This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.23 reported since
2.6.24-rc1 was released, 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 2.6.23, 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.

For details, please follow the links given in references.

As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions.
There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions from 2.6.23,
unresolved as well as resolved, at:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9243

Please let me know if there are any Bugzilla entries that should be added to
the list in there.

Thanks,
Rafael

That strace shows that trying to open /dev/null fails with ENXIO:

	[pid  6050] open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...>
	[pid  6050] <... open resumed> )        = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)

and everything goes downhill from there.

It would be worth looking at your /dev/null to see what kind of (broken) 
device node it is, and get a clue about *why* it is broken.

Greg, any udev breakage that could affect /dev/null?

Hmm. I assume the "-git6" and "-git7" are 2.6.24-rc4-gitX, ie commits

 - 2.6.24-rc5-git6: 3e3b3916a9c5c28a16528585478de19fea59816b
 - 2.6.24-rc5-git7: fbdcf18df73758b2e187ab94678b30cd5f6ff9f9

and doing a

	gitk 3e3b3916a9..fbdcf18df7

does show a SCSI merge, and two commits that touch drivers/scsi/initio.*.

James, Alan and Boaz, ideas?

Initio has been suspected broken even after all the bug fixes (I
actually said that in the last pull request).  We just couldn't get a
tester to confirm the suspicion.  The commits were for known issues but
it proved impossible to get any of the reporters to verify.

Could you direct this poster to linux-scsi and we'll see if we can
finger the root cause (which will be difficult to do without getting a
boot trace).

I do not know of any such breakage.

But, as this is in a chroot, hopefully udev has properly populated the
chrooted /dev tree for the process to provide the /dev/null device node?

Tino, did you provide a /dev/ for your chroot?  Did you use udev to
create it, or did you use a static /dev tree?

FYI, here's a new one reported against 2.6.24-rc6-git7:

OK, I have removed it from the list.

because it's default-enabled, and someone would have to consciously 
disable it to intentionally trigger DMA bugs in drivers, right?

Yes.  Plus there's a statement at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9618#c2
that clarifies it further.
