Hi Cameron,

does the bug you described in https://bugs.debian.org/970819 still occur? 
I.e.:


* do you still have that system?

Bug#1008575: Wi-Fi works with loglevel=3 but not without

2022-03-29 Thread Tomas Pospisek

I wrote:

Wi-Fi stops working after upgrading from -12- to 
linux-image-5.10.0-13-amd64 (iwlwifi: probe of :00:14.3 failed with 
error -110))


So in order to get more debug info, I set `loglevel=3` in grub in the 
kernel command line.


That changed two things:

* now while booting I get to see the line on screen:
  iwlwifi :00:14.3: firmware: failed to load iwl-debug-yoyo.bin (-2)
  That wouldn't get displayed previously when booting without `loglevel=3`

* now Wi-Fi actually works!
  kernel logs say:

Repeatedly switching back and forth between booting kernel ...-13 with or

Bug#1008575: linux-image-5.10.0-13-amd64: Wi-Fi stops working after upgrading from -12- to linux-image-5.10.0-13-amd64 (iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -110)

2022-03-28 Thread Tomas Pospisek
Package: src:linux
Version: 5.10.106-1
Severity: important

Dear Kernel maintainers and other Debian users that maybe have the same problem,

After upgrading from linux-image-5.10.0-12-amd64 to linux-image-5.10.0-13-amd64
the iwlwifi is unable to initialise the Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (rev 20)
Wi-Fi device.

Before:

  [4.549794] iwlwifi :00:14.3: firmware: direct-loading firmware 
iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-59.ucode
  [4.549800] iwlwifi :00:14.3: api flags index 2 larger than supported 
by driver
  [4.549808] iwlwifi :00:14.3: TLV_FW_FSEQ_VERSION: FSEQ Version: 
65.3.35.22
  [4.550084] iwlwifi :00:14.3: loaded firmware version 59.601f3a66.0 
QuZ-a0-hr-b0-59.ucode op_mode iwlmvm
  [4.550099] iwlwifi :00:14.3: firmware: failed to load 
iwl-debug-yoyo.bin (-2)

After:

  [4.481502] iwlwifi: probe of :00:14.3 failed with error -110  
 

The bug looks remotely similar to:

https://bugs.debian.org/976110
https://bugs.debian.org/1003026
https://bugs.debian.org/976110

I've given the bug the severity: important, because this laptop is
mostly used for being online and thus without that function is becomes
more or less useless.

I'll check whether I find something upstream. And report back.

Re: Bug#990411: systemd: set kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 1

reassign 990411 linux-image-5.10.0-7-amd64

Thanks Michael, reassigning as proposed. Though I'm wondering (and not 
finding) whether there would be a more general package to assign this 
ticket to (such as linux-image-5.x or something).


Any thoughts on this problem in the security or the kernel team?

Thanks and greets to all of you!

Hi,

TLDR:

 $ sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled
 kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0

please disable unprivileged BPF by default, it seems that it
is not safe to be allowed by default in the general case.

I'm not sure if systemd is the right place to report this
security/wishlist ticket against. I've chosen systemd because it
ships `/etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf` which seems to me to be the
nearest fit to where `kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled` should
be set. Please reassign if there's a better package to stick
this report to.


/etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf is just a symlink pointing at
99-sysctl.conf -> ../sysctl.conf

$ dpkg -S /etc/sysctl.conf
procps: /etc/sysctl.conf

tbh, I'd prefer the security oder kernel team to make that judgement call.

The kernel that was reported in your bug report was:

That's a kernel from Debian stretch aka oldstable [1] AFAI can see. Did
you test with current Debian stable (buster) as well? Would it be
possible for you to test with Debian buster?

Bug#666021: no "page allocation failure"s any more

2016-06-07 Thread Tomas Pospisek
Since upgrading to the 4.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 kernel and setting 
"vm.min_free_kbytes = 65536" we have not seen any more "page allocation 
failure" on our servers.


Thus it seems that those two things have fixed the problems.

We have now set:

  # cat /etc/sysctl.conf
  ...
  vm.min_free_kbytes = 65536
  ...
  # sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

Since Ben Hutchings' explanation in [1] in this bug report makes very much 
sense, and matches quite closely with what we are seeing I am assuming 
that the setting above will fix our problem. If not I'll report back here.


Note that from what I can see our system is *NOT* under memory pressure.

I think that this problem is fundamentaly a *kernel bug*:

I don't think that an admin should be required to have intricate knowledge 
about memory allocation procedures in the network stack in order to be 
able to operate a server.


On the contrary it's the network stack that should be able to communicate 
to the virtual memory subsystem that it needs memory pages badly, and the 
virtual memory subsystem should tale that criticality into account and 
swap out pages or call the OOM subsystem to kill stuff.


Also there doesn't seem to be sufficient info coming along with the error 
message "swapper/3: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x20" to 
enable a sysadmin to figure out why there was an allocation failure.


Note that the original reason why I ended up in this bug report here was, 
that some *VM*'s filesystem would be mounted read-only for no apparent 
reason.

 in the bug report or if the bug is not related to the firmware package,
 and so I ask to you for a suggestion about the Debian team to which
 forward the bug.

The problem with your bug report is, that it does not contain any
actionable information. It says it doesn't work, but doesn't say what
the circumstances are, what work would look like, what exactly you are
doing etc.

Some informations that would be useful:

- what does the wireless interface fails mean? You can't ping an
  IP address? You can't ping your router? If you look at interface
  statistics, then you see they are not changing? The interface is
  physically off? And so on.

- what brand and type is your wifi *exactly*

- how do you shutdown and restart your wifi interface?

- what do the relevant logs say (kernel log, system log)

And so on.

I think it would be best if you'd contact some Debian support
channel where people can potentially guide you along. I suggest:

Bug#771888: regression: 3.16-0.bpo.3 - 3.16.0-4 - doesn't register usb storage any more

2014-12-03 Thread Tomas Pospisek
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.16.7-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

as reported on d-d [1] after upgrading from

  * wheezy with
  * sysvinit and
  * linux-image-3.16-0.bpo.3-amd64

to:

  * jessie with
  * systemd and
  * linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64

my system stopped being automatically able to make an attached
smartphone's USB storage visible under /dev/sd*.

What I do (and habe been doing in the past) is:

attach the smartphone via USB to the laptop. On the smartphone a dialog
pops up, that asks me how I want to make the smartphone visible to the
laptop: as 'MTD', as 'installer' or as 'storage'. I select 'storage'.

Normally at that point, the device would become visible as /dev/sdb.
However with linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 it doesn't appear under /dev any
more.

I've tried to switch the USB device's mode's manually with
usb_modeswitch, but allthough usb_modeswitch reports success
issuing the command and getting an answer back from the device, it
doesn't have any impact on making the device available as /dev/sd*.

The only way I've found to make the device available as /dev/sdb is to
reload the usb_storage module like this:

  rmmod usb_storage  modprobe usb_storage

Here's an extract from /var/log/messages. First I attach the smartphone to
the laptop's usb plug:

  Nov 27 13:46:41 hier kernel: [28652.975203] usb 4-1.1: new high-speed USB

Nothing more happens in the log. The device is not visible as /dev/sdb.

Now I do a

  rmmod usb_storage  modprobe usb_storage

at which point /var/log/messages continues like this:

reassigning bugreport from base to linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae

2014-09-13 Thread Tomas Pospisek

reassign 758784 linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae

thanks

The kernel log included in the bug report indicates that the bug happens 
in a kernel from the linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae image. Thus reassigning.
I did not try to reproduce the problem. It happens in vmwgfx_drv.c:903. 
The reported error invalid opcode looks rather weird - mabe code gets 
overwritten? Which could also indicate a security problem?

Bug#704564: radeon UVD

2013-07-17 Thread Tomas Pospisek

Some notes about the radeon firmware update:

Mikhail Kshevetskiy let me know that I must replace *all* Radeon firmware 
files that the kernel/driver is looking for - this can be seen in dmesg:


  ...
  platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: agent loaded radeon/CAICOS_pfp.bin into memory
  platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: agent loaded radeon/CAICOS_me.bin into memory
  etc...

So backed up the existing ones in /lib/firmware/radeon and replaced them 
with new ones from http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/ and

rebooted. Which went well.

The reason I had a try at upgrading the firmware is also that sometimes 
for unknow reason my laptop starts blowing hot air like crazy. top 
and powertop are showing a laptop that's mostly asleep, however I have the 
suspicion that it's the Radeon chip that goes berserk despite being 
switched *off*:


  $ dmesg | grep radeon
  ...
  radeon: switched off

So I hoped maybe a new firmware would help. It doesn't. Since HP has 
installed a BIOS for idiots (TM) on my Pavillon dv7 6130ez one can not 
hard switch off the discrete radeon card on it. This doesn't work either:


  # echo profile  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
  # echo low  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
  default engine clock: 75 kHz
  current engine clock: 870800 kHz
  default memory clock: 775000 kHz
  current memory clock: 24970 kHz
  voltage: 1100 mV
  PCIE lanes: 16

the discrete Radeon card is going on in it's meaningless business of 
transforming electricity into heat and fan noise.

Bug#704564: not working here

2013-07-12 Thread Tomas Pospisek
FWIW - after having installed the linux-image-3.10-rc7-amd64 kernel from 
experimental I saw it complain that it couldn't find SUMO_uvd.bin. I found 
the suggestion in this bugreport and thus put
http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/SUMO_uvd.bin under 
/lib/firmware/radeon.


The result was this when booting:

Note that's 10 seconds of boot delay.

It's well possible that I did something other wrong though (there's no 
howto so...).

Bug#711054: synaptics touchpad becomes unusable under load

2013-06-04 Thread Tomas Pospisek
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.8.13-1
Severity: important

When my system gets under moderate real time load - i.e. watching a
video - the touchpad becomes unusable. As an example, when I go to
http://www.spotify.com which features a very large movie that is
playing in the background, I can not use the mouse any more *at all*.
And with at all I mean at all: I just am not able to move it anywhere
any more.

The touchpad has been behaving very badly with previous kernels
allready, i.e.:

  $ ls /boot/vmlinuz-3.*
  /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 
  /boot/vmlinuz-3.7.0
  /boot/vmlinuz-3.7.0-rc6
  /boot/vmlinuz-3.8-2-amd64

... but with kernel 3.8-2 usability has become hell: Using the
touchpad is now *really* painful.

Note the extract from the kernel.log below. The touchpad and keyboard are
loosing their sync all the time. Wrt keyboard this means, that keyboard
behavior is quite erratic - one can never be sure what is received by
the system when typing quickly - sometimes keys are repeated many times,
sometimes they do not get through at all.

All pointers on how to diagnose or debug this problem better or even
improve the situation are very wellcome.

There's a quite unacted upon upstream bugreport about these (?) problems
here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37852

Bug#595920: lxc-attach infrastructure in kernel 3.8

2013-01-11 Thread Tomas Pospisek
The 3.8 kernel contains the necessary functionality to enable lxc-attach. 
See http://lwn.net/Articles/531381/:


In earlier kernel versions, it was not possible to use setns() to join 
mount, PID, and user namespaces, but, starting with Linux 3.8, setns() 
now supports joining all namespace types.


I'm not sure whether the kernel team has an apropriate bts tag to attach 
to this bugreport to note that once a 3.8 kernel is in debian, then this 
bug can be closed?

I don't know how releated this patchset is, however it was pulled into 
Linus' current tree:


   
https://github.com/mirrors/linux-2.6/commit/437589a74b6a590d175f86cf9f7b2efcee7765e7

Maybe there's someone who can have a look at this and/or do some tests 
with it.

Bug#570382: after upgrade: vlogin: openpty(): No such file or directory

2010-08-23 Thread Tomas Pospisek

Thanks, I tested that [1], and it does seem to work.

Hopefully this bug is being worked on by someone upstream.


AFAIK it's not worked on upstream and very probably fixed in newer 
vserver releases. I asked on vserver's IRC channel and was told in quite 
clear words something along the lines of we don't care about ancient 
preferred fecal word of your choice kernels that Debian ships. You may 
want to re-inquiry @vserver.


On a different note: the last update to the most recent DSA kernels [2] 
went completely smoothly - that is all vservers restarted without a 
hickup. Makes me wonder if that was caused by a change in the 
2.6.26-24lenny1 kernel? We'll see at the next upgrade.


I'm Cc:ing this to all bug report participants, I hope you all don't mind.

Bug#573490: drbd fails to load: drbd: disagrees about version of symbol cn_add_callback

2010-03-16 Thread Tomas Pospisek

Dann,

sorry for replying late - I just installed the new drbd8 modules:

  Setting up drbd8-modules-2.6.26-2-686 (2.6.26+8.0.14-6+lenny3) ...
  Setting up drbd8-modules-2.6-686 (2:2.6.26-6+lenny3) ...
  Setting up drbd8-utils (2:8.0.14-2+lenny1) ...

together with the latest lenny4 kernel:

  Setting up linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 (2.6.26-21lenny4)

and can confirm that they work again, and that the new drbd also works 
together with the previous lenny versions of the kernel and of drbd - 
namely with:


  drbd8-modules-2.6.26-2-686 (2.6.26+8.0.14-6+lenny1)
  linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 (2.6.26-21lenny3)


From my log:


  ... drbd0: conn( SyncSource - Connected ) pdsk( Inconsistent - UpToDate )

Thanks a lot!!

I guess then that kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 (2.6.26-21lenny4) should 
be conflicting with the previous, incompatible drbd package
= drbd8-modules-2.6.26-2-686 (2.6.26+8.0.14-6+lenny3) in order to force 
an upgrade to a compatible drbd package?


Thanks again,
*t

well, crap - we ignored that ABI change because google showed only an
old/deprecated module as an out-of-tree user, but we obviously missed
drbd. We'll work on an update to the drbd modules.


This patch builds for me, but I don't have a drbd setup. I'd
appreciate it if someone could test it :)

Bug#570382: more datapoints on vserver start failure

2010-03-11 Thread Tomas Pospisek

So once again I had to upgrade kernels and I noticed:

* that only my -686 kernel based machines failed to start the vservers
  (guests) correctly. The amd64 machine started them without problems. I
  see that florian.duf...@inria.fr also has an 686 machine. I'm Cc:ing Dan
  to see whether that's also the case for him.

* on one of the machines the *first* of the vserver actually did start
  all others not and on the other machine all vservers did not start
  correctly. So it's not either all vservers fail to start or none. Might
  a ressource pressure problem?

* stopping and starting the vservers one after the other fixed the
  problem, the vservers started correctly

Bug#516376: Upstream fix available

2010-02-20 Thread Tomas Pospisek

Moritz,

I am not affected by the bug and thus am not in a position to test the 
fix. (I was just doing casual bug triaging and saw and merged all the 
identical nfsd problems and while doing it googled whether there wasn't 
allready a fix for them).


One of the bug reporters could try the sqeeze kernel.

Thanks,
*t

Hi,
The next release of Debian (6.0, code name Squeeze) will be based
on 2.6.32. Please test the current 2.6.32 from unstable/testing and tell
us whether the problem persists. If so, we should report it upstream
to the kernel.org developers.

The 2.6.32 kernel is available from packages.debian.org and can
be installed in both Debian stable, testing and unstable
installations.

Thanks,
   Moritz

Bug#565235: unmute the speaker?

2010-02-18 Thread Tomas Pospisek

Hello,

this might be a stupid suggestion, but have you tried unmuting the 
speaker? I had the problem in the past, that I had no sound but in fact 
the sound driver had the output muted. All I had to do is to start 
alsamixed and unmute the outputs (I think it's the M key or something 
similar).

Bug#570382: after upgrade: vlogin: openpty(): No such file or directory

2010-02-18 Thread Tomas Pospisek

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.26-21lenny3
Severity: normal

After upgrading the kernel from linux-image-2.6.26-2-vserver-686 2.6.26-21 
to 2.6.26-21lenny3 and rebooting we could not log into the vservers any 
more and got the mentioned error instead:


   # vserver foo enter
   vlogin: openpty(): No such file or directory
   #

since we had some instance where the procedure had worked we compared /dev 
and added the devices that were not on the instances where it did not 
work and restarted the vserver instances. Now everything seemed to 
behave as expected.


We're not sure whether adding the devices cured the problem or whether it 
was restarting the vserver instances or both.


We add the following devices under /var/lib/vserver/foo

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   13 fd - /proc/self/fd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root4 stderr - fd/2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root4 stdin - fd/0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root4 stdout - fd/1

Additionally /var/lib/vserver/foo/dev/[u]random had different permissions 
(only owner had write permussion). So we added group and other write 
permissions:


# chmod og+w /var/lib/vserver/foo/dev/*random

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 random
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 9 urandom

2010-02-18 Thread Tomas Pospisek

(I'm including Micah Anderson, maintainer of util-vserver in the Cc: in
 the hope that maybe the symptoms mentioned here may ring a bell with
 him. I hope you don't mind Micah.)

Dan Gardner wrote on Feb 18 :


I experienced similar behaviour, however I saw different results when
using vserver foo start and when using /etc/init.d/util-vserver
start, with only the latter exhibiting the problem. The problem appears
to be caused by secure-mount segfaulting (as you can see in your logs)
when mounting /dev/pts. Changing the vserver's fstab file to include the
options rw,noexec,nosuid for the devpts entry seems to fix the
problem. Here's the entry from my fstab in case it helps anybody:

none/dev/ptsdevpts  rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0


I checked the kernel's changelog and there doesn't seem to be no mention 
of changing anything related to vserver (there is a xen change though - no 
idea if it touches common infrastructure).


However the util-vserver changelog mentions as of release 0.30.216~r2842-1 
(which is in sid only) the removal of several secure-mount /dev related 
patches [1]. Since I am on lenny I still have the older 0.30.216~r2772-6 
release of util-vserver. Don't know if the problems we see have anything 
to do with the code touched by those patches.

The last parameter to mmap should be the offset where the caller wants 
data to be initialized (AFAIU). So what's that absurd value 
(0xb28408086038) there? That's way out in the stratosphere. Well 
whatever, I don't want to pretend I understand anything about the mmap 
syscall interface.


However, 2.6.26-21lenny1 messed with mmap. From Debian's changelog:

  linux-2.6 (2.6.26-21lenny1) stable-security; urgency=high

  [ dann frazier ]
  ...
  * Fix several issues with mmap/mremap (CVE-2010-0291)
  ...

   -- dann frazier da...@debian.org  Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:20:16 -0700

CVE-2010-0291 [1] references this discussion [2] which discusses tricky 
implications of the patch on virtualisation [3] - which is exactly 
the place where we are standing: vserver. So I think I can see stuff 
peeling off the space shuttle however don't know how to fix it. Contacting 
NASA at vserver-ML additionally to the Debian engineers sounds like a good 
idea.

Bug#464962: same problem in qemu

Since the host CPU is an old P3 but the guest kernel was compiled 
for Pentium M, I thought that could be the problem and recompiled 
the qemu guest kernel for P3:



CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII=y
# CONFIG_MPENTIUMM is not set


but when I run the resulting kernel inside qemu I still get the same 
problem.

A kernel built with:

Bug#421701: initrd-tools are not needed for etch's kernels

2007-05-01 Thread Tomas Pospisek
Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.84.2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The package Description says:

tools to create initrd image for prepackaged Linux kernel
 This package contains tools needed to generate an initrd image suitable
 for booting a prepackaged Linux kernel image (as shipped with the Debian
 main distribution).  It does not cater for other uses of initrd at the
 moment.

As far as as know [1] initrd-tools are no more needed for current Debian
kernels.

Having initrd-tools installed will by default generates initrd type boot RAM
disks (unless not configured differently of course) which are not compatible
with uswsusp, that requires initramfs images. Thus deinstalling or
deconfiguring initrd-tools is necessary when using uswsusp.

So I'd suggest to change the description as follows, so that people can
deinstall initrd-tools:

tools to create initrd image for older prepackaged Linux kernel
 This package contains tools needed to generate an initrd image suitable
 for booting older prepackaged Linux kernel images (as shipped with the
 oldstable sarge Debian main distribution).  It does not cater for other
 uses of initrd at the moment.

I do not know the new initramfs tools work on all the platforms for the shipped
2.6 kernel in etch - thus this should probably be verified before - or
whether they're even only necessary for the older 2.4er kernel. This should be
verified in order to provide a precise package description.
