Re: broken dpt_i2o in 2.6.23 (was: ext2 check page: bad entry in directory) (fwd)

[Anders Henke]

Hi,

I'd like to let you now that my boxes are running a 32-bit kernel, so
the 64-bit-uncleanliness shouldn't apply to my boxes; however,

http://www.miquels.cistron.nl/linux/dpt_i2o-64bit-2.6.23.patch

fixed the issue on my testbox.

I took a clean 2.6.23, applied patch, recompiled the kernel, reboot: works.



Regards,

Anders

PS: Sorry for breaking the threading, I'm not a regular subscriber to
linux-kernel and haven't received Miguel's message by mail.

What a huge patch :(

We already reverted the offening patch so I assume that 2.6.24-rc5 is
working for you?

I guess we need to look at restoring "dpt_i2o: convert to SCSI hotplug
model" and then absorbing what Miquel has done there.

This was just a patch I had lying around, if it worked it would confirm
my suspicion, which it has.

The minimal patch which is suitable for 2.6.23-stable and 2.6.24 would
be the attached one-liner. The "dpt_i2o: convert to SCSI hotplug model"
patch could be restored then.

(if the list eats the attachment, it's also available here:
http://www.miquels.cistron.nl/linux/linux-2.6.23+24-dpt_i2o-dma64.patch 
)

Anders, does this one-liner patch work for you ?

Mike.

Got it - and it works!

I took a clean 2.6.23, applied the patch, recompiled the kernel and
rebooted my testbox: came up with the fresh-compiled kernel 
(verified by "uname -a").

That looks appropriate for 2.6.23.x:

However it is a bit mystifying that

(isn't it?)

The scsi people might want to restore

top for 2.6.24, or do it for 2.6.25?

Yes, this has to be in ... the mptr filling the scatterlist on the
current driver is only a u32 and so will silently truncate.

I think it's a bit late in the game for 2.6.24, so I'm happy to leave
the hotplug reverted.  We'll try adding back hotplug plus this for
2.6.25 I think.

So, what should be added to 2.6.23-stable then?  And, can I get a real

[PATCH] dpt_i2o: don't set DMA_64BIT_MASK [was: Re: [stable] broken dpt_i2o in 2.6.23 (was: ext2 check page: bad entry in directory) (fwd)]

[Miquel van Smoorenburg]

According to Greg KH:
> So, what should be added to 2.6.23-stable then?  And, can I get a real

This is suitable for both 2.6.23.x and 2.6.24-rc5 :

linux-2.6-dpt_i2o-no-dma64.patch

The dpt_i2o driver can't handle 64 bit DMA addresses, so do not
let it set pci_set_dma_mask(pDev, DMA_64BIT_MASK) .

Yes, the vanilla 2.6.24-rc5 works fine (at least it's booting :-).

I've tried 2.6.23 with

http://www.miquels.cistron.nl/linux/linux-2.6.23+24-dpt_i2o-dma64.patch

... and that's enough to make my boxes boot again.
