Your BIOS is broken.  You probably have 1GB of RAM which extends from
0x to 0x4000.  However, there's a hole in the ACPI map
between 0x3fefa000 and 0x3ff0.  This is where your Cardbus devices
are ending up:

 3fefa000-3fefa3ff : :00:1f.1
 3fefb000-3fefbfff : :02:01.0
   3fefb000-3fefbfff : yenta_socket
 3fefc000-3fefcfff : :02:01.1
   3fefc000-3fefcfff : yenta_socket

Changing the bridge type to non-transparent just means that we find
we can't allocate the bridge resources in this small window, so they
get moved elsewhere.

start from there?

 I discovered that either the i2c_core.ko or i2c_i801.ko modules cause the

 perfectly! Presumably there's a bug in the resuming of this module.

Well, on my IBM ThinkPad T42p (ATI FireGL T2 128MB), I can resume with
both I2C modules loaded, so probably the problem is not specific to
the I2C subsystem.

 In other news, USB devices only work after I remove uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd and 
 reload them.

I just tested two USB devices after S3 resuming without having removed
the USB modules (uhci-hcb and ehci-hcd):

- Logitech USB Wheel Mouse (046d:c00c, USB 1.x), it works with no
  problem on console, but not on X (this was caused by the fact that
  I've two corepointer on my XF86Config-4, in fact after having
  corrected this error and restarted X, the USB mouse works)

- Mitsubishi Chemical 2.5 HD Case (05e3:0702, USB 2.0 [1], with a
  SAMSUNG MP0804H 80GB), it works with no problem :-D

 The s3_bios workaround allows video to kind of work, but I can't use anything 
 other than vga=normal (vesafb results in corruption), and the screen is no 
 longer artificially resized to fill the LCD, it's native res and centered 
 (which sure is annoying).

Again, IMHO the problem is specific to your machine: I use the
radeonfb (with acpi_sleep=s3_bios) and the resume is ok (both in
console and Debian XFree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1-11, radeon driver).

I see the same problem with an IBM Thinkpad G40, and only when there is

The problem was reported the first time (to my knowledge), here:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0306.3/0956.html
by a Thinkpad T40 user.
So the problem seems to affect at least three different Thinkpad models.
The workaround I've seen so far have either been to disable 
pci_fixup_transparent_bridge (as mentioned in this thread) or to raise 
the value of pci_mem_start.

Check to see if your e820 map has a hole in it, and whether any of
your Cardbus bridge memory / region 0 resources appear in it.

If your e820 map contains a hole, I'd suspect another buggy bios.

Wouldn't calling sbrk(0) help?  I don't know if the Haskell run-time

A consistent way to measure would be handy for observing changes over

This is more an attempt to get this indexed by web search engines than a
request for help, although maybe someone can draw some conclusion from the
following and be of some use to anyone. Although the subject refers to
some specific kernel version, what is reported in the mail is also valid
for (at least) any kernel version up to 2.6.11-rc3.

Back in the beginning of January I sent a (desperate) email to the list
reporting frequenet lockups with (then) recent 2.6.x kernel versions. The
Message-ID of the original post is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and 
the subject Linux 2.6.10-rc3-bk15 hanged under high load (i386).

Well, I heve suffering from the same problem since then, but soon I
realized some kind of pattern: I was only getting one (and only one)
kernel hang each day. I power on the PC, start downloading tons of mail
(mostly spam), at some point spamassassin gets killed and the logs get
full of very nasty messages as the ones reported back in January ( Unable
to handle kernel paging request and stack dumps). Finally the box freezes.

After the above I reboot the box (a simple RESET, not a power OFF / power
ON cycle), start downloading mail again...and no more paging request
failures, stack dumps, process killed, or hung boxes, _never_.

So it seemed like the hardware is flawed and somehow needed to be rebooted
once to be put in a stable configuration. From the day I realized the
pattern I booted the PC, then inmediately did a reboot, and then started
using the box as usual: no more error or problems of any kind since then.

It's been two weeks since then, and no problems. Maybe it was just a
coincidence, so today I booted the box and started using it without an
initializing reboot like the previous two weeks. And some minutes after
started downloading mail the box freezed hard with the messages inlined to
the end of this email.

So it seems clear to me that something is very broken in the hardware, but
somehow it gets fixed after a reboot. I have no knowledge to investigate
this further, but at least someone with the same problem will search
through Google and hopefully find this message.

Greetings.

These are emerging functionality type. 

There are some patches in the pipeline, which make use of this and
waited for inclusion of those functions into mainline. I will
rework/rediff them after 2.6.11 is released.

 Afaik that's the main difference between C and C++; in C you can still
 change const variables... in C++ thats illegal (at least that's what I
 remember and google seems to support somewhat ;)

The compiler does use the const modifier on a static object to optimise
code.  Try compiling this program:

const int x;

int bar(int);

int foo(void)
{
bar(x);
return bar(x);
}

With the const gcc (3.3.4) will only load x once while it'll reload
it after calling bar if you remove the const modifier.

Needed faster implementation of do_gettimeofday()

From this output what I can analyse is that mark_offset_tsc(which is
called from do_gettimeofday), and some other timer functions, are taking
most of the CPU.

Is there any faster implementation of do_gettimeofday. I am using kernel
2.6.10. with dual P4.

What I found from google search is: http://lwn.net/Articles/9266/ , which
is only for kernel 2.4

Thanks for help.

Try passing:

Thanks a bunch, that worked, now I don't have to patch my kernel

Why does printk helps PCMCIA card to initialise?

2005-02-20 Thread Martin Drohmann

After updating to a new kernel (2.6.8) my PCMCIA ISDN did not work 
anymore.

My test system now looks like this:

The initialisation of my ISDN always failed with the following error

So obviously, the kernel fails to allocate an io port window for the 
PCMCIA adapter, and complains about a bad request for such a window. 
However, if interprete these values as a request of an 8bit large IO 
Window starting at base, I don't know what's so odd about it. Maybe, 
this interpretation is wrong? Furthermore, /proc/ioports tells me that 
the requested IO addresses are NOT used.

Well, I browsed the sources and added simple debug messages to the code 
in order to find out, what function exactly returns an error and stops 
the initialisation of my card. This debug led me to the function 
nonstatic_find_io_region in drivers/pcmcia/rsrc_nonstatic.c that is 
used by yenta_socket. To my very surprise, the ISDN card suppenly worked 
after I added a printk that never executes. The file rsrc_nonstatic.c 
then changed like this:

So the io request stay odd, but now it works. If printk is not there, 
allocate_resource returns with error code EBUSY. I do not understand 
that at all. Maybe my printk irritates the semaphore that is set around 
the allocate_resource? However, then my solution won't be very safe, 
although my card works perfectly now. I have only a very basic 
understanding of those kernel functions, and wonder if someone can tell 
me, what this is all about.

You're changing the block inside the else clause.
It's not about upsetting the sem afaik.
I could be wrong though, and that'll be a terrible tragedy.
Of course this is as long as CONFIG_PCI it's evaluating true, is it?

The problem is just that these walker macros when they

And they're really not changed that often.
It is not so much a matter of changing, so much as having 10

I think it should be easier to go from the iterators patch to

If you added this, you've done much more than just adding it.  Look

 ret = allocate_resource(ioport_resource, res, num, min, 
 ~0UL,

So, with your printk in place, we try pci_bus_alloc_resource.  If that
succeeds or fails, we completely stomp on that with allocate_resource.
Bad.  Very bad.

The first thing that needs solving is why you're getting the odd IO
request crap.  That may explain why the resource can't be allocated.

As far as I know: SuSE uses bootsplash, Gentoo and PLD use fbsplash,
RedHat uses rhgb (100% userspace solution, based on xvesa, doesn't
provide graphical backgrounds on vt's - for that a kernel patch like
bootsplash or fbsplash is necessary). I don't know about Debian - they
probably have some (possibly unofficial) support for both bootsplash

Kernel 2.4.29 (Sparc64) and iproute

2005-02-20 Thread BERTRAND Joël
Hello,

I'm trying to use iproute (20041019) with 2.4.29 official kernel on
a UltraSparc 1E. I have marked all packets that come from an
intranet server (192.168.0.130:3000 / tcp) like this :

Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 13344 packets, 1830K bytes)
 pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination 
   89  5340 MARK   tcp  --  *  *   192.168.0.130
0.0.0.0/0   tcp spts:3000:3001 MARK set 0x1 

And I have logged the result of iptables. All packets are marked.
So, I have written a new rule with iproute :

Root kant:[/var/log]  ip rule show
0:  from all lookup local 
100:from 192.168.1.1 lookup intranet 
101:from all fwmark 0x1 lookup intranet 
32766:  from all lookup main 
32767:  from all lookup default 
Root kant:[/var/log]  ip route show table intranet
default via 192.168.1.254 dev eth2 
Root kant:[/var/log]  

My intranet table is ignored. But I can use the second interface. If
I replace from all fwmark 0x1 lookup intranet by from
192.168.0.130 lookup intranet, all packets coming from my intranet
server all redirected conforming to intranet table. Any idea ? Is
iproute broken with 2.4.29 ?

Thanks in advance,

JKB

Intel Gigabit NIC (2.6.5 - 2.6.10) Bug(?) Found

2005-02-20 Thread Justin Piszcz
What is this e-mail about?
Something in the kernel changed regarding the Intel e1000 driver from 
2.6.5 to 2.6.10. The change resulted in thousands of errors when the NIC 
is receiving data. For the past two weeks I have thought about this and 
tried everything I could think of, it had really been pestering me. 
Normally, I never really looked at my ifconfig eth0, eth1 etc because I 
looked at it a long time ago and noticed it was just fine, this was with 
earlier kernels.  I guess I should check my NIC statistics more often. I 
have tried the following to figure out why I get so many dropped packets 
and errors on an interface:

1] New Intel [same model] NIC.
2] Different ports in the switch.
3] New cable.
4] Switched PCI slots for the Intel Gigabit Card.
5] Switched BIOS settings/parameters to exact settings as other, identical
   machine.
None of these fixed the problem. There are two machines (same model) here 
with GigE nics, on one there are  very few (1-3) if any errors on the nic 
ever.  The test that I used that reproduces the problem the quickest is dd 
if=/dev/zero of=/nfsv3/udp/file.img where the dd is on another box sending 
to the box that gets the RX errors on the NIC.  Generally, there would be 
about 100 errors every 10 seconds.  There are two identical machines on 
the network here, both with this same Intel Gigabit NIC (82541GI/PI).  So 
one machine is running 2.6.5, the other 2.6.10, I figured it had to 
something in the kernel that was causing this.  Therefore I grabbed 
ethtool and installed it and did a basic query for network setting 
parameters, immediately I noticed a difference, which is shown below:

* Box with no problems.
# ethtool -a eth0
Pause parameters for eth0:
Autonegotiate:  on
RX: on
TX: on
* Box with NIC that generates errors, dropped packets and overrun errors.
# ethtool -a eth0
Pause parameters for eth0:
Autonegotiate:  on
RX: off
TX: off
According to the manpage:
   -A change the pause parameters of the specified ethernet 
device.

   rx on|off
  Specify if RX pause is enabled.
   tx on|off
  Specify if TX pause is enabled.
# ethtool -A eth0 rx on
# ethtool -A eth0 tx on
My machine now:
# ethtool -a eth0
Pause parameters for eth0:
Autonegotiate:  on
RX: on
TX: on
Then, I re-run the dd command mentioned earlier and let it run for about 
ten minutes, long and behold not a single dropped packet, overrun or frame
error reported!

  RX packets:6157606 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
Previously, this is what I would get after only a minute of running that 
dd command (I also get the errors copying files etc, dd command just 
speeds things up):

  RX packets:6374096 errors:1419 dropped:1419 overruns:1419 frame:0
Afterwards, I no longer have any errors:
To the Intel/Kernel guys:
Question, these are identical machines for the most part, even the same 
nics are used in each box, why in 2.6.5 are the settings set differently 
than that in 2.6.10?  I do not believe that it is a distribution specific 
error as I did not even have ethtool installed before I checked this nor 
do I see it any boot scripts?  For now, I will just have it set the 
proper settings -A tx on and -A rx on but is there another way to do this 
or did it change in the kernel at some point?

Further investigation reveals on my main machine with an onboard Intel/PRO 
1000 built-in NIC which runs on the CSA bus (A-Bit IC7-G) the pause 
feature is also off; HOWEVER, (2.6GHZ w/HT) this machine does not exhibit 
any errors!

  RX packets:2471666 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:56413066 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Is it a bug that it defaults to off in the newer kernel versions, as it 
causes MASSIVE errors on the RX side of the fence?  Or should people who 
run gigabit interfaces on slower machines just add the ethool commands to 
their startup scripts to avoid the errors/etc?

There may be some parallel between speed_OF_CPU and whether it can 
handle it with the pause option on or off.  If anyone has any idea of what 
the pause option is about and why it changed from 2.6.5 to 2.6.10, I'd 
like to know!

Thanks!

Re: Question on CONFIG_IRQBALANCE / 2.6.x

2005-02-20 Thread Martin J. Bligh
  there's something I don't understand:  With IRQBALANCE *enabled* almost
  all interrupts are processed on CPU0.  This changed in an unexpected way
  after disabling IRQBALANCE: now all interrupts are distributed uniformly
  to both CPUs.  Maybe it's intentional, but it's not what I expect when a
  config option named IRQBALANCE is *disabled*.
  
  Can anybody comment on this?
 
 If you have a Pentium 3 based system, by default they'll round robin.
 If you turn on IRQbalance, they won't move until the traffic gets high
 enough load to matter. That's presumably what you're seeing.
 
 It's an Athlon box that propably has the same behaviour.  Just another
 question on this topic:  with IRQBALANCE enabled, almost all interupts
 are routet to CPU0.  Lately irq 0 runs on CPU1 and never returns to CPU0
 - is there any obvious reason for that?

If it's not getting interrupts at 1010 per second or so, it won't rotate
them, on the grounds it's not worthwhile.

 You should see them moving around if you do 'ping -f' or a big 'dd' from

Why is it broken to move NIC interrupts? Obviously you don't want to

 Interrupt balancing doesn't do anything on my system.

 I enabled the debugging and found that it doesn't think it's worth the
 effort. Is that correct? Not a complaint, just curious!

I think it's nothing to do with HT, just the rate you're sending intterrupts
at isn't high enough to bother rotating.

[PATCH][2.6.11-rc3-mm2] perfctr-2.7.10 API update 1/4: common

2005-02-20 Thread Mikael Pettersson
Andrew,

This set of patches form the first half of a major perfctr API update.
The goal is to change the upload-new-control-data system call to be
much more generic and independent of struct layouts. To this end the
upload-new-control-data syscall will become
ret = sys_vperfctr_write(fd, namespace, data, datalen)
where namespace determines how data is to be interpreted. Initially
there will probably be one namespace for perfctr's software state,
and one CPU-specific namespace for pure hardware state; the latter
will probably be expressed generically as a reg.nr, reg.value array.

This API change will however require that the write() operation doesn't
imply a (re)start of the context, since usually more than one write will
be needed to upload all control data. Therefore this first set of patches
alter the API so that control data uploads and parameterless state changes
are performed by different system calls. The current control() call becomes
a light-weight write() call, but still using the old control data layout.
A new unified control() call is introduced for state changes, replacing and
extending the current unlink() and iresume() calls.

perfctr-2.7.10 update, 1/4:
- Added new sys_vperfctr_control(), with UNLINK, SUSPEND,
  RESUME, and CLEAR sub-commands. Deleted sys_vperfctr_unlink()
  and sys_vperfctr_iresume(). Changed sys_vperfctr_write()
  to only update control data and not reenable the context.
  RESUME now works both for resuming after overflow interrupts
  and for restarting after changing control data.
- Renamed old sys_vperfctr_control() to sys_vperfctr_write().

Frequent Oops on Shutdown 2.6.10

2005-02-20 Thread AndyLiebman
Hi, 
I compiled the 2.6.10 kernel with HyperThreading optimization (I'm  running a 
3.06 Ghz single Xeon processor with HT enabled). More or less, I'm  running 
Mandrake 10 Official, but with my own kernel. Can anybody help explain  why I'm 
getting this Oops on shutdown? It doesn't happen all the time -- about  50 
percent of the time. Never happens with the 2.6.6 kernel. I configured the  
2.6.10 kernel with mostly the same settings -- saying no to everything new,  
except optimizing for P4/Xeon processor, enabling HT optimization, and NOT  
enabling lots of ham radio and ISDN stuff that seemed to be enabled in the  
Mandrake kernel. 
 
Some relevant things about the machine: 
Single Xeon 3.06 processor
2 GB ECC RAM
2x 3ware 9500S-8 SATA RAID Cards
16 SATA drives
2 built-in GigE ports on motherboard
2 Intel 1000 MT Server Adapters on each of the two 133 Mhz  PCI-X slots

GL520SM Sensor Chip driver fix

2005-02-20 Thread Adam 'dredzik' Kuczynski
Hi,
I've been recently trying to get my lmsensors working under
2.6.9, and i've found this:

http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2005/Feb/2856.html
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/2/11/90

kernel patch for gl520 chip, but after applying it kernel refused to
compile. So I've fixed it using gl518sm module source code and I want to
share the results of my work with you. I hope that it will be useful.

I've tested this on my machine and it works fine.

Bye

Greg,
I took a look for other references similar to those in my first take at 
this and found a couple more files.
Attached is another patch that hopefully addresses the all the similar 
cases.  I tried it on today's (-bk8) kernel,
with all i2c switches enabled.

What makes you think mark_offset_tsc is slow? Do you have any comparative 
numbers?  It might just be that the workload you are throwing at it justifies 
it. (For e.g. if your workload does a zillion system calls, system_call will 
show up as a hot spot in oprofile - doesn't necessarily mean it is slow - 
it's just overused.) Can you post the relevant code?

Report it to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/. Maybe you'll get help there. 
But bugs are _very_ hardware specific, so just a few people will have 
a similar problem and most of this people are just normal users -- not 
Linux Kernel developers. The developer (people who are familiar with the 
kernel code and who are maybe able to fix this problem) aren't able to 
reproduce this error and test code to get it working. So they're maybe 
(without knowing anything about the hardware (maybe it's broken 
hardware?)) not able to say something specific about the hardware -- 
they can just guess.
You see it's very difficult to fix such irq problems because some 
factors can cause such an error.
Maybe contacting specific malinglists (e.g. for broken pci cards the 
pci mailinglist, etc.), maintainers or developers would be more 
efficient (cc the lkml) and solve your problem (faster), because this 
people are specialists are this type of hardware (e.g. pci).

What hardware is connect through irq 5?

 Your BIOS is broken.  You probably have 1GB of RAM which extends from
 0x to 0x4000.  However, there's a hole in the ACPI map
 between 0x3fefa000 and 0x3ff0.

Good point. And dammit, we've had that problem too many times before.

And I think the reason for that bug is that we use max_low_pfn to 
determine where we should start allocating PCI memory. We actually round 
it up to the next megabyte, which _should_ have made us not allocate in 
that small region (the last usable page is 0x3fef, rounded up to the 
nearest megabyte is 0x3ff0, which is marked as reserved, so we 
_should_ have allocated above that quite nicely).

However, we are screwed by the fact that max_low_pfn is actually limited
by MAXMEM_PFN, which is the kernel _mappable_ memory, so MAXMEM is
actually much less than one megabyte (it's one megabyte minus
VMALLOC_RESERVE, which defaults to 128MB).

But the PCI allocations are not at all limited by MAXMEM - they want to be 
in the low 4GB, but that's the only real limit. So using max_low_pfn to 
determine where to start PCI allocations is pretty bogus.

I'll try to write something that actually looks at the e820 memory map 
properly.

First of all, Matthias-Christian, thank you very much for your kind
answer.

I have already tried contacting the linux-ide mailing list as a CC to my
earlier messages, but I got no response. I am including some details in
this e-mail. I included Bartlomiej in the CC, as he is listed as general
IDE maintainer in the MAINTAINERS file.

 Report it to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/. Maybe you'll get help there.

Thanks. I will try filing a bug on that system as soon as I get the
reply to create my account there.

(...)
 You see it's very difficult to fix such irq problems because some factors
 can cause such an error.

Yes, I understand that.

 Maybe contacting specific malinglists (e.g. for broken pci cards
 the pci mailinglist, etc.), maintainers or developers would be more
 efficient (cc the lkml) and solve your problem (faster), because
 this people are specialists are this type of hardware (e.g. pci).
 
 What hardware is connect through irq 5?

In my case, my problem is not with irq 5, but with irq 10, as I
mentioned earlier.

The situation is this: I have an Asus A7V motherboard with 2 VIA
vt82c686a controllers and 2 Promise PDC20265 controllers.

I recently bought myself a new DVD recorder and since Alan Cox told
me[*] that the Promise controllers had problems with ATAPI devices, I
decided to arrange my system this way:

/dev/hda: the DVD recorder (VIA controller, master)
/dev/hdc: an old CD recorder (VIA controller, master)
/dev/hde: my first HD (Promise controller, master)
/dev/hdg: my second HD (Promise controller, master)

The Promise controller is able to control the HDs (which now have
exclusive 80-pin cables) at their maximum, but I get the following
stack trace if I have /dev/hdg turned on:

[PATCH][2.4] Fix timer override on nforce

2005-02-20 Thread Zwane Mwaikambo
Per our discussion, i've ported the 2.6 nforce skip timer override (and 
early PCI access) code to 2.4. This fixes an issue whereupon nforce 
systems have incorrect override values for irq0. Architectures affected 
are i386 and x86_64

I see this panic when booting 2.6.11-rc4 (plus some of my own patches...but my 
modules
have not loaded at the point of the crash).
The system is a Shuttle system with the FB65 motherboard.  CPU is 3.0Ghz P4 with
1MB cache and hyperthreading.  HD is an 80GB SATA disk.  NVIDIA card is 
installed
(but I have not installed the NVIDIA drivers).
The system boots the latest FC2 kernel (2.6.10-1-something) fine, and other
FC2 kernels too.  The system hangs trying to discover hardware
when I try to boot a 2.6.9 kernel I compiled...
Also, the system will not save it's BIOS settings.  I'm not sure exactly
what that indicates, other than potentially flaky hardware of some sort...
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks,
Ben

First of all, Matthias-Christian, thank you very much for your kind
answer.
I have already tried contacting the linux-ide mailing list as a CC to my
earlier messages, but I got no response. I am including some details in
this e-mail. I included Bartlomiej in the CC, as he is listed as general
IDE maintainer in the MAINTAINERS file.
 

Report it to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/. Maybe you'll get help there.
   

Thanks. I will try filing a bug on that system as soon as I get the
reply to create my account there.

You see it's very difficult to fix such irq problems because some factors
can cause such an error.
   

Yes, I understand that.
 

Maybe contacting specific malinglists (e.g. for broken pci cards
the pci mailinglist, etc.), maintainers or developers would be more
efficient (cc the lkml) and solve your problem (faster), because
this people are specialists are this type of hardware (e.g. pci).
What hardware is connect through irq 5?
   

In my case, my problem is not with irq 5, but with irq 10, as I
mentioned earlier.
The situation is this: I have an Asus A7V motherboard with 2 VIA
vt82c686a controllers and 2 Promise PDC20265 controllers.
I recently bought myself a new DVD recorder and since Alan Cox told
me[*] that the Promise controllers had problems with ATAPI devices, I
decided to arrange my system this way:
/dev/hda: the DVD recorder (VIA controller, master)
/dev/hdc: an old CD recorder (VIA controller, master)
/dev/hde: my first HD (Promise controller, master)
/dev/hdg: my second HD (Promise controller, master)
The Promise controller is able to control the HDs (which now have
exclusive 80-pin cables) at their maximum, but I get the following
stack trace if I have /dev/hdg turned on:

Hi!
I'm not IDE specialist, but what about operating systems? Did you try a 
Windows or BSD CD (try it with a Windows 2000/XP CD, if you have one, 
else burn a NetBSD or FreeBSD/DragonflyBSD CD -- this is important to 
see if it's a linux bug or acpi bug)? Anyway this is very strange.

Good luck!

proc path_walk glitch ?

2005-02-20 Thread Der Herr Hofrat

HI !

 I noticed a slight proc filesystem strangness in the 2.4.2X and 2.6.X 
 (atleast up to 2.6.8).  Assuming that process 8655 exists and is running 
 long enough (ls -lR / or so)

cd /proc/8655
kill -9 8655
ls
/usr/bin/ls: .: Stale NFS file handle

open(., O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ESTALE (Stale NFS 
file handle)  from  fs/namei.c - link_path_walk :

int fastcall link_path_walk(const char * name, struct nameidata *nd)
{
struct dentry *dentry;
struct inode *inode;
int err;
unsigned int lookup_flags = nd-flags;

while (*name=='/')
name++;
if (!*name)
goto return_reval;
...

return_reval:
/*
 * We bypassed the ordinary revalidation routines.
 * Check the cached dentry for staleness.
 */
dentry = nd-dentry;
if (dentry  dentry-d_op  dentry-d_op-d_revalidate) {
err = -ESTALE;
if (!dentry-d_op-d_revalidate(dentry, 0)) {
d_invalidate(dentry);
break;
}
}


 Why does return_reval return -ESTALE instead of -ENOENT here - might need an
extra check on what filesystem this is working on ?

/usr/bin/ls: .: no such file or directory

 would seem more meaningfull to me when I find it in a logfile.

thx !

Re: Wake-on-LAN/PCI Linux support

2005-02-20 Thread Piotr Rzezniczak
 Does Linux currently support Wake-on-LAN/PCI? I have a 3Com
 3c905 TX-M NIC which supports wake-on-LAN and wake-on-PCI.
 On Windows XP, I have configured the system so that I can use
 ether-wake to wake up mysystem from standby/hibernation
 remotely through the network.  
(cut) 
 However, when I shut down linux by using init 0, the system
 gets totally shut down, including the NIC. The switch port for
 the NIC shows the card is not mantaining the link and thus,
 ether-wake is totally useless. 

I found the following solution for the same problem:
- use standard 3c59x driver from kernel sources (even for 3c90x cards)
- load this driver as a kernel module
- add the following entry in /etc/modules:
  cut 
 3c59x options=0x408
  cut 

Wake-on-lan works properly now with 3com 905cx-tx-m card (3c905c) on my 
Debian 3.1 (unstable) and 2.6.10 kernel

6300ESB watchdog driver

2005-02-20 Thread David Härdeman
Hi
I wrote earlier to the list[1] asking for a driver for the watchdog 
included in the 6300ESB chipset. I got a 2.4 driver via private email 
from Ross Biro which I've changed into what I hope resembles a 2.6 
driver (which was done by looking a lot at the watchdog drivers already 
in the 2.6 tree).

I've attached the result, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on the 
coding as a first step. I can't actually test it on the hardware right 
now as I won't have physical access until April. So my own tests have 
been limited to compiles-without-warnings and 
can-be-insmodded-in-other-machine-without-oops.

As I said, it's the first thing I've ever written, so I'm guessing it 
has a few rough edges. Feedback welcome :-)

David

ASUS P2B-DS

2005-02-20 Thread Kari Laine
Hi Vise People,
GH1N2J3JKL - this helps, me to find answers - please keep line

ASUS P2B-DS board seems NOT work very well with default kernel in FED
Core 3.  smp-kernel hangs booting at various stages. I am goig to try
2.6.10 today. non-smp-kernel boots fine. This is my first time I try to
test with smp-kernels so I don't know what I could try. Could someone
give me some directions what to test?

If someone already know this is doomed motherboard might say so I
wouldn't waste time with it. Thanks.

Best Regards
Kari Laine

[PATCH] /proc/kmalloc

2005-02-20 Thread Matt Mackall
I've been sitting on this for over a year now, kicking it out in the
hopes that someone finds it useful. kernel.org was down when I was
tidying this up so it's against 2.6.10 which is what I had handy.

/proc/kmalloc allocation tracing

This quick hack adds accounting for kmalloc/kfree callers. This can
aid in tracking down memory leaks and large dynamic memory users. The
stock version use ~280k of memory for hash tables and can track 32k
active allocations.

Here's some sample output from my laptop:

Re: [RFC 2.6.11-rc2-mm2 0/7] mm: manual page migration -- overview II

2005-02-20 Thread Andi Kleen
 Perhaps node masks would be better and teaching the kernel to handle
 relative distances inside the masks transparently while migrating?
 Not sure how complicated this would be to implement though.
 
 Supporting interleaving on the new nodes may be also useful, that would
 need a policy argument at least too and masks.
 
 
 The worry I have about using node masks is that it is not as general as
 old_node,new_node mappings (or preferably, the original proposal I made
 of old_node_list, new_node_list).  One can't differentiate between the

I agree that the node arrays are better for this case.

 and the majority of the memory is shared, then we only need to make
 one system call and one page table scan.  (We just migrate the
 shared object once.) So the time to do the page table scans disappears
 
 
 I don't like this because it makes it much more complicated
 to use for user space. And you can set separate policies for
 shared objects anyways.
 
 Yes, but only programs that care have to use the va_start and
 va_end.  Programs who want to move everything can specify
 0 and MAX_INT there and they are done.

I still think it's fundamentally unclean and racy. External processes
shouldn't mess with virtual addresses of other processes.

 -Andi
 
 But we are least at the level of agreeing that the new system
 call looks something like the following:
 
 migrate_pages(pid, count, old_list, new_list);
 
 right?

For the external case probably yes. For internal (process does this
on its own address space) it should be hooked into mbind() too.

Re: 2.6.11-rc3-mm2: lockup in sys_timer_settime

 It doesn't lockup with 2.6.11-rc4; I notice the rc3-mm2 has a lot of
 Posix-timer related changes.

Hi Roland

The problem arises from code touching the union in alloc_posix_timer() 
which makes firing go non-zero. When firing is checked in posix_cpu_timer_set()
it will be positive causing an infinite loop.

So either the below fix or preferably move the INIT_LIST_HEAD(x) from 
alloc_posix_timer()
to somewhere later where it doesn't disturb the other union members.

 I've been sitting on this for over a year now, kicking it out in the

 /proc/kmalloc allocation tracing

Nice. I have done something similar for the buddy allocator but never
got around to sending it.

 This quick hack adds accounting for kmalloc/kfree callers. This can
 aid in tracking down memory leaks and large dynamic memory users. The
 stock version use ~280k of memory for hash tables and can track 32k
 active allocations.
 
 Here's some sample output from my laptop:
 
 total bytes allocated: 47118848   
 slack bytes allocated:  8717262
 net bytes allocated:2825920
 number of allocs:132796
 number of frees: 122629
 number of callers:  325
 lost callers: 0
 lost allocs:  0
 unknown frees:0
 
totalslack  net alloc/free  caller
2457600 3/3 copy_thread+0x1ad

The format is not really easy to parse, it probably makes sense to
split the two parts into separate files. I also think that debugfs
would be a more appropriate place to put this in than procfs.

 +void __kmalloc_account(const void *caller, const void *addr, int size, int 
 req)
 +{
 + int i, hasha, hashc;
 + unsigned long flags;
 +
 + spin_lock_irqsave(kma_lock, flags);
 + if(req = 0) /* kmalloc */
 + {
 + /* find callers slot */
 + hashc = kma_hash(caller, MAX_CALLER_TABLE);
 + for (i = 0; i  MAX_CALLER_TABLE; i++) {
 + if (!kma_caller[hashc].caller ||
 + kma_caller[hashc].caller == caller)
 + break;
 + hashc = (hashc + 1) % MAX_CALLER_TABLE;
 + }

The housekeeping that is needed for the hash implementation is rather
complicated. The code that I wrote did a static allocation from inside
a macro, like

#define kmalloc(_size, _gfp) \
({ \
static struct kma_caller _caller \
__attribute__((section(.kmalloc.data))) = { \
.func = __FUNCTION__, \
.line = __LINE__, \
}; \
_caller.count++; \
_caller.size += (_size); \
__kmalloc((_size), (_gfp)); \
})

Then I could simply print out all allocations by walking through the
special linker section. OTOH, your implementation has the advantage
that it can directly match kmalloc/kfree pairs and that it does not
rely on special linker magic.

Andi wrote:

It's not really messing with (changing) the virtual addresses of
another process.  It's messing with the physical placement.  It's
using the virtual addresses to help choose which pages to move.

Do you have any better way to suggest, Andi, for a batch manager to
relocate a job?  The typical scenario, as Ray explained it to me, is
thus.  A lower priority job, after running a while, is displaced by a
higher priority job that needs a large number of nodes.  Later on enough
nodes to run the lower priority job become available elsewhere.  The
lower priority job can either continue to wait for its original nodes to
come free (after the high priority job finishes) or it can be relocated
to the nodes available now.

How would you recommend that the batch manager move that job to the
nodes that can run it?  The layout of allocated memory pages and tasks
for that job must be preserved in order to keep the same performance.
The migration method needs to scale to hundreds, or more, of nodes.

(I'm starting to have visions of vma's having externally visible id's,
in a per-task namespace.)

 nodes that can run it?  The layout of allocated memory pages and tasks
 for that job must be preserved in order to keep the same performance.
 The migration method needs to scale to hundreds, or more, of nodes.

You have to walk to full node mapping for each array, but
even with hundreds of nodes that should not be that costly
(in the worst case you could create a small hash table for it
in the kernel, but I'm not sure it's worth it)

Re: ASUS P2B-DS

2005-02-20 Thread Tim Schmielau
 Hi Vise People,
 GH1N2J3JKL - this helps, me to find answers - please keep line
 
 ASUS P2B-DS board seems NOT work very well with default kernel in FED
 Core 3.  smp-kernel hangs booting at various stages. I am goig to try
 2.6.10 today. non-smp-kernel boots fine. This is my first time I try to
 test with smp-kernels so I don't know what I could try. Could someone
 give me some directions what to test?
 
 If someone already know this is doomed motherboard might say so I
 wouldn't waste time with it. Thanks.

P2B-DS is a great, robust mainboard. This mail is written on one, and we 
have some more in production. Never had any problems with them.

Try deleting the OSS sound drivers under /lib/modules/*/kernel/sound/oss/ .

While I don't run fedora, I had similar problems with SuSE 9.1 and 9.2.
These boiled down to a problem with the el cheapo fm801 soundcard I 
plugged into the board.
The default installation installed an OSS driver that is not SMP-safe. 
After removing the driver, the correct ALSA driver got selected and 
everything was fine.

Hope this helps
Tim

cifs connection loss hangs

2005-02-20 Thread Cameron Harris
Being a wireless user i experience the occasional connection loss due
to walking out of range or something, recently after starting to use
cifs mounts instead of smbfs, I've noticed that stuff tends to break
if i lose connection.
I first noticed this when my bootscript brought down the wireless
before it umounted the cifs share, and it hung the shutdown. Recently
i was copying some files over with a nautilus window open. I lost
connection and the nautilus window  the cp process froze. ps said
that they were stuck in D (Uninterruptible Sleep). I read it's a
kernel problem if something gets stuck in it. umounting the cifs
filesystem didn't even wake up the process, I had to reboot (which
didn't work right because something was stuck with a file open).
Anyone got any ideas on how this could be fixed? 
Thanks

Help - really messed up kernel

2005-02-20 Thread Joshua Hudson
I am trying to install linux on a laptop that cannot boot from cdrom.
I got a stripped-down kernel to boot from floppy, ran lspci to get
the hardware information.

I then reconfigured and rebuilt the kernel for the image.

I built this kernel from stock 2.6.10 from www.kernel.org.
This is the configuration file. I then installed it on a floppy disk
with syslinux, then tried to boot it.

boot: vmlinuz root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1
(my ramdisk is the next flooppy, this kernel is 1.3mb)
Did not load the ramdisk.
I got an error about unable to open root on NULL or device 22,6.
Hmm. So, I ran rdev to set the kernel default root to /dev/fd0 and booted.

Result: loaded the ramdisk, then complained about lack of a valid
filesystem on /dev/fd0

Hmm. I've never seen anything like this before.

With luck you have s_pdirops_size (or 1024) different renames altering 
concurrently one directory inode. Therefore you need a lock protecting 
your filesystem data. This is basically the job done by i_sem. So in my 
opinion you only move The Problem from the VFS to the lowlevel 
filesystems. But then there is no need for i_sem or your s_pdirops_sems 
anymore.

Jan

1) i_sem protects dcache too
2) tmpfs has no own data, so we can use it this way (see 2nd patch)
3) I have pdirops patch for ext3, but it needs some cleaning ...

Ah yes, that crashes. Spotted it in Slackware 10 install CD, but it

You are right. Kernel balancer doesn't move around the irqs, unless it

You should see them moving around if you do 'ping -f' or a big 'dd' from
the disk.
If kirqd is moving NIC interrupts, it's broken.
(and another reason why irqbalanced is preferable)

Why is it broken to move NIC interrupts? Obviously you don't want to
rotate them around a lot, but in the interests of fairness to other 
processes, it seems reasonable to migrate them occasionally (IIRC, kirqd
rate limits to once a second or something).
This has been explained to you before, search your email archives...
The main problem that has been seen in the field SMP packet ordering, 
but a secondary problem observed is cache misses.  Just NAPI mitigates 
this somewhat (no pun intended).

Overall, kirqd should be avoided except in special situations.  It 
doesn't know about such policy things as network-specific or 
storage-specific irq balancing (and shouldn't).

I agree the version variable is outdated, but I disagree that the driver

Re: [RFC 2.6.11-rc2-mm2 0/7] mm: manual page migration -- overview II

2005-02-20 Thread Paul Jackson
 - Give the shared libraries and any other files a suitable policy
 (by mapping them and applying mbind) 

Ah - I think you've said this before, and I'm being a bit retarded.

You're saying that one could horse around with the physical placement of
existing files mapped into another tasks space by mapping them into ones
own space and using mbind, (once mbind is hooked up to page migration,
to quote one of your earlier posts ;).  Ok.

How well does this work with a mapped file if the pages of that file
have been placed (allocated on nodes) using some intricate first-touch
pattern that is only encoded in some inscrutable initialization code of
the application, and that is heavily fragmented, with few contiguous
pages on the same node?

It seems to me that you can't migrate such regions efficiently using the
above explicit mbind'ing -- it could require a vma per page in the
limit.  And you can't migrate such regions using a migrate_pages() for
all anonymous pages in a tasks space, because these aren't anon pages.

Do you have in mind being able to tag such mapped files with an
attribute that causes their pages to be migrated along with the
anon pages on the migrate_pages() call?  That might work ...


  How would you recommend that the batch manager move that job to the
  nodes that can run it?   ...
 
 You have to walk to full node mapping for each array, but
 even with hundreds of nodes that should not be that costly

I presume if you knew that the job only had pages on certain nodes,
perhaps due to aggressive use of cpusets, that you would only have to
walk those nodes, right?

As far as I know: SuSE uses bootsplash, Gentoo and PLD use fbsplash,
RedHat uses rhgb (100% userspace solution, based on xvesa, doesn't
provide graphical backgrounds on vt's - for that a kernel patch like
bootsplash or fbsplash is necessary). I don't know about Debian - they
probably have some (possibly unofficial) support for both bootsplash

Indeed, there is bootsplash and fbsplash for Debian, but only unofficial

Hi!
The first one is allocation error (linuxrc wants to get/read memory, but

Is your Kernel configuration different to the configuration of the 
Fedora Kernel? If so: What did you change?
Not a whole lot, I think.  It's attached.
It's strange that you can't change you Bios settings. Is the write 
protection jumper set to 1 (TRUE/ENABLED)? Is your Bios up2date?
BIOS was up to date, and didn't notice any jumpers that I could play
with.  I was later able to boot this kernel on a similar machine
with no problem, so I think that the problem might be some flaky
hardware...

you want to load your root filesystem into a ramdisk and use it from there.
your kernel command line is wrong. it should have root=/dev/rd/0 or
root=/dev/ram0 instead of root=/dev/fd0.
after loading the initrd, your root filesystem is on a ramdisk.

tidying this up so it's against 2.6.10 which is what I had handy.
/proc/kmalloc allocation tracing
This quick hack adds accounting for kmalloc/kfree callers. This can
aid in tracking down memory leaks and large dynamic memory users. The
stock version use ~280k of memory for hash tables and can track 32k
active allocations.
One thing I've seen once that might be worth adding is the ability to 
mark generations and then ask what allocations exist from generation x?.

So you do something like:
echo 5  /proc/kmalloc_generation
run some tests
echo 6  /proc/kmalloc_generation
Print all allocations from generation 5:
  echo 5  /proc/kmalloc_print_generations
Now you get all buffers that were allocated in generation 5 and not 
released. Not all of these are leaks, but it's easier to wade through 
this list to see what is and what isn't a leak.

Sometimes it's better to summarize all allocations according to the 
caller who asked for the allocation, it makes it easier to see if there 
is an undue increase from certain callers.

Just some ideas.

Merging fails reading /dev/uba1

2005-02-20 Thread Pete Zaitcev
Hi, Jens:

I think this question belongs to your domain, but please let me know
if I'm mistaken, so I can pursue this elsewhere.

I encountered a strange performance anomaly. I do the following:

- Plug USB key
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# time dd if=/dev/uba of=/dev/null bs=10k count=10240
10240+0 records in
10240+0 records out

real0m22.731s
user0m0.004s
sys 0m0.345s
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#

- Remove and replug the USB key
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# time dd if=/dev/uba1 of=/dev/null bs=10k count=10240
10240+0 records in
10240+0 records out

real1m42.622s
user0m0.005s
sys 0m1.518s
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#

So, reading from a partition of the same device is 5 times slower than
reading from the device itself. The question is, why?

To the best of my knowledge, this does not occur with SCSI (usb-storage
and sd or sr). This hints strongly that the ub is not doing something
right, but what that can be?

The ub takes the request processing machinery from Carmel exactly. I am
wondering if Carmel (sx8) exhibits any similar performance anomalies
(cc-ing to Jeff)

That makes sense.  I will agree to make that part work, too. as part
