[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1165433] Re: Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

2014-07-30 Thread Sergio Callegari
To Jussi...

as the original reporter of this bug, I think it has no hope of being fixed 
even if you provide all the relevant kernel commits.
Which is bad, because the crash is serious and happens 'late' when may kernel 
data structures may have been written over, with potential data loss.

I tried to provide pointers to all the relevant LKML entries and the
only replies I got was that I should have run apport-collect, which was
a bit frustrating. I hope that your list, that is much more organized
than my posts, has a better success.

Besides that, the bad news is that even on trusty (that has kernel
3.14), bluetooth dun is broken. At least here the issue is mere lack of
functionality, no crashes. This is due to:

- another kernel bug (it is probably http://lists.openwall.net/linux-
kernel/2014/02/10/54).  This prevents modemmanager from seeing rfcomm0
as a modem. Tried mainline 3.15.6 and works fine.

- a bug in modemmanager/networkmanager.  This keeps rfcomm0 open when
the connection is dropped and causes modemmanager to keep asking the
bluetooth phone about the signal quality.  When you try to connect
again, the connection fails. This is easily worked around by service
modemmanager restart.

Probably a new bug should be opened on launchpad against the kernel, wrt
the issue of parenting rfcomm0.  This fix should be easy to backport.
But I am a bit discouraged.

Title:
  Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Issue is obviously in the kernel that should not panic in any circumnstances.
  This bug is seen on quantal using the kernel from PPA mainline. Tested with 
3.8.0 to 3.8.6.
  Since 3.8.x is going to be the raring kernel I believe that this should 
definitely be fixed before raring is shipped.

  Seen on:

  DELL E6500 with kubuntu quantal 12.10 64 bit and as said, kernel 3.8.6 from 
the mainline ppa.
  The machine has a Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card 
(connected via an internal usb connection).

  The issue is shown when connecting to the internet via a Samsung Galaxy S 
plus phone, using a bluetooth DUN connection.
  It is reproducible every time.

  How to reproduce:

  1) Use the bluetooth applet to discover the phone and associate to it.
  2) Use network manager to setup a DUN connection with the phone through your 
APN
  3) Connect to the internet via bluetooth DUN (connection works perfectly)
  4) Disconnect from the network manager.

  At the same time you disconnect, the GUI session is terminated and the
  kernel panics, briefly showing a panic log on the screen.

  Note that:

  a) The issue is not present using the standard ubuntu quantal kernel
  b) The issue is not present using kernels from the mainline ppa before 3.8 
(e.g., 3.7.x is fine for all x)
  c) The issue is not present when connecting to the internet using a USB 
mobile dongle (e.g. Huawei usb key)

  This looks pretty serious to me: kernel does not sync when panicing
  and there is a serious risk of data loss; connecting to the internet
  via a smart phone using bluetooth DUN seems to be something that one
  should take for granted on any modern OS. Furthermore, points a) and
  b) above show that this is a *regression* over previous kernels.

2014-07-06 Thread Jussi Saarinen
I managed to find one more bug report similar to this one. So now there
are at least four bug reports (including this one) here in Launchpad on
this problem:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1144322

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1165433

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1189998

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-raring/+bug/1256811

Anyway, if these are about the same bug that I think they are, the bug
has now been completely fixed in kernel version 3.14, though kernel
version 3.12 included some of the fix. Also there was one previous fix
that is also needed that I think was backported to stable before 3.12.

I think I manged to list all the necessary commits, Here are links to
the commits, in case they need to be backported:

The first fix (pre 3.12?):
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1d9e689c934bd5ecb0f273c6c65e0655c5cfee5f

2014-01-03 Thread eccerr0r
I as well am somewhat disappointed in the handling of this bug, but only
for completeness, here I will report that a fix has been found but has
not reached a stable release yet.

Gianluca has suggested two patches in the linux-bluetooth late last year
patched against 3.12.6, and with these two patches I have found that
behavior has been restored back to what it was like pre 3.8.  This is
very preliminary as there still may be latent issues but my inititial
testing has indicated that the two patches have finally completely fixed
the problem.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1165433] Re: Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

2013-12-14 Thread Sergio Callegari
There is no activity from me because I have unsubscribed from the bug...
it is just by chance that I am reading this now.

This bug has been investigated and fixed in recent linux ages ago and
Jussi, eccerr0r and I have provided all the relevant information and
pointers in this thread. It has also been clarified in LKML that due to
the type of bug it is quite meaningless to provide traces and that this
bug may cause data loss due to corruption of the kernel data structures.
Yet, dangerous as it is, and regardless of the many users confirmig the
issue, the bug remains unconfirmed because there is no apport-collect
that is considered much more important than all the other info. And
since the bug is not confirmed, the ubuntu kernel developers are just
ignoring the report and all the useful pointers to upstream discussion.
And not surprisingly ubuntu remains unfixed months after the upstream
fix. Similarly not surprisingly duplicate bug reports spring out without
being recognized as such.

Unfortunately, I must say that I really find it a waste of time to
report bugs and spend time in checking the LKML and provide pointers to
the root relevant discussion there and pointers to upstream patches that
fix the issue in this condition. And this is why I gave in. Also it is a
bit sad that eccerr0r is invited not stay out of the discussion in the
duplicate 1256811 just because his main OS is gentoo.

I am also really sorry to say that the management of this bug report
seems to me as all rules and bureaucracy and zero substance, but I hope
that this can be accepted as constructive criticism, since I'm also
taking the time to try to explain why I'm getting this impression.

eccerr0r, please do not solicit others to post comments here as Me too! 
comments wouldn't be helpful at this point. If you are using Gentoo, it would 
be best to engage the Gentoo developers for assistance. Despite this, so your 
hardware may be tracked, using Ubuntu, could you please file a new report by 
executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository 
kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation:

2013-12-13 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Sergio Callegari, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily 
folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow 
additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the 
upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you 
tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following 
tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1165433] Re: Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

2013-12-12 Thread eccerr0r
Anyone running into this bug on Ubuntu, please test Linux kernel
3.12-release or newer, if you can compile it (or if there is a package
available...)  This kernel should have the BT DUN fixes.

I really cannot say anything in these forums as I am not running Ubuntu
(I have the same bug posted on Gentoo's bugtracker,
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474432 ) but there are not
enough Gentoo users using BT DUN/NetworkManager for me to collaborate
with...  My observations is that with the 3.12 vanilla kernel the crash
goes away if I manually set up an rfcomm link and detach it, but
NetworkManager no longer finds BT DUN as a valid dialup device.
Reverting back to 3.5.7 or 3.6.11 restores operation with the same
userspace.

  Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Issue is obviously in the kernel that should not panic in any circumnstances.
  This bug is seen on quantal using the kernel from PPA mainline. Tested with 
3.8.0 to 3.8.6.
  Since 3.8.x is going to be the raring kernel I believe that this should 
definitely be fixed before raring is shipped.

  Seen on:

  DELL E6500 with kubuntu quantal 12.10 64 bit and as said, kernel 3.8.6 from 
the mainline ppa.
  The machine has a Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card 
(connected via an internal usb connection).

  The issue is shown when connecting to the internet via a Samsung Galaxy S 
plus phone, using a bluetooth DUN connection.
  It is reproducible every time.

  How to reproduce:

  1) Use the bluetooth applet to discover the phone and associate to it.
  2) Use network manager to setup a DUN connection with the phone through your 
APN
  3) Connect to the internet via bluetooth DUN (connection works perfectly)
  4) Disconnect from the network manager.

  At the same time you disconnect, the GUI session is terminated and the
  kernel panics, briefly showing a panic log on the screen.

  Note that:

  a) The issue is not present using the standard ubuntu quantal kernel
  b) The issue is not present using kernels from the mainline ppa before 3.8 
(e.g., 3.7.x is fine for all x)
  c) The issue is not present when connecting to the internet using a USB

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1165433] Re: Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

2013-09-17 Thread eccerr0r
Preliminary:
I just tried with 3.12-rc1 with blueman.  It doesn't work - if someone else 
could also try this it would be interesting.
When I tried connecting to dialup networking, it claims it cannot connect to 
networkmanager after trying to setup the DUN connection for a few moments - 
implying there was a dbus issue.  However the same setup, when I reboot back to 
3.6.11, works fine - so userspace should be working.
It may be a kernel config error, but if someone else could also try it would be 
good.  I did see /dev/rfcomm0 get set up, need to try to see if I can do AT 
commands to /dev/rfcomm0 at least, but I don't have a terminal program 
installed on this laptop...

2013-09-17 Thread eccerr0r
More information:

Thanks to busybox being installed, I used its microcom utility and
tested that the bluetooth RFCOMM link does work as I can submit the AT
commands to the modem and the modem responded as expected.  I can
subsequently shut down the link too with blueman without seeing a
hang/crash.  In my opinion it seems to be working but there may be a
separate unexpected BAPI change going on here.

I also want to make a correction here: the more exact error that I got was:
Connection Failed: Modem Manager did not support the connection.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1165433] Re: Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

2013-09-06 Thread Sergio Callegari
Fixed the bug title (so that the window of affected kernels is clear and
it is clear that this is an issue both for raring and for saucy.

Also marked as confirmed, since the incomplete label was a bit weird at
this point.

If I understand correctly the situation now is this

1) All kernels from 3.8.0 to 3.11.x are affected. 3.12 will most likely be 
fixed, unless something really unexpected happens with the 3.12 RC kernels and 
the fix eventually needs to be reverted.
2) The fix that is going into 3.12 RC1 would also apply cleanly to 3.11.x (and 
probably back to 3.8.x, possibly with very minor changes)
3) In spite of the fixing patches only touching rfcomm (that is anyway 
completely broken in 3.8.x to 3.11.x), they are considered too 'fat' for 
inclusion in the kernel stabilization series for 3.10.x and 3.11.x (I think 
that the kernel stabilization series for 3.9.x is terminated, so that 3.9 will 
not be fixed in anyway, and the kernel stabilization series for 3.8.x is in 
ubuntu's hands).
4) To provide a fix to 3.8.x to 3.11.x those who indicated the 3.12 fix as too 
fat for the stabilization series suggested a much 'thinner' approach based on 
BUG_ON. Unfortunately, when tried that approach proved not to fix the issue.

Now I wonder if the declaration of the proper fix as too fat for the
stabilization series was in some way influenced by the wrong expectation
to be able to count on a thinner fix.

At this point, either 
- a proper 'thin' fix comes out soon suitable for the stabilization series and 
ubuntu imports it in raring and saucy's kernels
- ubuntu applies the proper 'fat' fix to its kernels even if it does not go to 
the stabilization series since in any case they only touch a subsystem that is 
currently utterly broken and to dangerous to use
- the bug remains unfixed in raring and saucy

In the last case, who is unaware may end up trying bluetooth DUN and
experience a 'delayed' crash and data loss. The others will probably
build a 3.8.x with the 'fat' fix on ppa and live happy.

Title:
  Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Issue is obviously in the kernel that should not panic in any circumnstances.
  This bug is seen on quantal using the kernel from PPA mainline. Tested with 
3.8.0 to 3.8.6.
  Since 3.8.x is going to be the raring kernel I believe that this should 
definitely be fixed before raring is shipped.

  Seen on:

  DELL E6500 with kubuntu quantal 12.10 64 bit and as said, kernel 3.8.6 from 
the mainline ppa.
  The machine has a Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card 
(connected via an internal usb connection).

  The issue is shown when connecting to the internet via a Samsung Galaxy S 
plus phone, using a bluetooth DUN connection.
  It is reproducible every time.

  How to reproduce:

  1) Use the bluetooth applet to discover the phone and associate to it.
  2) Use network manager to setup a DUN connection with the phone through your 
APN
  3) Connect to the internet via bluetooth DUN (connection works perfectly)
  4) Disconnect from the network manager.

  At the same time you disconnect, the GUI session is terminated and the
  kernel panics, briefly showing a panic log on the screen.

  Note that:

  a) The issue is not present using the standard ubuntu quantal kernel
  b) The issue is not present using kernels from the mainline ppa before 3.8 
(e.g., 3.7.x is fine for all x)
  c) The issue is not present when connecting to the internet using a USB 
mobile dongle (e.g. Huawei usb key)

  This looks pretty serious to me: kernel does not sync when panicing
  and there is a serious risk of data loss; connecting to the internet
  via a smart phone using bluetooth DUN seems to be something that one
  should take for granted on any modern OS. Furthermore, points a) and
  b) above show that this is a *regression* over previous kernels.

Sergio Callegari, please execute the following command with a computer you can 
reproduce the issue with, as it will automatically gather debugging 
information, in a terminal:
apport-collect 1165433
When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and 
the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality 
at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1165433] Re: Kernels from 3.8.x to 3.11.x panic on bluetooth DUN disconnect

2013-09-06 Thread Sergio Callegari
For the 10th time, tried. Hangs. Apport-collect is buggy and needs
inconvenient workarounds to be used. Please push to have it fixed,
otherwise it won't be used. If it worked fine, it would have been used
it since the first time.

In any case I cannot see how a bug for which there are kernel patches
accepted for next kernel and bug reports in all distros, plus 14
confirmations here, can be not 'confirmed' and bounce all time to
'incomplete'.

Too tired about this bug, can be closed for me, unsubscribed.
