I thought this was already resolved.

And I don't think the kernel is buggy, this is expected behaviour. With
this commit (actually, there were several patches) /sbin/init respects
SIGSTOP if the caller has rights to send it, this change is intentional.
I'd even say this is fix.

Note that even root can't stop init, SIGSTOP should be sent from the
parent namespace, or from ptracer. And ptracer could obviously ptrace_stop()
init even before this patch.


But, Kumar, could you please provide more info? I downloaded
ltp-full-20081130.tgz, and I see that ptrace03.c does:

                        /* since Linux 2.6.26, it's allowed to trace init,
                           so just skip this test case */
                        if (i == 0 && tst_kvercmp(2,6,25) > 0) {
                                tst_resm(TCONF,
                                         "this kernel allows to trace init");
                                continue;
                        }

So, could you explain which test traces init?

Yes, so did I. We had asked for more info/confirmation before, most recently
on Apr 25 http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/25/132, although finding the LTP
test like below would have helped :-)

There's one important aspect here: _if_ a change results in 
user-space visible behavioral change, it does not matter how correct 
it is in the grand scheme of things. (beyond plain bugfixes solving 
crashes, etc.) What matters is whether there's any app out there 
that might possibly rely on the old behavior.

The LTP testcase might be synthetic, and it could be fixed and the 
commit might even end up being correct - but some thought should be 
expended on compatibility and real-life impact (and scope) here - 
not just on strict 'correctness'.

Yes, agreed.

But hopefully in this case we can't break the user-space. Because the
tracing of /sbin/init is special, and this was forbidden till 2.6.25.
Not only you can make the system unusable, it is very easy to crash
the kernel if you trace init. I don't think any "good" app can rely
on the wrong old behaviour, but of course any behavioral change is
dangerous.

And please note that the old behaviour was known to be wrong. If we
take the sub-namespace inits into account, it was very wrong. Of course,
we can add the special is_global_init() hack to preserve the current
behaviour at least for the root namespace, but this doesn't look good.

As far as I can tell, this seams to be fixed by the intel-2.7.1 driver, 
and the bug only happened with UXA.
I did some minor testing and I couldn't trigger the bug. (earlier 
discussion in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/23/587)
So this seams to be a user space bug, fixed in the intel-2.7.1 bug fix 
release (intel-2.7.0 still has the issue).

Well..  order-1 GFP_ATOMIC allocations are unreliable.  The networking
code should hanlde the situation and recover.  I assume that is
happening in this case?

Perhaps we did something in that code after 2.6.29 which increased the
frequency of the order-1 allocation attempts?  Maybe earlier kernels
used order-0 all the time?  Those are much more reliable.

Yes, the driver has recovered in all cases so far.

I think something happened to change the allocation as I never saw these O(1)
failures before with these particular drivers. I put in a few test printk's and
the buffers were 700-800 bytes long, and I would not expect them to require more
than an O(0) allocation.

I pushed 2.6.30-rc6 hard for ~12 hours without any recurrence of the problem.
Given the relative infrequency of the error, this certainly does not indicate a
fix in recent code. I will be trying to force it again.

I wonder if this is related:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13069

Both point to post 2.6.29... Hmm.

I have been unable to repeat the problem with recent kernels - I am now running
2.6.30-rc6. This regression should probably be dropped even though it may show
up when 2.6.30 is released.

The code in this one decodes to

  39:	00 
  3a:	48 8b 13             	mov    (%rbx),%rdx

which seems to match (modulo normal compiler issues):

        movq    -56(%rbp), %rdi # %sfp,
        call    mutex_unlock    #
        movq    $GlobalSMBSeslock, %rdi #,
        call    _write_lock     #
        movq    16(%rbx), %rdx  # <variable>.flist.next, D.47095

        movq    $2097664, 24(%rbx)      #, <variable>.flist.prev
        movq    (%rbx), %rdx    # <variable>.tlist.next, D.47099

which I think ends up being this code:

                mutex_unlock(&pSMBFile->lock_mutex);
        
                write_lock(&GlobalSMBSeslock);
                list_del(&pSMBFile->flist);   

ie 'pSMBFile->flist.next' looks to be zero. Either uninitialized or 
perhaps a use-after-free thing..

We have commit 90e4ee5d31 "[CIFS] Fix double list addition in cifs posix 
open code" that touches exactly that 'flist' thing, and removes the thing 
that adds it to the list because it's _claimed_ to be a "double add". It 
probably wasn't.

The bug reporter says:

> The machine is running kernel from git (1d80cac - almost rc6)

and that 1d80cac is _after_ 90e4ee5d31. So I do think 90e4ee5d31 is buggy.

Ok, I'm of two minds on this one.

The thing that triggers it is a module that is both a module _and_ 
compiled in (ie the same kernel compiled twice, and the stale module kept 
around). I can see how it happens, and we should react more gracefully to 
it, but at the same time I can't really bring myself to care deeply.

What is going on is that the cmos-rtc.c driver does this:

	#ifdef  CONFIG_PNP
	        pnp_register_driver(&cmos_pnp_driver);
	#endif

	        if (!cmos_rtc.dev)
	                retval = platform_driver_probe(&cmos_platform_driver,
                                               cmos_platform_probe);

	        if (retval == 0)
	                return 0;

	#ifdef  CONFIG_PNP
	        pnp_unregister_driver(&cmos_pnp_driver);
	#endif
	        return retval;

and what happens is that the pnp_register_driver fails when the module 
calls it (because the built-in driver already exists under the same name):

	[   10.428691] Error: Driver 'rtc_cmos' is already registered, aborting...

but the driver doesn't really care whether that succeeded or not, but then 
the platform_driver_probe fails (because the thing is already in use), so 
then it ends up unregistering something that never got registered in the 
first place.

I think this is strictly speaking a bug in driver_unregister(), which is 
too fragile. If you unregister a drivert that wasn't registered, we 
shouldn't oops. 

But we could certainly do it at the rtc-cmos.c level too, and just not 
unregister it if the registration failed. My gut feel is that we should 
aim for the core driver helpers to be less fragile, though - we'll always 
have driver bugs.

Greg?

In:
 driver_remove_file()
we try to access the private part:
 sysfs_remove_file(&drv->p->kobj, ...
and that is NULL, for an unregistered driver, I would expect.

I'm looking into it.

This makes the oops in the driver-core, caused by the rtc driver
unregister, go away. The original issue is also fixed in the rtc driver
itself.

Ok, fine so far, but look at "driver_register()".

It will set drv->p, but then not unset it if it fails! (For a certain 
class of failures)

So for a certain failure pattern, drv->p will point to some stale value. 
Should we not clear drv->p in the "out_unregister" patch?

To confuse the thing more, there are actually "half-way failures" that 
_succeed_ in driver registration, but then return an error code. See that 
whole


	kobject_uevent(&priv->kobj, KOBJ_ADD);
	return error;

case in the "success" path driver_register(). We may return an error 
despite the fact that we actually attached the driver to bus, but 
"add_bind_files()" failed. A caller would be understandable very unhappy.

So I suspect we should do something like the appended (in addition to your 
patch). Comments?

Yes, that's needed.  We also don't clean up properly when we do the same
thing for devices (error in the initialization of them).

So, here's a patch that combines everyone's intentions in this thread.
Any objections to it?

We also fix a problem with cleaning up properly when initializing

I think it would be reasonable to also emit a:

	 WARN_ONCE(1, "unexpected driver unregister!\n");

here - as long as all such cases are a bug. As the imbalance (and a 
bug) is really at the rtc-cmos driver level too and we should not 
condone such pattern, silently.

( Not crashing in the driver core when we can avoid it is nice to 
  have too, of course. )

Yeah, but that's the patch that I think isn't the long-term solution (ie 
other drievrs will do things like this too).

Also, I'm not 100% convinced it's even the right one for cmos-rtc, 
although I can't really judge. The thing is, even if the 
pnp_register_driver() call fails, I'm not at all sure that we shouldn't 
just continue. I suspect we might still want to do the 
platform_driver_probe regardless of any PnP issues.

I dunno. What I _do_ know is that I'd be happier of 

	pnp_register_driver(&driver);
	pnp_unregister_driver(&driver);

always worked without oopsing, regardless of whether the registration 
worked or not. Whether the rtc-cmos driver shold do that is then a 
secondary issue. 

The whole PnP thing has been broken several times, look for example at 
commit 72f22b1eb6ca5e4676a632a04d40d46cb61d4562. That one introduced the 
whole "do the platform driver regardless of any PnP driver issues", which 
makes me suspect we really shouldn't return early just because of some 
random pnp issue.

Jonathan, there's a side-issue reported there, us running out of 
lockdep space. Could you try this commit from -tip:

d80c19d: lockdep: increase MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES and MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS

(which i'll get to Linus in the next ~24 hours.) Maybe that allows 
lockdep to report the reason for the deadlock.

that crash is in reiserfs_for_each_xattr(), during sys_unlink()'s 
xattr teardown.

There's been a good deal of reiserfs changes in this cycle - some 
touch the xattr code as well. Some of them fairly late in the cycle, 
in the last two weeks:

 earth4:~/tip> gll v2.6.29..linus --since=two-weeks-ago fs/reiserfs/
 2a32ceb: Fix races around the access to ->s_options
 677c9b2: reiserfs: remove privroot hiding in lookup
 b82bb72: reiserfs: dont associate security.* with xattr files
 ab17c4f: reiserfs: fixup xattr_root caching
 edcc37a: Always lookup priv_root on reiserfs mount and keep it
 5a6059c: reiserfs: Expand i_mutex to enclose lookup_one_len

Martin, you could try a blind revert of say ... ab17c4f, which looks 
the most suspect and which is also a rather large commit.

Or/and you could try a bisect - perhaps accelerated via:

   git bisect start fs/reiserfs/

tainted crash, but probably legit. It does show some badness in an

looks like wireless related - the dependency that connects the

Oleg says in that thread that it's as-designed, and followup

But ... a relevant seeming commit has been bisected to so this 
shouldnt be ignored that easily.

I think there's a fix already for this in the works, but it hasn't been merged

I'd say Martin should try Jeff's pending patches before a revert or 
before starting a bisection.  Either apply them from 
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/17/6, or pull from
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git for-next
or wait for them to appear in Linus' tree...

I for one didn't test the post v2.6.30-rc5 changes to reiserfs, but I 
did try them _together_ with the four pending patches on a system with 
reiserfs root filesystem and extended attributes disabled in the config. 
Everything is fine here after almost a week uptime.

Yes, this bug is known and is fixed with "[patch 2/4] [PATCH] reiserfs:
deal with NULL xattr root w/ xattrs disabled"

It seems the crash has been rewritten by hand. I don't see
any cmd40x_init(), I guess it's about cmd640 chipset, then
cmd640x_init()

I don't see very recent changes in drivers/ide/cmd640.c
But there are some in drivers/ide/ide-io.c and drivers/ide/ide-cd.c
for this cycle.

Especially commit a1f9a89c90b4ac143c5b6054c2a157572b272cd2 which
fixed in -rc2:

 Kernel Fault: Code=26 regs=8ed34c40 (Addr=00000024)

     [<10116068>] intr_return+0x0/0x4

Looks very similar. But the crash reported in this ticket is for -rc4, which means the
issue was still there after this fix or it's another one.
Adding some more Cc's.

Frederic, is the oops reproducible?  Is 2.6.30-rc6 any better?

Does it help if you disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640?
(this system doesn't have CMD640 chipset)

No, you don't because its a via82cxxx chipset. I've CC'ed the bug

Sorry, I'm not the author of this bug report and I don't have this
hardware. I've just added you in Cc's :-)

But I'm adding the bug reporter in Cc.

Rob, could you test above Bartlomiej's suggestion?

Thanks,

Frederic.

Yes, I think this is false alarm. Perhaps I missed something, and
I am waiting for more info from Kumar, but it looks like ltp was
already changed to skip the "{ PTRACE_ATTACH, 1, EPERM }" test
on kernels after 2.6.25

Btw., why did the patch (and the revert) make any difference to the 
test? Timing differences look improbable.

Because before this series /sbin/init always ignored SIGSTOP. Now,
ptracer does PTRACE_ATTACH and exits without clearing the pending
SIGSTOP. init dequeues this signal and becomes TASK_STOPPED.

Consider:

	$ sleep 1000 &
	[1] 875

	$ grep State: /proc/`pidof sleep`/status
	State:  S (sleeping)

	$ perl -e 'syscall 101, 16, 0+shift, 0,0' `pidof sleep`    # just PTRACE_ATTACH + exit

	[1]+  Stopped                 sleep 1000

	$ grep State: /proc/`pidof sleep`/status
	State:  T (stopped)

This is the "normal" behaviour, afaics the same happens with init now.

It's the change from

	!signal_group_exit(signal)

to

	!sig_kernel_only(signr)

and quite frankly, I still don't see the point.

The comment seems to be wrong too:

    If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from a descendant of container-init they are
    never queued (i.e dropped in sig_ignored() in an earler patch).
    
    If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from parent namespace, the signal is queued
    and container-init processes the signal.

since the bug was that the SIGSTOP (from within the same container) was 
_not_ ignored like the comment says.

Previously,

	!signal_group_exit(signal)

meant: we do not know what should we do, let's ignore this signal.
Unless the multithreaded init does exec, in this case we should
respect SIGKILL.

With the recent changes, sig_kernel_only() means: we already checked
we should handle SIGKILL/SIGSTOP when this signal was queued.

Yes, the changelog could be better because it ignores ptrace issues. But
this was discussed,

>From http://marc.info/?t=123222433100001

	Yes we should handle SIGSTOP fine if it sent from the parent namespace.

	Also. Currently it is possible to ptrace the global init, but even
	ptracer can't stop it (but ptrace_stop() works). With these patches
	ptracer can stop init.

	I forgot to mention this behaviour change, imho this side-effect
	is good.

So, at least this change is not "by accident".

All the main details on this are on the freedesktop bugzilla[1]. I can
confirm it's still a problem and I've been tracking the intel-next
tree for testing.

Fundamentally the problem is that X can't allocate any memory when KMS
is enabled on my chipset. Without knowing how memory should be
allocated from the kernel by the X driver I haven't been able to look
into it deeper. I've had some feedback from the intel guys but nothing
recently.

As always I stand ready to run tests and/or provide additional
diagnostics if required.

This one really looks like a compiler bug (the undefined symbol is an 
internal gcc one: ".L192"). And the driver that gets it (kl5kusb105) has 
not actually had any changes since 2.6.29 - although header files that it 
includes obviously do have some, so it's entirely possible that some 
infrastructure change causes it to trigger.

Martin hit another bug with his compiler (an ICE in gcc, fixed by commit 
26a9a418237c0b06528941bca693c49c8d97edbe), which is why I'm so willing to 
blame that.

This one seems to have become "not-a-bug". Yes, LTP used to check that you 
cannot send SIGSTP to init, but people do want to send signals to init 
(especially when they are inside pid-namespace containers), and as long as 
it's only a LTP test that already got modified (and not some actual 
real-life usage), I'm considering this a "test failed because it was 
testing for behavior that we want to change" at least for now.

It may be worth tracking a possible regression introduced with -rc6 as a 
result of http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13259.

A new warning that was added in drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c 
(commit 4973b22a: 'ACPI processor: reset the throttling state once it's 
invalid') may be triggering in cases where it shouldn't. It seems to 
trigger during boot and on 'cat /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling'.
Otherwise it's probably relatively harmless.

See the comments starting at #23 for details.

[Bug #13318] AGP doesn't work anymore on nforce2

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

of recent regressions.

The following bug entry is on the current list of known regressions
from 2.6.29.  Please verify if it still should be listed and let me know
(either way).

2.6.31-rc1-git3: Reported regressions 2.6.29 -> 2.6.30

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

[NOTES:
 * I hope you notice the jump of the number of reported regressions after 2.6.30
   was released.
 * Please let me know which of these bugs have been fixed already (ideally
   please also provide the name of the fix commit).
 * The post-2.6.30 reports were flooded by the megre window noise that made
   them very difficult to track.]

This message contains a list of some regressions introduced between 2.6.29 and
2.6.30, 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 introduced between 2.6.29
and 2.6.30, 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.

Re: [Bug #13318] AGP doesn't work anymore on nforce2

[Karsten Mehrhoff]

Hi all,

Today i compilied the new kernel 2.6.31 and everything works ok.
Maybe it's related to other changes in the generic.c file.

So everything works ok for me with AGP in 2.6.31.
I do not get the problem like it was in 2.6.30.x


2.6.31:
