Linux 2.6.3-rc1

Linux 2.6.3-rc1

[Linus Torvalds]

Ok, this is another big merge of a number of pending patches, although to 
some degree the patches have now moved "outwards" from the core, and most 
of them are in driver land.

There's a lot of network driver updates (have been in -mm and Jeff's 
testing trees for a while), and Al Viro has been fixing up not just 
network drivers, but also cursing over parport interfaces ;)

Andrew's patches are all over, from fixing warnings with new versions of
gcc to merging things like the ppc updates he had in his tree, and 
everything in between.

On and a big ALSA update, along with SCSI updates (big qla update, for
example).

So let's calm down and make sure all the updates are ok.

		Linus

One note: please, please, let's put a moratorium on sysfs-related patches
that didn't go through review.  We are just getting netdev situation in
the main tree under control.  It took nearly half a year (if not more).
And now we've got *exact* *copy* of the change that had started that mess -
this time in fbdev.  Sure, there's fewer fbdev drivers, so it shouldn't
take that long.  But then it's not 2.5 anymore...

If you are doing any sysfs integration - *fix* *lifetime* *rules* *first*.
You can do that in a way that will avoid breakage or need to revisit the
drivers when kobjects get embedded - just have your my_subsystem_release()
defined as kfree() and on the last step replace its body with kobject_put(),
moving the actual freeing into ->release().

Even if you are sure that you can fix all drivers in one go, there's no
need to turn the entire series into "must merge at once" monster - if nothing
else, reordering it that way will make testing easier.  Sigh...

pdc202xx_old OOPS's on load in case of completely modular IDE (core and 
pci ide drivers). I have yet to capture the OOPS, as someone has just 
ran away with the one serial cable over here.

If we're lucky Bart knows what's missing without the trace ( :-) ! ). If 
not, I'll see if I can get netconsole up and running.

There appears to be a lot of developer activity concentrated on getting
sysfs support in various parts of the kernel, and this inevitably leads to
a reworking of kernel object lifetime rules.  I have to wonder if making
these lifetime changes is really a good idea.

Sysfs appears to be mainly used for exporting various adhoc pieces of
information and occasionally for getting various tuning input.  This
functionality is generally ancillary to the main purpose of the
subsystems/drivers that use sysfs.  It seems backward to me that the
lifetime rules of an object should be dominated by this ancillary
functionality.

So, my question - is it really a good idea to rework much of the kernel
object lifetime rules just to support sysfs?

And a related question - couldn't sysfs be taught to atomically drop its
references to external kernel objects and thus obviate the need for all
these lifetime rule changes?

At this point in time, in the stable kernel series, I say no.

That is why I created the class_simple interface, which allows
developers to be able to export data through sysfs (like the dev_t
data), without having to change their lifetime rules at all.

Now when 2.7 starts up again, that's the proper time to be changing this
kind of stuff to work "properly".  Until then, lets just live with the
lifetime rules that we have (if they work, and almost all of them seem
to).

And remember, I'm the person who really _wants_ to see all of this stuff
fixed up properly...

See the class_simple code for an example of how this can be done.  It's
not a sysfs issue.  It's an issue of how you _use_ sysfs :)

Hmm. Netconsole just hangs my kernel, probably due to me mis-merging it 
into  2.6.3-rc1. So here it is, the pen and paper version :-)

It is somewhat shortened, if you need more information from the oops, 
ask and I'll see what I can do.

Now I get this compiler warning:

And now these are in, I can finally send the 4 patches to convert the Amiga

Do you load any other IDE host modules before pdc202xx_old?

Can you disassemble ide_pci_register_host_proc using gdb?

Yes, pdc202xx_new

_old is for the onboard pdc, and _new for the just installed TX-2.

it also tries to load hpt34x and hpt366 first, but the machine does not 
have any hpt hardware in it, so it shouldn't matter.

I'd need a walkthrough, not very familiar with gdb other than getting a 
backtrace out of it

The kernel is compiled with gcc version 3.3.2 in Debian Sarge/Testing.

Make sure to enable following options in kernel config:
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL ("Kernel hacking"->"Kernel debugging" ) and
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO ("Kernel debugging"->"Compile the kernel with debug info").

Recompile kernel.

$ gdb /usr/src/linux/vmlinux
(gdb) disassemble ide_pci_register_host_proc

That's all :-).

> End of assembler dump.

Ok thanks, I got the same dump.  I think the problem is that memory used by
previously registered ide_pci_host_proc_list entry (for pdc202xx_new driver)
is already unmapped because of __initdata in pdc202xx_new.h.
(This doesn't happen in built-in case because this memory is freed after
all drivers are initialized.)

Does this patch help?

 - Go to the directory you compiled the kernel in
 - do: gdb vmlinux
 - you're in gdb, now do: 'x/i ide_pci_register_host_proc' This will
   disassemble starting at ide_pci_register_host_proc, and needs (I
   believe) debugging symbols present ... well, try it, and if gdb
   complains that it can't, that's that
 - Keep entering "x/i"; this will make gdb keep disassembling the next
   instruction. Keep doing this until you're past
   <ide_pci_register_host_proc+0x27>, I assume.
 - to get out of gdb, hit ^D or type "quit"

Ahh, indeed it does, _but_

pdc202xx_old seems to have the same bug, making via82cxxx crash later on 
instead.

Doing the same change to pdc202xx_old.h (removing __initdata) fixes this 
case too :-)

What about others?

./pdc202xx_old.h:static ide_pci_host_proc_t pdc202xx_procs[] = {

all these __initdata (one __devinitdata) should also be removed?

Yes, __initdata needs to be removed from every ide_pci_proc_host_t.
I will make a patch and submit it to Linus.

Thanks!

Yes.  Patch should be already in Linus' mailbox.
