 Hello,
 
 
 Please enable the support for the Intel Sandy-Bridge memory controller
 for EDAC so we can take advantage of ECC ram modules on this platform.

As you may know, EDAC is not required for ECC.  It does improve error
reporting and helps you to identify faulty modules.

 Just set CONFIG_EDAC_SBRIDGE=m in the .config

The driver is marked as experimental and there are several important bug
fixes post-3.2.  If we enable it, we also need to apply those bug fixes
and possibly others.

Ben.

Thank you; I didn't realize this had already been fixed upstream.

stable/linux-3.2.y was v3.2.13 = 02905906ddc049720ded93ded03bbc2652f4646a.
That version has the bug; acer-wmi blocks WLAN on my VAIO as reported.
Cherry-picking 5719b81988f3c24ff694dc3a37e35b35630a3966 fixes it.
I deviated from your instructions by not using -s in git cherry-pick.

 I bet this is due to the combination of LRO plus bridging.  We try to
 turn off LRO in devices under a bridge, but that won't work if there's
 an intermediate bonding device.
 
 If you run:
 
 # ethtool -K eth0 lro off
 # ethtool -K eth2 lro off
 
 does the bridge start working?

Err...

% sudo ethtool -K eth0 lro off
Cannot set large receive offload settings: Operation not supported

That's with eth0 removed from bonding, and eth2 inside.

Bug#665881: [3.1 - 3.2.12 regression] module ath5k is blocking wlan-card

2012-04-01 Thread Hans-J. Ullrich
Made some new tests!

When the wlan-hardware is set by the kernel, also Windows-XP will not see the 
card. 

So it is proven: The kernel is setting my wlancard into some mode, which can 
only be reset, when I take completely the power off the notebook.

Reinitialisation through a reboot or by reloading the kernel-module does not 
work.

Can I 'fool' the uname command??

Okay - I am attempting to compile on a shared (virtual host) machine

When I use the uname -a command, it displays the following:

 This package depends on packages containing the sources of the latest
 Linux kernel.

So, to build this software package that I need - I need to convince the
compiler that these are my kernel sources.

Any simple way to do this? I don't want to mess with environment variables,
I just want to get the software built.

Any helpful hints would be much appreciated.

2012-04-01 Thread Ben Hutchings
In general, you can 'fool' the uname command (with LD_PRELOAD) but it
probably won't solve the problem.

What does it need from the kernel source?  You certainly can't build a
useful kernel module this way (nor would you be permitted to load it
anyway).

Bug#659363: Hibernate freezes on HP dc7900 with Linux 3.2 (regression)

2012-04-01 Thread Udo Richter
It seems I am seeing the same bug too, on
linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae, 3.2.4-1~bpo60+1. However, I'm on an
nVidia nForce 570 chipset (AMD A64-x2), esp. using the sata_nv driver.

About half of the hibernate-disk cycles do work, the other half starts
writing the image to some point just normally, but after a few seconds
the disk writer gets extremely slow (around 1% per minute), and after
some more minutes, the kernel throws page allocation failures:

 It seems I am seeing the same bug too

Please test the attached patch[2], for example by following the following
instructions:

0. Prerequisites.

apt-get install git build-essential

1. Get a copy of the kernel history if you don't already have it.

git clone \
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

2. Fetch point releases.

cd linux
git remote add -f stable \
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

3. Configure, build, and test.

cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -jnum for parallel build
dpkg -i ../name of package; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...

4. Hopefully it reproduces the bug.  Try the patch:

git am -3sc path to patch
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../name of package; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...

An alternative method for testing patches is described at [1].

Hope that helps,
Jonathan

Subject: Hibernation: lower/better control the amount of pages used for buffering

Hibernation/thaw improvements:

1. Set maximum number of pages for read buffering consistently, instead
of inadvertently depending on the size of the sector type.

2. Use at most one quarter of free pages for read buffering.

3. Require that number of free pages when writing the image never falls
below three quarters of total free pages available.

Bug#584881: Lockups under heavy disk IO; md (RAID) resync/check implicated

2012-04-01 Thread Ben Hutchings
There is a change in Linux 3.3, also intended to go into Linux 3.2.14,
which looks like a fix for bug #584881.

I'm attaching a backported version of this bug fix for Debian 6.0
'squeeze', which you may wish to test.  You can build a kernel package
with this patch by following the instructions at
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official.

Note that no further bug fixes will be made in Debian 5.0 'lenny'.

Ben.

Subject: [PATCH] md/raid1,raid10: avoid deadlock during resync/recovery.

commit d6b42dcb995e6acd7cc276774e751ffc9f0ef4bf upstream.

If RAID1 or RAID10 is used under LVM or some other stacking
block device, it is possible to enter a deadlock during
resync or recovery.
This can happen if the upper level block device creates
two requests to the RAID1 or RAID10.  The first request gets
processed, blocks recovery and queue requests for underlying
requests in current-bio_list.  A resync request then starts
which will wait for those requests and block new IO.

But then the second request to the RAID1/10 will be attempted
and it cannot progress until the resync request completes,
which cannot progress until the underlying device requests complete,
which are on a queue behind that second request.

So allow that second request to proceed even though there is
a resync request about to start.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

Bug#665881: not Debian-specific

2012-04-01 Thread Steve Graham
I have just compiled a custom 3.3.0 kernel for an Acer netbook, previously running 3.0.0, and see 
the same problem as reported by Hans. In my case, after 36 hours of uptime with the new kernel, the 
ath5k began to report constant gain calibration timeout errors and connectivity was lost.


Rebooting with the previous kernel without powering off did not restore wireless connectivity. The 
old ath5k was reporting gain calibration timeout too. Powering off and on, and booting the old 3.0 
kernel seems to have restored correct functionality.


Just to be clear, both kernels are compiled from source from kernel.org, not 
Debian builds.

Steve

 - precise steps to reproduce, expected result, actual result, and how
   the difference indicates a bug (should be simple in this case)
 - how reproducible and how quickly reproducible it is (e.g., within
   5 hours 50% of the time?)
 - which kernel versions you have tested and what happened with each
 - full dmesg output from a working and a non-working boot, as
   attachments
 - a pointer to http://bugs.debian.org/665881 for the backstory
 - any workarounds or other weird observations

Hopefully someone upstream may have ideas for commands or patches to
try in order to narrow down the problem.

Sorry - my mistake.

I need to build Vicidial installation on a Dreamhost server.

So, the Makefile is looking for the kernel sources/headers and since it is
a virtual host, I had to grab some headers/sources to
build dependent software.

This seems to be more trouble - I am going to dig and see if there are some
binaries that I can download.

If this doesn't work, I think I am going to build it all on a local VM and
tweak it to run on my Dreamhost machine.

That may be the route I need to take - would rather do it all in one place,
but that may not happen.

Bug#661318: Possibility integrating newer Hyper-V paravirt drivers in squeeze?

2012-04-01 Thread Jonathan Nieder
Hi,

Mathieu Simon wrote:

 But I'm not fully sure about your answer, if I understood you correctly
 this means
 cherry-picking every single related patch from 3.4-rcX to 3.2.(12) let's
 say from gregkh. - Right?

I suppose my answer was less helpful than it could have been. :)
Patches in the Debian kernel repository look like this:

  http://svn.debian.org/viewvc/kernel/dists/sid/linux-2.6/debian/patches/

The baseline for the current sid kernel is gregkh's 3.2.y kernel.
When patches meet the criteria described in 
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt,
we can get them applied to 3.2.y and share their maintenance with
others (no patch in the kernel repository needed in that case).

For miscellaneous fixes not in the -stable tree, all that is needed is
a list of commit ids corresponding to patches' appearance in linus's
master or some tree that feeds into it.  Driver backports are also
often treated this way, and it's probably the right thing to do for
your case.

I do not think one big patch is ever acceptable for this, since it
would make it way too hard to back out one patch while debugging.

However, in theory it is even better (maybe the kernel team is
happiest was a stretch) if a maintained version of the driver
backport can be shared between distros and others using the same basic
kernel/driver version combination.  This is roughly speaking the way
graphics drivers are maintained in squeeze: there is a
linux-2.6.32.y-drm33.z tree that keeps track of fixes that were
discovered to keep the graphics drivers from Linux 2.6.33.y working
well against a 2.6.32.y kernel.  That is fussy work and a long-term
commitment, so it was probably not the best answer to what does
Debian prefer.

Upshot: if you send a list of relevant commit ids for commits that
are not in 3.2.y, that's a good start, and we can try applying them
and go from there.  (If it's just the list output by

git log --no-merges --oneline v3.2..origin/master \
-- drivers/hv drivers/staging/hv

then the kernel team could just use that, but I think you mentioned
needing a few more.)

Thanks much and sorry for the lack of clarity.
Jonathan

Bug#666781: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: can't mount cdrom (/dev/sr0)

 The device in question is SATA - this is very similar to bug#583949 that's one
 of the reasons I went ahead and filed.
 Attached are the files you requested
 /var/log/dmesg and contents of /proc/partitions.

From /var/log/dmesg I can see that the DVD writer was detected at boot
time:

 [1.838947] sr 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0

But the device is not available in the kernel now:

80  244198584 sda
811073152 sda1
82  1 sda2

8   22   78124032 sdb6
8   23   78083072 sdb7

So there must have been some error that caused it to be disabled.

 I have the kernel log if you need it.
 Thanks for your assistance.

Yes, please look for any messages about ata1, scsi0 or sr0.

 Regression? I am not sure. The device has proven it worked in the past I am
 not quite certain how long... IT worked great under lenny. I had to replace
 the motherboard a few months back and loaded squeeze from scratch. This is
 the first time I needed to burn something or use it since. 
[...]

So this is a regression but not necessarily recent (in terms of kernel
versions).

Dear Maintainer,

I upgraded from 3.2.0-1 to 3.2.0-2 in unstable however the 3.2.0-2 kernel
panics immediately after booting.  3.2.0-1 kernel still works.  I also
installed 3.3.0-rc6 from experimental and it boots (wireless doesn't connect
but that's another bug...)  Unfortunately, since it panics so early in the boot
I don't know how to give you more information.

 Hello Joey
 
 Yes, i'm sure the partition is big enough.
 The size of the root partition is about 10GB.

There were a large number of bug fixes to btrfs in Linux 3.2, including
several relating to the sort of bug (failure to reserve space) that will
trigger this warning.

So I would suggest re-testing with the current daily installer.

As I think I mentioned before, pice_aspm=off doesn't seem to help much for me.
I still get wireless failure after a day or two, although they seem to be more
often correlated with resuming from suspend.

But here you're trying to build the DAHDI drivers, which I think must be

Hmm.  Well it shouldn't be a problem but you could try also turning off
GRO (similar commands).

 That's with eth0 removed from bonding, and eth2 inside.

So the bonding device has only one slave now?

What if you take the bonding device out completely and add eth2 directly
to the bridge?

 I suppose my answer was less helpful than it could have been. :)
Thanks Jonathan for enlightening me, now I was able to understand :)

 The baseline for the current sid kernel is gregkh's 3.2.y kernel.
 When patches meet the criteria described in 
 Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt,
Ok, they don't apply to these rules, otherwise they would have been
applied upstream in Greg's tree.
 [...]
 For miscellaneous fixes not in the -stable tree, all that is needed is
 a list of commit ids corresponding to patches' appearance in linus's
 master or some tree that feeds into it.  Driver backports are also
 often treated this way, and it's probably the right thing to do for
 your case.
I'd say this criteria is matching.
 [...]

 Upshot: if you send a list of relevant commit ids for commits that
 are not in 3.2.y, that's a good start, and we can try applying them
 and go from there.  (If it's just the list output by

   git log --no-merges --oneline v3.2..origin/master \
   -- drivers/hv drivers/staging/hv

 then the kernel team could just use that, but I think you mentioned
 needing a few more.)
Yeah a few more, but a helpful command to get started!
 Thanks much and sorry for the lack of clarity.
I keep learning, thank you!

Here it goes: To get a working set of Hyper-V drivers and utils to,
present in 3.4 we need to observe:

drivers/staging/hv
drivers/hv
drivers/scsi/storvsc*
drivers/net/hyperv
drivers/hid/hid-hyperv*
tools/hv/
include/linux/hyperv.h

The merge window is now closed by time of writing this message.

In a follow-up I'll send a list of commit ids - and the order to get
them applied in a way we don't run into merge conflicts :-)
