Is the vger 2.2 kernel branch dead

Is the vger 2.2 kernel branch dead

[VALETTE Eric]

I tried to upgrade here and no changes during one month!!!
As there still some important bugs in 2.2.10++, I wonder
why nothing happens???

Perhaps nobody has submitted any bug fixes?

Btw: what is the status for the SHM bug? Can we easiely push it up to 16MB?

/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h

#define SHMMAX 0x1000000                /* max shared seg size (bytes) */


Another problem is the missing  set_bit, clear_bit, ... in /usr/include/asm/bitops.h

This is ifdefed with   #if 0 ... #endif


Regards,


       Hartmut

cdrecord (Re: Is the vger 2.2 kernel branch dead)

[Brad Midgley]

on the topic of cdrecord, i found i can burn to CDRW media but not CDRs
(it dies with "retryable errors" when closing the CDR)  this is on a
7500's external bus with paul's 2.2.10 and a ricoh MP6201S firmware 2.20
using Cdrecord release 1.8a22. has anyone else seen this?

> #define SHMMAX 0x1000000                /* max shared seg size (bytes) */

this one can be fixed in userspace. in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:

# set shmmax to allow cdrecord to work
echo 6000000 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

Actually that is not true.  Motorola has submitted changes to both Paul
and Cort that have not made it into vger.  Last I know the sources in
vger would not boot on Motorola platforms other than Blackhawks and
Utahs.

I'd very much like to get the changes in.

Try putting 'em vs 2.3.x.  I think right now the push is to fix all the
little annoyances/problems that we're stuck w/ in 2.2.x and move forward
in 2.3.x.  Then backport things later on.

I thought 2.2.x was meant to be the stable branch and 2.3.x the dev ?  It
seems strange to back-port fixes to known bugs in the stable branch from a
dev branch which is frequently broken - or do I misunderstand ? Stable
doesnt equal frozen in my book.

2.2.x is for obvious and correct stuff, important fixes and the like.
Some of the stuff no doubt belongs in 2.2.x.  Other things I've seen go
past (Hotswap PCI) is most definatly a 2.3.x thing (IMHO) and might need
some work to be accepted by linus (as hotswap is a generic thing, but i
didn't look over that patch very well).  Of course another problem is
making sure Cort or Paul actually sees the patch and doesn't accidently
just delete it.  I know Cort gave some people who asked accounts on
linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu for patches, and I think there's a place anyone can
upload...

Is anyone in the PPC camp actually following the vger 2.3.x branch? I am
asking because since almost a month this branch hasn't compiled on my
ppc any more, due to some obvious bugs. Maybe it is better to wait until
the dust from that page-cache adventure has settled?

I was being facetious.  Honestly, somebody is feeding me a major line of
crap.  Cort claims to get no patches from Motorola, yet Johnnie claims to
be sending them in.  Since my stuff is in Johnnie's repository, it's a
problem for me.  Hopefully, this time things start going in cause if
not we'll have to find another route.

This is as we speak being fixed.  Look at vger in the next
few days for the changes.

I was thinking Cort may be on vacation... If this is the case, It's bad
it has not been announced. Nevertheless, once again, the lack of transparency
for patch handling is *really* annoying...

I understand patches can be rejected. At least I would like to know why...

AFAIK Cort is not on vacation. He checks in patches at vger on a daily base.

Define "PReP IDE handling is broken" because it isn't broken on systems
that use only the legacy PIC.  I only see breakage on MPIC Mot. systems
here with positive results on PowerStacks etc...

I assume you are referring to the MCP750 level inversion problem for one.
The other problem is how the pci-ide driver snags interrupt 16 from the
PIB config space on all Mot. Raven/Hawk boards as the IDE interrupt.  I've
got patches for these things. They are not in the patch that Johnnie sent
in because there is an outstanding issue of the MTX IDE driver hanging on
the partition check that I would like to fix as well (even though nobody
should be using IDE if they paid for an MTX :).

No no. Ide Byte swapping is broken again for PREP machines and 2.2.10 kernel...
(same type of patch you've send months ago)...

Here is my patch for the via + ide...
Pease note that as IDE interrupt source can be assigned directly

I'm not so sure that you want -Bsymbolic.  Plus, using ld for linking
is rarely a good idea; you should always use gcc.

All of these are symbols from the dynamic linker.  That they aren't
being found implies mislinking.

	this is from there stock configure script.
	all i did was commented out some loggin procedures
	in misc.c of the odbc intercace ( mulog and qlog).

	this allows the package to compile but not to link

	i even did a make clean and this still pops up.

	i have been messing with this now for a few weeks 
	but only now have i gotten ODBC to compile...

The trouble is that "PReP" is such an ill-defined idea.  I was
interested to see your patch, but I assume that some other PReP
machines need it the way it is without your patch.

Without the patch you can still install and run linux
from PPCBUG using the Network BOot command (NBO) and using
local IDE disks but you fail to use the "pboot;a" booting 
directly from hard disk (or at power on)...

AND more annoying, of course you must reinstall your disk
if you formatted it using the non correct ide byte swap handling

Re: Unresolved symbols....

[Franz Sirl]

This looks like a bug in binutils that has been fixed recently. Try 2.9.4.0.8
available on <ftp://dev.linuxppc.org/users/fsirl/R5/RPMS/ppc/>.

Franz.
