2010-01-16 Thread Nicolas Parpandet
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-19lenny2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

On infiniband kernel 2.6.32-trunk-686 from debian,
 /sys/class/net/ib0/mode is missing to toggle infiniband connected mode
it is usefull to size up MTU to boost IPoIB network traffic performance,
Can you please add CONFIG_INFINIBAND_IPOIB_CM=y to default kernel ?

Regards.

Nicolas

Re: [Users] New Kernel Patch

 currently (January 2010) mainline is in development for the .33 release,

 From what it looks now Debian and Ubuntu are going into freeze for their
 next stable release in March 2010. Will there be an up-to-date OpenVZ
 kernel patch available by then? Debian is targeting to ship .32 with
 their next stable release called squeeze.
 
 In case OpenVZ will not be available on at least one of the major Linux
 distributions and its offsprings, no need to mention how horrid that
 would be ...

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/10/msg3.html said
OpenVZ will remain supported, but
and http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/08/msg00233.html had
previously went unanswered and I don't see anything new at
http://packages.debian.org/linux-image-2.6-openvz-686

I'm thinking the most usable compromise would be if someone volunteered to
maintain the Debian packages of the actual kernel stable release 2.6.27 -
where the meaning of stable more closely corresponds to the Debian
stable release concept. For off-the-shelf usage, mainline releases can
satisfy the same definition, but for corner cases it's doubtful because
they tend to move too fast for people to track them reliably.

I have to mention that Xen has a similar problem - there are XCI 2.6.27
patches which seem to be maintained, whereas it's doubtful anyone really
wants to continue forward-porting the old branch to .32. Xen upstream do
have an advanced paravirt_ops dom0 branch (it's much further along than LXC
vs. OpenVZ, judging by the LXC description in this thread), but it would
still be a regression compared to the old branch for some people who use
some of those still-unimplemented features, so it's not a drop-in
replacement yet.

I'm Cc:ing Adrian Bunk - given that you initated the marking of .27 as
the real stable, and Greg KH is still maintaining .27 upstream, I can't
help but wonder if you might be willing to maintain those packages? :)

Also Cc:'ing the debian-kernel mailing list.

Bug#534880: Same problem here

2010-01-16 Thread Ludovic Gasc
Hi Everybody,

I confirm this bug on three different servers, with amd64 architecture.
I've updated all dom0 and domU with linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 2.6.26-20 
and reboot the servers at 2009-12-20.

Since this upgrade, we already have two domU in unresponsive state, with the 
same behaviour in this bug report (ssh, ping, xm console, etc...)

Each time I've added a domU with vcpu  1 on a physical server, the time 
between each unresponsive state is reduced.

I've posted a bug report on the Xen's bugzilla: 
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1564

We don't have Xen development skills, but we can recompile our kernels with 
some options to generate a backtrace.

Yours.

That's the problem. The ext4 module *would* have been included if you'd 
selected the standard initrd.

 Going into rescue mode, I could not find any way to revert to a full
 initrd. 

Just edit the initramfs-tools configuration file in /etc for the installed 
system to use 'MODULES=most' and then regenerate the initrd (see 'man 
update-initramfs').

 I could not see any bug about this against linux-image-2.6.30-2-686. I
 assume it generates initrd?

No, the package is initramfs-tools. Not sure that it is a bug though.
I'm reassigning your report because maybe initramfs-tools should be 
detecting that ext4 is needed in this case. We'll let its maintainer 
decide.

 So it seems that while the installer supports ext4, the installed target
 system initrd does not.

Only because you used an expert option without knowing the consequences or 
knowing how to fix it. You really should have stuck to the default!

 So I guess that I will have to compile my own kernel on the target and
 then change to ext4 via the rescue mode (it's the root partition) later.

That's absolutely not necessary. You only need to get ext4 included in the 
initrd.

Cheers,
FJP

 That's the problem. The ext4 module *would* have been included if you'd

I cannot reproduce the problem though. If I install a system with an ext4 
root file system and MODULES=dep for initramfs-tools, the ext4 module gets 
correctly included in the initrd and the installed system boots fine.

I wonder if the issue isn't caused by the initial problems you had with 
your SSD.

Didn't he say that he installed Debian and *then* converted the disk
to ext4.  This would explain why the ext4 module is not included - the
disk wasn't ext4 when the ramdisk was generated.

Can you confirm that this the case?
