the version number when old UMLs can't read the new format.  When you
add ISAM, old UMLs won't be able to read it, but they will still be able
to read the normal COW bitmaps.  So, this calls for the assignment of a
new cow_format, not a new version.

This means we need to separate out the stuff that's specific to cow_format
0 from what's not.  This may require COW V4, but it doesn't call for a new
version just for ISAM.

OK, I think that sounds reasonable.

I agree, but I'd like to see at least a plausible use for something before
writing it up.

So libc provides emulation of the aio syscalls, not just aio emulation with
its own interface?  In that case, the syscalls can be tested with syscall().

Yeah, that would be a good thing.  It would also be a good thing to be able
to pass them into the host kernel, so it respects barriers as well.  That way
we'd get journalling consistency from the UML filesystem down to the host disk
without needing to turn on O_SYNC.

Well, this needs to be tested. I will try nerfilter module which can drop
each n-th packet.
I wonder what will happen.
At least policer was not sucessfull for dropping packets.

Basicaly all this could be fixed if to find a way to tell kernel  that
device is busy and dont want more data.
