Bug#594845: Acknowledgement (linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: kernel BUG at /build/buildd-linux-2.6_2.6.32-20-amd64-lNUT1p/..../fs/sysfs/file.c:539)

2010-09-07 Thread Russell Stuart
 You are editing in the wrong place.  The patch needs to be applied in
 debian/build/source_amd64_none.

Ta.  I applied the patch to every copy of tun.c other than the one in
source_amd64_openvz_amd64, and now the my trace is printed as it should
be.  

And with the patch applied properly the problem disappears, so it does
indeed fix the problem.

 The debian/bin/test-patches script can handle this all for you.

Unfortunately the patch doesn't apply to source_amd64_openvz_amd64, and
test-patches dies as soon as that fails.  That is why I was doing it
manually.

Bug#581571: [sparc] long long to double conversion error

 The fix for this was included in stable kernel version 2.6.32.17 and the
 above version of the Debian kernel package.

This bug causes subtle breakages on the buildd (see gmp-ecm FTBFS,
#593193). Would you consider backporting the fix it to stable, so the
buildds could be fixed?

Bug#595927: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: task dpkg blocked for more than 120 seconds

2010-09-07 Thread stephen mulcahy
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-21
Severity: important


I've seen this problem on a number of machines with different processor arch 
(intel and amd). I guess it can be triggered by more than just dpkg but this is 
the case I've seen most.

dmesg contains the following

[60600.580047] INFO: task dpkg:21101 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Let me know what other diagnostics I can run.

  The reason I contacted you was precisely because it went into 2.6.33.2,
  e.g. was already accepted into a -stalbe release. I didn't expect it to
  be such an issue.
 
 That's not likely if people spread FUD about the backlog patches!
 
 Dave, did you explicitly exclude these patches from 2.6.32 when you
 submitted them to stable, or is it just that 5534979 udp: use limited
 socket backlog depends on a1ab77f ipv6: udp: Optimise multicast
 reception?  The former patch doesn't look too hard to backport to
 2.6.32 (see below).

Anybody?
We've currently rolled out our own 2.6.32 kernel with these fixes
applied, and they indeed fix a system crash under our nfs-load. What
else can I do to get these fixes into either Debians' 2.6.32 or Greg's
stable 2.6.32 series?

 Ben.

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Both a Cherry and a Logitech keyboard I own cannot be used at early boot time 
unless one also adds the hid-cherry / the hid-logitech module to the initramfs. 
The attached patch adds those two modules to hook-functions.

For the Cherry keyboard, kernels up to 2.6.32-3 are not affected, from 2.6.32-5 
(squeeze default) onwards all tested kernels were affected. Didn't do detailed 
checks for the Logitech keyboard.

The used devices that exhibit this problem are:
ID 046d:c30a Logitech, Inc. iTouch Composite
ID 046a:0023 Cherry GmbH CyMotion Master Linux Keyboard

Severity level important, since this makes booting with encrypted root 
partition impossible using those keyboards.

 Yes, the situation for your i855 and previous intel chipset is in a bad  
 shape.
 For example look this (but there are other similar reports):
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=594623

 It's both a kernel and a xserver-xorg-video-intel problem, but more the  
 latter. The kernel team is probably waiting to know if KMS should be  
 enabled or not for these chipsets and is working in concert with the  
 Ubuntu one for a common solution.
[...]

The Debian kernel team works closely with the X Strike Force regarding
DRM/KMS drivers, and we generally follow their advice on what options and
patches to use.

We're not working with Ubuntu on this, though we did follow their lead in
blacklisting those chips.

Ben.

pb kernel : kernel 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64

2010-09-07 Thread bertrand

Dear Mister or Madam,

I am contacting you today because my company uses servers with a kernel 
kernel 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64.


We would like to know if this version is stable or not.

The official website http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel; indicates 
that this version is not supported yet. Do you confirm this information ?


Best regards

It says UNICODE mode and the codes for caps lock are:

press: 0x3a 0xe0 0x66
repeat: 0x3a
release: 0xba 0xe0 0x


0xe6 I guess?


Yes.


I also just discovered the right shift key goes back a page in
iceweasel. Here are the right-shift codes:

showkey -s:
press: 0x36 0xe0 0x6a
repeat: 0x36
release: 0xb6 0xe0 0xea


All this looks like one of the few keyboard glitches that linux-2.6
fixes for some keyboards known to be bogus, while other keyboards do use
these scancodes to report e.g. multimedia keys.  Could you try
showkey -s with the older, working kernel?


Stable (2.6.26) which worked fine gives the same as Testing (2.6.32):


When you say Stable, you mean both kernel and Xorg?  Could you also
run xev on your stable box?


I mean the debian stable release. I'll try it on my home machine, which 
has the same logitech keyboard.



press: 0x3a 0xe0 0x66
repeat: 0x3a
release: 0xba 0xe0 0xe6

...which makes me think it's an xorg problem, but I'm not familiar with
how the whole keyboard stack works.


It's a big mess :)


I wonder why the logitech generates so many codes.


It looks to me like a keyboard bug.  Do you see any pattern, e.g. does
the left shift key produce one too?  Do the keys which do produce extra
scancodes form any particular shape on the keyboard?


The only problem keys are caps-lock and right-shift, both upon key press.


Such bug should probably be fixed in the kernel, just like it is already
in atkbd.c for some keyboards.

Samuel


Showkey looks almost identical between kernels tho. I'll check my 
machine at home and see what xev shows.

Which explains why Xorg has the behavior you describe: the logimel model
includes the logitech base, which includes the common navigation keys,
which makes XF86Back from 0xe0 0x6a, and XF86Favorites from 0xe0 0x66.

Do you actually have navigation keys on your keyboard?  I'm afraid we'll
just have to blacklist it in the usb driver according to the usb ID.

 Dear Mister or Madam,

 I am contacting you today because my company uses servers with a kernel  
 kernel 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64.

 We would like to know if this version is stable or not.

That kernel is part of the current Debian stable release (5.0, codename
lenny).  This does not necessarily mean that the kernel is stable in the
sense of not crashing; it means that we make minimal changes to it to fix
important bugs and to add support for new hardware.  However, we hope that
this approach means there are few bugs in the kernel that can cause it to
crash.

 The official website http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel; indicates  
 that this version is not supported yet. Do you confirm this information ?

That may be the position of the OpenVZ project.

Ben.

Bug#595964: Please cherry-pick patch to mount cgroupfs at /sys/fs/cgroup

2010-09-07 Thread Michael Biebl
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-21
Severity: wishlist
File: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686

Hi,

please consider cherry-picking the patch to mount cgroupfs at
/sys/fs/cgroup [1]. This patch will be in upstream 2.6.36 and has been
acked by the kernel cgroup and libcgroup maintainer.
Having it in the default Debian kernel would simplify running systemd, which
uses cgroups to monitor processes.
Without this patch, the cgroupfs for systemd will be mounted at /cgroup
and it would be preferable to not introduce another toplevel directory.

Thanks for considering,
Michael

So there indeed is a favorites key, that makes it hard to blacklist
its events.  I guess it works on testing but not on stable?  Would you
be able to test the keyboard on windows?  I'm starting to wonder whether
your keyboard might just have become dirty and you didn't realize it
because on stable favorites and back don't work by default anyway.

 Such bug should probably be fixed in the kernel, just like it is already

 Showkey looks almost identical between kernels tho.

Yes, but the bug is actually in the keyboard, not in the kernel or in
Xorg: they're just obeying the keyboard.  The best place to fix it is
thus the component that drives it.  The difference between stable and
testing is that testing now uses evdev by default, which doesn't need
setkeycodes invocations to get multimedia keys working.

Are you referring to cgroup fs like cpuset? They would be mounted below
/sys/fs/cgroup.

One idea behind this patch is, to provide a sane default by the kernel, so the
userland does not mount it at random places, like /dev/cgroup, /cgroup or
/mnt/cgroup.

See also the discussion at [1].

As systemd requires the cgroupfs during early boot, /var/lib is not an option.

sysfs does not support mkdir. How will you mount _n_ different

There are other locations. /sys is system wide and not daemon specific.

I remember discussions, where to mount the cgroupfs [1], some while ago,
and /sys was among the recommendations.  More importantly though, it was
said that we should see what the kernel folks do.

With the aforementioned patch, the kernel maintainers have more or less
answered the question and as already said, this patch will land in .36
and the Debian kernel for that matter.

Do you see any problems, why this patch should not be in the .32
(squeeze) kernel?

Bug#596015: initramfs-tools: provide support for scsi_wait_scan

2010-09-07 Thread Michael Prokop
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.2
Severity: wishlist


scsi_wait_scan is a kernel module that waits until all the async
scans are complete.

Debian kernel as well as the ones from other Debian based distros
usually have this stuff compiled as a kernel module and not
statically into the kernel (which is good, because under certain
conditions scsi_wait_scan *could* fail maybe, and disabling the
compiled in driver doesn't seem to be possible).

I just got a bugreport against Grml, stating that Grml as well as
Debian and Ubuntu Server fail to boot on recent IBM BladeCenter HS22
hardware. Having scsi_wait_scan statically compiled into the kernel
is known to fix this problem. Instead of going this approach I'd
recommend to implement proper support for that in our i-t (which is
also the way to go according to the module's source).

My recommendation is to run modprobe scsi_wait_scan by default and
provide a bootoption like noscsiwait to skip this part if wanted.
(Optionally we could also try to rmmod the module after a long period
of time hanging in the init process, in case we notice that there
*might* be problems with autoloading the module; though I'm not yet sure
whether this would really work, haven't looked into the details yet).

I would volunteer to implement that and provide an according Grml
ISO with that feature to the bugreporter for proper testing.

What do you think of that? maks?

regards,
-mika-
