2.6.28-rc5: Reported regressions from 2.6.27

2.6.28-rc5: Reported regressions from 2.6.27

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

[NOTES:
 (1) Due to some recent controversies, in future I will only use 'Handled-By'
     tags for people who actually submit a patch or provide substantial help to
     the reporter (like advising him which commits to revert etc.).
 (2) We have almost as many regressions with patches as unresolved ones and
     the majority of these patches have not been merged for over two weeks
     (for almost three weeks in many cases and for over a _month_ in one case).
     IMO, this is insane.]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.27, for which there
are no fixes in the mainline I know of.  If any of them have been fixed already,
please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.27, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list.  Also, please let me know if any of the
entries below are invalid.

Each entry from the list will be sent additionally in an automatic reply to
this message with CCs to the people involved in reporting and handling the
issue.

There are no ABI guarantees for the sysprof tracer at this point,
given that it is in debugfs and that there is no working userspace
code using it.

to avoid situations like this, it would be nice to print out the 
format string itself in the trace header, in printf format string 
style. That way if there's a trivial expansion in trace format, it can 
be detected (and even followed) by user-space - without some ugly 
version based API.

It's not clear to me that sysprof userspace could realistically do
runtime detection. It would require (a) using sscanf() to parse the
output and (b) that only the types changed, not the actual content or
ordering. (a) is likely a non-starter performance-wise (the first
version actually did this and it was too slow), and (b) means there
are strict limits to what could be changed anyway.

Continue to malfunction. More details on the bugzilla entry. But basically, I had:

- one complete lock on VC switching (not switching back, just pressing ctrl-alt-f1).
- 3 two-plus minutes delay on VC switching
- a complete freeze on resuming from ram (not even SysRq-b working).

OTOH, it seems that VC malfunctioning happens only with "visual effect" aka 
compiz on.

Back to 2.6.27.5. This is quite worrying now... should I try to start a
bisection? Although I know from experience that bisecting over a -rc1 is quite
painful.

What should I test?

I see -rc5 is out, but I didn't spot the fix in the changelog.

(The ring buffer NULL dereference on resize / unallocated max tracer.)

Ingo's solution was to have the ring_buffer_resize return success on NULL 
buffer being passed in. Although I agree that it should not crash when 
passed a NULL pointer, I feel that a NULL pointer should return a -1 
(failure). The caller of the code (one place in kernel/trace/trace.c) 
could simply check if the buffer was allocated, and if not, simply ignore 
it.

I agree with Ingo that my original solution was too much churn. But the 
simple if statement and "indent" change is what I feel to be the solution, 
not letting the ring buffer return success on NULL pointer.

The fix seems to be still missing from HEAD, but I tested it and it
fixed the regression that I noticed.

Some of them are quite serious too - some stuff is basically unusable in
2.6.28rc due to the vmalloc bug.

Is there any reason why someone (Rafael ?) shouldn't simply submit all of
those patches that look sensible, are reported to fix regressions and
whose maintainer has not provided a reason to NOT apply them into the
tree ?

There is for SCSI.  Our two bugzilla entries each have several patches
(one has two, the other has four).  The patches listed in the
regressions aren't necessarily going to be the ones applied (depending
on how the arguing and testing goes).

Re: 2.6.28-rc5: Reported regressions from 2.6.27

[Maxim Levitsky]

Just to note, here on acer aspire one suspend to disk is broken too.
System suspends, and then hangs.

If I shutdown the system, and then attempt resume, it resumes, and then hangs.

Best regards,

At which point exactly does it hang?

What's the most recent kernel you tried?

> If I shutdown the system, and then attempt resume, it resumes, and then hangs.

Again, at which point does it hang exactly?

I assume this doesn't happen with 2.6.27.  Is this correct?

The patch should definitely be merged as it fixes a problem. Andrew,
will you send it to Linus ? There's no fbdev maintainer anymore...

Here's the up to date patch (same as previously posted minus a warning
that was due to a now unused variable that I removed in this one). It
doesn't fix -other- problems reported with suspend & shutdown that have
been elusive so far (I really haven't reproduced despite some serious
torturing) and could be X bugs in the first place. I'll continue
investigating them but in the meantime, this should go in.

radeonfb: Fix problem with color expansion & alignment

The engine on some radeon variants locks up if color expansion is
called for non aligned source data. This patch enables a feature of
the core fbdev to request aligned input pixmaps and uses the HW
clipping engine to clip the output to the requested size

FYI. I'm back at work today, at which point I'll have a similar machine
to one of the victims which should allow me to either reproduce & fix,
or if I can't, send a workaround in the form of disabling that
specific acceleration unless explicitely enabled from the command line.

So expect a patch later today.

Cheers,
Ben.

Allright, so I finally managed to find a machine to reproduce it and
I have a patch that fixes it here. I'm basically implementing the same
thing as X which is to ensure the bitmap is padded to 32 pixels. The
core fbcon has support for that to a certain extent so it's a fairly
small change.

Note that there was another bug, I think I was missing one
wait_for_fifo() though fixing that didn't make a difference here.

However, it's possible that this significantly impacts the performances,
maybe to the point where we may want to back out the imageblt
acceleration.

David, would you mind testing on your machine ? It's the one that shows
the biggest performance improvement, and I would like to know how much
it is affected by that patch. As long as the "worst case" performance
is still reasonable, I'm ok to take the hit if the improvement for you
is still significant.

Cheers,
Ben.

radeonfb: Fix accel problems with new imageblit hook

Some radeon chips have issues with color expansion of pixmaps that
aren't a multiple of 32 pixels wide. This works around it the same
way X does by requesting the right pitch alignment from fbcon and
then using the chip scissors to do clipping to the requested size.

Unfortunately this does not fix the suspend regression on PowerBook6,7.
Instead I have to use the workaround in

Strange. The suspend problem happens also when X hasn't been launched at all ?

There seems to be some race involved here.  I cannot reproduce the
problem ATM.

I wonder if it's related to the new acceleration at all then.

I've tried various suspend/resume cycles in straight console mode using
directly snooze -f (kernel ioctl) and from X using ubuntu intrepid and
gnome power manager and it worked fine on a 5,6 which should be fairly
similar to your 6,7 I think.

It's possible that there's yet another X related race though. I've seen
cases of X whacking the chip -after- it has religuished the console back
to the kernel (back to KD_TEXT) in the past which is very wrong, though
I didn't spot that during my testing, there could be some race lurking
there.

Can you describe your problem more precisely ? I didn't see (or forgot)
your initial report. Did it crash on suspend or wakeup ? what symptoms ?

Note also that on PowerBooks, there's a platform hook that allows
radeonfb to wake up the video chip _very_ early, thus allowing easier
debugging of the boot process, so even races like that on wakeup would
surprise me since we do wakup up the chip before we even get a chance to
schedule userspace again (in fact before we even bring back the L2
cache !)  

Cheers,
Ben.

Does it actually switches away from X ?

IE. You see the console before the crap on console or not ?

I've seen what you describe happening when doing snooze -f (direct
kernel ioctl) straight from within X. It seems to me that the problem
was that for some reason it didn't switch the console, which would
definitely make it crash. I need to double check what's up, it's
possible that the kernel fails to switch it properly or fails to wait
for X to ack the switch.

In any case, I doesn't seem to be directly related to those radeonfb
changes, though a clash with X like that is indeed more likely to
actually happen if radeonfb relies more heavily on acceleration.

I'll have a look later today at the console switch from X in the kernel
see if it's been broken in a way or another.

Note: I just did some tests using both echo "mem" >/sys/power/state and
snooze -f and it worked fine. IE, the console switch away from X worked.
So while I think I observed your problem once, I also cannot reproduce
it now.

I wonder if there's a race condition in the VT switch. It's possible
that it could be yet another case of X whacking the chip after it has
effectively relinguished control of the VT to the kernel, or it could be
a kernel race.

Cheers,
Ben.

Just a silly question, without actually looking at the code - since you 
now do acceleration in radeonfb, do you wait for everything to drain 
before you switch consoles? 

There could be races that depend on timing, where perhaps X is unhappy 
about being entered with the acceleration engine busy, or conversely the 
radeonfb code is unhappy about perhaps some still-in-progress X thing that 
hasn't been synchronously waited for..

Before, radeonfb_imageblit() would always end up doing a 
"radeon_engine_idle()", so in practice, I think just about any fbcon 
access ended up idling the engine. Now, we can probably do a lot more 
without syncronizing - maybe there's insufficient synchronization at the 
switch-over from X to text-mode or vice versa?

radeonfb has been doing acceleration for some time :-) Just not color
expansion, only blits and solid fills (so basically scrolling). That is
a lot less common though and thus it's possible that existing races
didn't show up until now.

It does drain the engine in various cases, typically mode change,
blanking, sync callback. fbcon core should at least sync if not blank
when switching to KD_GRAPHICS (or at least used to, I need to double
check). I have additional guards also that disable use of the engine
when sleeping.

Yes. From what's been reported, the more likely thing would be a race
when switching away from X.

Switch over from X should restore KD_TEXT which should turn to a call to
set_par() that idles the engine before anything gets written to the
screen, but those code path are intricated between the VT code and fbcon
and things may well be subtely broken. I'll dig later today after I'm
done with some other emergency.

At one point, I fixed a crapload of VT bugs where things were done
without any locking, nowadays, everything should pretty much be covered
by the console semaphore, but maybe there's still a problem there.
Another area to look at is X itself. I've had problems with X (or the
DRM) still whacking the card after handing back the console to the
kernel in the past, so it wouldn't surprise me if there was something
bogus there too.

I also had problems with fbcon trying to draw before it re-initialized
the card (ie, it -should- call set_par before any new draw operation
when switching back from KD_GRAPHICS, if not, we don't properly get to
reconfigure the engine before we try to use it, which can be fatal), but
those were fixed last time I looked.

Anyway, I'll dig and let you know what I find.

Cheers,
Ben.

I haven't quite figured out what's up yet.

How does it compare with not having the acceleration ? ie. I don't think
I can do anything about it, except maybe optimize for the case where the
pixmap is already aligned (and thus doesn't need scissors), the main
question is is the acceleration still worth it or not at all since it's
generally not worth it on other architectures.

Cheers,
Ben.

It makes a huge difference, with the acceleration patch:

reverted, the test case takes 25 seconds or more instead of
the 7 or 8 seconds we're seeing now.

Ok, thanks a lot for those tests !

So I consider the loss of perfs due to the workaround to be minor enough
here. I'll submit the patch for inclusion.

I might look at not doing the clipping in cases things are already
aligned later but I doubt it's going to be worth the pain,

Ben.

BTW, there is a warning generated by this fix, the src_bytes

Ok thanks. I'll check that asap. I think I did remove the use some
