Bug#683167: Attempting to start X with intel driver hangs system

 2.6.32 has never heard of this GPU, so the i915 module doesn't
 initialize. The X server exits immediately, saying no device was
 found, but doesn't crash. The kernel panics on trying to reboot, but
 the stack trace shows a bunch of EFI-related functions, so it's
 probably unrelated.

I see, thanks.

Support for this GPU seems to have been added by

  cc22a938fc1d drm/i915: add Ivy Bridge GT2 Server entries

which was merged in 3.4-rc2.

[...]
 This is on an Ivy Bridge Xeon E3 with GPU. I thought it was the X
 driver, because i915 KMS works fine for the console, it only crashes
 when trying to bring up X. But I pulled in the 2.20.2 driver today and
 it still happens. So I now think the problem is in the kernel.

Can you get a trace of the crash using a serial console[1] or
netconsole[2]?

If so, please report this to bugs.freedesktop.org, following
instructions from http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html;,
and let us know the bug number so we can track it.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan

Bug#683726: closed by Julien Cristau jcris...@debian.org (Re: Bug#683726: additional info)

2012-08-04 Thread Nicola Manini

I will remove the nvidia driver and retest everything under nouveau.
However I have little hope that it will work, since prior to installing 
nvidia I had tested nouveau extensively: suspend-resume had never worked 
under the open-source driver.


This bug is quite likely related to the graphic card restarting into a broken 
state, and this of course due to the nvidia driver, except it used to work 
fine with the previous kernel revision, so apparently it is some change in 
the kernel which causes a regression in this interaction.


If anything interesting turns out with the nouveau driver, I'll report it here.

Best,
Nick

 Given that there is a package in the BTS for the closed nvidia driver,
 wouldn't an appropriate response be to ask for bugscript output for
 that and reassign?
 
I don't think so.  I don't know if the submitter used the nvidia driver
from the debian package or from nvidia's installer, and in any case the
issue doesn't come from the driver's packaging but from its code, which
we both can't see and don't have permission to modify.  Plus, I'm not
particularly interested in spending time chasing closed driver bugs.

Byte queue limits in Linux for wheezy / linux kernel ABI bumps

2012-08-04 Thread Cyril Brulebois
Hi Ben,

Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk (03/08/2012):
 Byte queue limits (BQL) are an important step in reducing 'bufferbloat'
 and network latency on Linux.  The feature was introduced in Linux 3.3
 and has had a few bug fixes since then; I think it can be considered
 stable now.  It requires specific support in drivers and is then
 unconditionally enabled for them.  It provides some tuning parameters,
 but should not normally require these to be changed.

thanks for the background.

 I have prepared a backport of this to Linux 3.2 that I would like to
 include in wheezy, but I ran out of time to do that before the freeze.
 Since BQL is a new feature, it would not normally be allowed to make such
 a change now.  However, it may also be considered an important fix for
 performance problems (high network latency).  Therefore I am requesting a
 freeze exception in category 5, pre-approved fixes.  I believe it can
 be easily backed-out in case it causes regressions.

That looks good to me.

 BQL requires an ABI change, but so do some of the fixes in Linux 3.2.25,
 so the next upload will have an ABI bump in any case.


[ Hijacking the subject a bit, adding -boot@ ]

That's one of the things I wanted to spend a little time on, while getting
back to the block-udeb-ified packages.

Now that d-i wheezy beta1 is finally out, I'll try and figure out what
exactly breaks in d-i when the linux kernelgets its ABI bumped. Apparently
netboot and mini.iso are concerned, but it would be nice to have that
checked, and documented.

Maybe we could just have a way to prevent some udebs from being decrufted?

Now, for other images, maybe we should just perform a debian-installer
upload, tweaking the linux ABI bits, each time we let a new linux ABI into
testing. Getting that debian-installer into testing would ensure weekly
builds work properly, even if no {alpha,beta,rc} are planned when that
migration happens.


Mraw,
KiBi.

AFAIK, all images that download udebs from the archive can break with
any kernel migration to testing, because they'd get modules newer than
the kernel (without an ABI bump).

In case of ABI bumps, where the old udebs go away, these same images
won't be able to download the modules, so they'll break.

I got netconsole working, and some messages came through (I replugged
a USB device to trigger some), but nothing when it crashes. I don't
have the cabling here for serial (it's only a pinheader on this
board), but I could get it next week if that's what it takes.

If you try to use genorig on a version with a modifier (like ~rc1), it will
fail because self.linux_upstream_full will be equal to the short version
rather than version-modifier.

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.0.0-6
Severity: normal

Several times a day, the UI freezes for a few seconds. This can happen
when I'm working in an xterm or with Iceweasel. During this time, the
disk LED is on. Note that the disk is encrypted.

I also had this problem with the version 3.0.0-5 of this kernel package.
I reverted to 2.6.38-2-amd64 between Oct 30 and Nov 4, and didn't notice
this problem with it (the disk accesses seemed to be sometimes slower,
but I'm not sure; however the UI never froze). So, it seems to be a
regression.

OK, so this a different problem.

Since this regression occurred between 3.2.19-1 and 3.2.23-1, can you
bisect through the intermediate versions available from
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/:

1. Test version 3.2.21-2
2. If it has this bug, test an earlier version, otherwise test a later
version.
3. Repeat if necessary to identify the first buggy version.

Also, please test 3.5-1~experimental.1 (from the experimental suite) to
see whether this has been fixed upstream.

Ben.

 Did you mean this to be a private reply?

 Confusingly enough, 3.2.0-2-amd64 is part of the name of the
 kernel package rather than its version number.  You can get the
 version number for the installed kernel with

  dpkg-query -W linux-image-$(uname -r)

 or for the running kernel by looking in the parentheses of

  cat /proc/version

 See http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-versions.html
 for details.



Bug#683167: Attempting to start X with intel driver hangs system

 I got netconsole working, and some messages came through (I replugged
 a USB device to trigger some), but nothing when it crashes.

Ok, thanks.  Please attach a full log from netconsole from booting and
reproducing the problem.  (It's ok if it doesn't say anything
interesting at the crucial moment.)

If you can get the corresponding Xorg log, that would be interesting,
too.

Hope that helps,

  netboot and mini.iso are concerned, but it would be nice to have that
  checked, and documented.
  
 AFAIK, all images that download udebs from the archive can break with
 any kernel migration to testing, because they'd get modules newer than
 the kernel (without an ABI bump).

This often works, but is certainly not guaranteed to (we would need a
lot more ABI bumps if we considered added symbols).

A possible solution would be something like:
1. Keep multiple versions of udebs in the same suite (currently possible
for arch:all, but maybe not supported for arch-dependent packages)
2. Make kernel-wedge add versioned dependencies to the udebs
3. Make anna assume that kernel-image is not upgradeable
4. Make anna try older package versions if dependencies can't be reolved
for the newest version

Steps 1 and 4 may be rather hard.

 In case of ABI bumps, where the old udebs go away, these same images
 won't be able to download the modules, so they'll break.

But that seems to be more easily fixed by holding off decrufting.

Ben.

 2.6.32 has never heard of this GPU, so the i915 module doesn't
 initialize. The X server exits immediately, saying no device was
 found, but doesn't crash. The kernel panics on trying to reboot, but
 the stack trace shows a bunch of EFI-related functions, so it's
 probably unrelated.

That's possibly the same bug as #626022.  I have seen the same problem
on one of my own systems and investigated a little way, but didn't reach

I'd also built the 3.4.7 kernel from the sources at kernel.org.  This 
kernel worked okay for me without the pcie_aspm=force option.  Not sure 
why I didn't try the 3.4.4 kernel that was in experimental at the time.


I've read about a number of people having this issue thru the 3.3 
kernels with various distros, and read the issue was supposedly fixed in 
the 3.4 branch.  I get the impression it's an upstream issue.

 System also runs fine under knoppix, so it does not seem to be hardware

 Do you have an nvidia card in that machine?

 http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg48977.html
 shows the same error from the nouveau driver on 2.6.32 kernel on an older
 nvidia card.  So same kernel version squeeze uses.

 Lenny would not have used nouveau.

 Len, you nailed it.  I'm surprised that my web searches didn't turn
 anything up.  I searched everywhere wit that log entry information,
 and got nothing.

 Thank you for being so quick nab this.  Not a bug after all.

Well, it sounds like it was a bug to me. ;-)

Now I'm curious: are you still using this hardware?  If so, what kernel
do you use these days, and how does it act?

If the problem is still present in current squeeze kernels, it would
be useful to find a fix and backport it.  If the problem is still
present in 3.5 from experimental, we should take this upstream.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan

 The intel AHCI SATA controller above on the other hand is supported

Thanks much for tracking that down.

This sysctl is defined as read-only.  You need to run something like

But a last question for information, I read on the internet that 
recompiling the kernel with particular options could allow the kernel to 
manage multicast forwarding is it correct ? If it is correct why was it 
decided to not add it to the debian linux kernel ?

There is an option to enable multicast routing, which is enabled.  But
you still need the userspace routing daemon to configure it, as it's
more complicated than just flicking a switch.
