Package: src:linux Version: 3.16.7-ckt7-1 Severity: grave Tags: upstream Hi folks,
We've upgraded a couple of our Marvell Armada XP based (armel/armhf) buildd machines to Jessie, and they've almost immediately fallen over with symptoms of really bad data corruption. On further investigation and discussion with some of the upstream maintainers for this hardware, this is a known issue with I/O coherency and there are patches available for testing: * 8f1e8ee28660018a935c7576b9af8ffe1feab54c is a patch to disable coherency for now, and * http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-March/330104.html is a second patch needed too (do not register custom DMA operations when coherency is disabled) I'm just doing a local build right now with these patches applied so I can test. More news ASAP. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
