 Dear Maintainer,
 
 this error occur by random, but then it persists until reboot.
 Every time our backup server creates, mounts, unmounts and destroy 
 an lvm snapshot from the local XFS volume the gap between 'tail_bytes' 
 and 'GH   bytes' increases by 8 bytes. It seems to be a known xfs bug 
 fixed by this patch:
 
 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/3948659e30808fbaa7673bbe89de2ae9769e20a7

I've queued this up for Linux 3.2.y and it will be reviewed by the XFS
maintainers before inclusion in Debian stable.

Ben.

Bug#738487: hppa patch for ATI FireGL in C8000 workstation

2014-02-09 Thread Helge Deller

Package: linux
Version: 3.13
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

this is a follow-up to bug 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721191
In that bugzilla I originally asked to add the following config entries to 
./debian/config/hppa/config.parisc64-smp:

+# and for ATI FireGL DRM in C8000 workstation
+CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
+CONFIG_AGP=y
+CONFIG_AGP_PARISC=y
+CONFIG_VGA_ARB=y
+CONFIG_VGA_ARB_MAX_GPUS=16
+CONFIG_DRM=y
+CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
+CONFIG_DRM_TTM=y
+CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT=y


In comment #55 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721191#55) Ben 
wrote:

 +CONFIG_DRM=y

 Why should this be built-in?

On the C8000 an ATI FireGL is the only built-in GFX card and
it's only supported by the radeon DRM driver.
So, if the driver isn't built-in, you won't be able to see
the debian installer... [...]


The driver won't be built-in, as you're setting CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m.
And it doesn't need to be built-in.  It just needs to be in one of the
module packages that's included in the installer initramfs.  I think
you'll need to create a new udeb for DRM drivers and then add this to
the package lists for hppa images in the d-i repository.


And in comment #70 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721191#70) 
Ben wrote:


- AGP/DRM are now modules. Otherwise we don't have any output on the C8000 
machines.

You might yet need to make them built-in, as nothing else ensures that
AGP devices are initialised before DRM devices.


In the meantime I was now able to build a debian-installer-cd for hppa based on 
the 3.12.9 debian kernel.
It's available here: http://debian-ports.org/~deller/NETINST_CD_TRY4/
It works nicely on all machines, but as assumed, it's not useable on the C8000 
workstation since the ATI drivers above aren't active and as such the user 
don't see anything on the screen.
(I wanted to get everything worked out with the generation of a boot-cd before 
going back to this kernel questions/suggestions above).

So, my question now is:
Do you still suggest I should go the way as suggested in comment #55: I think 
you'll need to create a new udeb for DRM drivers... ?
Is it then really ensured, that the drivers will then be loaded before the very 
first installer screen?
The backside with it from my point of view is then, that people will not see 
any boot messages before modules gets loaded and they might think the machine 
crashed. And if it crashed you will get no output either.

Please suggest.
(PS: If I should provide a udeb-patch, which existing udeb-modules would you 
suggest me to look at which would be similiar? - I'm still learning here :-)).
 
Thanks,

Helge

If the udeb is included in the installer initramfs (rather than as a
package file), then yes I think they will be.

 The backside with it from my point of view is then, that people will
 not see any boot messages before modules gets loaded and they might
 think the machine crashed. And if it crashed you will get no output
 either.
 
 Please suggest.
 (PS: If I should provide a udeb-patch, which existing udeb-modules
 would you suggest me to look at which would be similiar? - I'm still
 learning here :-)).

Kernel udebs are built by kernel-wedge, based on configuration under
debian/installer in the linux source package.

They are configured using a fragment of control file in
debian/installer/package-list or debian/installer/arch/package-list,
and a list of modules under debian/installer/modules or
debian/installer/arch/modules/arch[-variant].

You could add a new drm-modules udeb, but I suggest you reuse the name
fb-modules which is already defined in debian/installer/package-list.
The list of modules is very much architecture-specific so add it under
debian/installer/hppa/modules/hppa.

The kernel-wedge documentation has more details.

Ben.
