This is a gcc-4.5 issue. Whether it's also something that we should
change in the kernel is unclear, but at least as of now, the rule is
that you cannot compile the kernel with gcc-4.5. No idea whether the
compiler is just entirely broken, or whether it's just that it
triggers something iffy by being overly clever.

I'm not entirely sure if these RCU proving things should count as regressions.

Sure, the option to enable RCU proving is new, but the things it
reports about generally are not new - and they are usually not even
bugs in the sense that they necessarily cause any real problems.

That particular one is in the single-thread optimizated case for fget_light, ie

        if (likely((atomic_read(&files->count) == 1))) {
                file = fcheck_files(files, fd);

where I think it should be entirely safe in all ways without any
locking. So I think it's a false positive too.

Frederic? Al? I assume this is some late fallout from the BKL removal
ages ago.. It's the old filldir-vs-mmap crud, but normally it should
be impossible to trigger because the inode for a directory should
never be mmap'able, so we should never have the same i_mutex lock used
for both mmap and for filldir protection.

We saw some of that oddity long ago, I wonder if it's lockdep being
confused about some inodes.

This either got fixed, or will be practically impossible to debug. The
reporter ends up being unable to reproduce the issue.

This seems to be due to CONFIG_MRST (Moorestown).

There's a suggested patch in

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127862524404291&w=2

but no reply to it yet.

This seems to be partly a confusion about what "load average" is. It's
not a CPU load, it's a system load average, and disk-wait processes
count towards it. He has some problem with his CD-ROM, and it sounds
like it might be hardware on the verge of going bad.

I wonder if this is the writeback problem. That POWER crash dump is
unreadable, so it's hard to tell, but the load in question makes that
at least likely.

If so, it should hopefully be fixed in today's git (commit
83ba7b071f30f7c01f72518ad72d5cd203c27502 and friends).

See earlier about these being marked as regressions, but it should be
fixed by commit dc61b1d6 ("sched: Fix PROVE_RCU vs cpu_cgroup").

I'm pretty sure this was fixed by Nick in commit 57439f878afa ("fs:

This has "I have a fix, will post it very soon." in the thread from
Frederic, but I'm not seeing anything else. Frederic?

Ok, this is definitely harmless. Whether we should silence the warning
somehow is a separate question.

This has a butt-ugly suggested patch that certainly won't be applied.
I saw the thread, but lost sight of it. Jesse, did that end up with
some resolution?

I dunno. Old, and apparently seen by two people. Dave?

Might be helped by bisection.

Another RCU proving thing.  And this one looks the same as the 16323
one above, and fixed by the same commit as that one.

Hmm. That one is the vt.c bug coupled with another problem, which in
turn got opened as a separate bugzilla entry:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16252

which in turn then got closed. I dunno.

Not a regression or a kernel bug at all. See the thread. Big ramdisk
filled up all of memory when it was filled by the builds.

This is not a regression. See the full bugzilla details. The same
problem persists at least back to 2.6.30 with his config. So it's
somehow specific to his particular config use that requires "notsc" to
boot.

This looks like a duplicate of that 16312 bugzilla entry. Jens, has
this been resolved?
