Patches against ext3 have been posted by Jan Kara and have been sucked
into the mm tree.  I don't know if Andrew is planning on waiting until
the next merge window, or is planning on pushing it sooner given that
it is a regression.  (These supercede the ones currently posted by
Eric in the BZ entry.)

Similar patches have been posted against ext4, and I will be handling
them in the ext4 tree.

Yes, I have jbd-fix-return-value-of-journal_start_commit.patch and
revert-ext3-wait-on-all-pending-commits-in-ext3_sync_fs.patch queued
for 2.6.29.

The secret algorithm for determining this is to peek in the series file
(http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/series) and see where I positioned the
patch:

Re: [Bug #12393] debugging in dosemu causes lots of 'scheduling while atomic'

[Michal Suchanek]

As I said earlier I have received a patch that I applied locally and
that fixes the problem.

As to if and when the patch actually appears in the kernel is out of
my control, and nobody told me that it was applied.

If you believe it was applied to a kernel version that is readily
available for download I am wiling to test such version.

Thanks

Michal

Still around.  Btw, I'm not sure it's a regression as I only started
using virtio_blk heavily during the 2.6.28 cycle.

Well, assuming that it is a regression raises its chances to be fixed faster. ;-)

I asked [1] the Submitter some time ago to check whether reverting a 
particular commit fixes the issue, but never heard back.

I never received the email referring to a particular commit because
I am not subscribed to LKML.  The commit revert seemed to work OK on 
gameport.c, but I get an error that gameport.h requires merge 
resolution.

Can you send the gameport.c and gameport.h files to me with the
reverted commit, or tell me how to get this resolved?

Please CC me directly.

Thanks,

Andy Johnson

I CCed you, but your ISP blacklisted both of my SMTP servers I have tried 
for no apparent reason.

Please try the patch below. It's not a simple revert of 6902c0be, needed 
some manual tweaking.

Yes, this should still be listed.

It gets added because it is present in the Author: field in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12465#c5

This is how the script works, sorry for the inconvenience.

There is a fix against scsi-misc:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=123371501613019&w=2

I might need to fix it in a different way though.

There are other pending patches to fix other sg oops in scsi-misc so
the above fix can't be cleanly applied to 2.6.28.X. I'll send a patch
for 2.6.28.X once I get SCSI maintainer's ACK on it.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Strage, at the moment I can't seem to reproduce the problem. I've
switched back to the version of 2.6.28.3 and now it seems to work.
I'll continue with tesing.

Some additional data:
The BIOS-upgrade tool (Afud408.exe) resets the MAC address. I had to run
the tool a second time to re-programm the MAC-address using its /M
option. I useed the unreversed MAC-address back than.
I also tried the reversed address once, but after that forcedeth.c
complained about a wrong MAC-address.

If I completely turn off the power (pull the plug), WOL doesn't work,
even when it's enabled in the BIOS.

Only after I'v started Linux, do "echo NMAC > /proc/acpi/wakeup" and
"ethtool -s eth0 wol g" does it work again.

Nether the less here's the output of dmesg:
        forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nFoce ethernet driver. Version 0.61.
        ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LMAC] enables at IRQ 23
        forcedeth: 0000:00:14.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LMAC] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23

The line maked * was inserted by me in the source file for my debugging.

that means your BIOS doesn't reverse mac addr.
this is the one for new BIOS or old BIOS?

Just this morning I had to use the reverted address to wake up my
desktop PC after 6 hours of poweroff.

Yesterdays tests were domething like the following:
	Grub: Linux "loglevel=9 ignore_loglevel break=modules"
	dmesg -c > /dev/null
	modprobe forcedeth
	dmesg
	ethtool -s eth0 wol g
	echo NMAC > /proc/acpi/wakeup
	reboot to Grub using Alt-SysRq-B
	Grub: "halt"
I have to reboot back to Grub, since doing a "poweroff" from initrd or
pressing Alt-SysRq-O seems to turn of WOL.

...

Will try.

This is the new BIOS.

Re: WOL with forcedeth broken since f55c21fd9a92a444e55ad1ca4e4732d56661bf2e

Hello again!

I did some structured tesing:

1. WOL does _not_ work at all when I do:
	(grub) boot into initrd
	(initrd) modprobe forcedeth
	(initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
*	(initrd) poweroff

2. WOL does _not_ work at all when I do:
	(grub) boot into initrd
	(initrd) modprobe forcedeth
	(initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
*	(initrd) Alt-SysRq-O

3. WOL works using the _un-reversed_ MAC when I do:
	(grub) boot into initrd
	(initrd) modprobe forcedeth
	(initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
*	(initrd) Alt-SysRq-B
*	(grub) halt

4. WOL works using the _reversed_ MAC when I do:
	(grub) boot into initrd
	(initrd) modprobe forcedeth
	(initrd) ethtool -s eth0 wol g
	(initrd) exit
*	(Debian) poweroff

If I do the poweroff from linux (either initrd or Debian), forcedeth
seems to display some messages just before poweroff. I'll try to get
hands on a Serial-USB-Converter and a NULL-modem-cable to capture it,
since my laptop is legacy-free :-(

OK, but for now I'll close the bug as unreproducible.

The "echo NMAC > /proc/acpi/wakeup" thing shouldn't be necessary if you do
"ethtool -s eth0 wol g".

I have installed kernel 2.6.28.1, and this still does not work.

What exactly doesn't work? Namely:

- do you see jsX node appearing in /dev after you modprobe joydev 
  manually?
- do you see the corresponding entry for the gameport in 
  /sys/bus/gameport/{devices,drivers} ?

No.  Running 2.6.28.1 "find /dev -ls | grep j" returns nothing.

Running 2.6.27.9, the same "find /dev -ls | grep j" returns:
