Bug#940530: Add CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_SDIO=y to linux-image-rpi
Package: linux-image-4.19.0-6-rpi Version: 4.19.67-2 The linux-image-rpi kernel for armel does not include CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_SDIO=y. This config option is necessary to support the WiFi on the Raspberry Pi Zero W. I have verified that enabling this option fixes the problem on my Pi Zero W by building a version of the kernel package with the option enabled following https://wiki.debian.org/HowToCrossBuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage. I installed Debian using the images available here: https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPiImages

During the installation process I had to grab one of the unofficial CD images containing the non-free firmware to get that downloaded. My internet has ~10MB/s upload/download speed, and on my other computers the speeds are near this limit and are consistently at that speed. However, usually speeds on this wireless card are abnormally at 100-200kB/s, sometimes as low as 30-50kB/s. Furthermore, it often unpredictably switches between such low speeds and 1MB/s speed (which is acceptable). I first attempted to upgrade the firmware to their absolute latest versions, which did not improve the situation. I also noticed that in the brcmfmac description that there's a file for rev. 5+ card but that brcmfmac is only loading the rev. 4 and below card. I wonder if that might be part of the problem. Anyway, here's some diagnostic information: $ inxi -Fx System:Host: 4 Kernel: 4.19.0-5-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 3.8.8 Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Machine: Type: Laptop System: Dell product: XPS 13 9350 v: N/A serial: Mobo: Dell model: 07TYC2 v: A00 serial: UEFI: Dell v: 1.10.1 date: 01/22/2019 Battery: ID-1: BAT0 charge: 48.7 Wh condition: 51.5/57.5 Wh (89%) model: SMP DELL JHXPY53 status: Unknown CPU: Topology: Dual Core model: Intel Core i5-6200U bits: 64 type: MT MCP arch: Skylake rev: 3 L2 cache: 3072 KiB flags: lm nx pae sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3 vmx bogomips: 19200 Speed: 500 MHz min/max: 400/2800 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 500 2: 500 3: 500 4: 500 Graphics: Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 520 vendor: Dell Skylake GT2 driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 3200x1800~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2) v: 4.5 Mesa 18.3.6 direct render: Yes Audio: Device-1: Intel Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio vendor: Dell driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 00:1f.3 Sound Server: ALSA v: k4.19.0-5-amd64 Network: Device-1: Broadcom Limited BCM4350 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Dell driver: brcmfmac v: kernel port: f040 bus ID: 3a:00.0 IF: wlp58s0 state: up mac: 30:52:cb:81:ef:1d Drives:Local Storage: total: 238.47 GiB used: 15.24 GiB (6.4%) ID-1: /dev/nvme0n1 vendor: Samsung model: PM951 NVMe 256GB size: 238.47 GiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 225.49 GiB used: 14.94 GiB (6.6%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/nvme0n1p2 ID-2: swap-1 size: 7.87 GiB used: 294.7 MiB (3.7%) fs: swap dev: /dev/nvme0n1p3 Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 39.0 C mobo: 27.8 C Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A Info: Processes: 240 Uptime: 11h 18m Memory: 7.66 GiB used: 3.03 GiB (39.5%) Init: systemd runlevel: 5 Compilers: gcc: 8.3.0 clang: 7.0.1-8 Shell: bash v: 5.0.3 inxi: 3.0.32 $ sudo dmesg | grep brcm [4.511409] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac [4.511475] brcmfmac :3a:00.0: enabling device ( -> 0002) [4.636428] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac4350-pcie for chip BCM4350/8 [4.641489] brcmfmac :3a:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware brcm/brcmfmac4350-pcie.bin [4.641508] brcmfmac :3a:00.0: firmware: failed to load brcm/brcmfmac4350-pcie.txt (-2) [4.641576] brcmfmac :3a:00.0: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4350-pcie.txt failed with error -2 [4.981502] bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load brcm/BCM-0a5c-6412.hcd (-2) [4.981532] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM-0a5c-6412.hcd failed with error -2 [4.981534] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM-0a5c-6412.hcd not found [5.085081] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac4350-pcie for chip BCM4350/8 [5.085100] brcmfmac :3a:00.0: firmware: failed to
Proposal/Guidelines for working on *-security branches in packaging repository
Hi I was pondering for a while to try to start this discussion. And it is more a collection of some thoughs. Recently more people have started to work to as well commit fixes for CVEs into the respective *-security branches. This is very good news indeed :) and is very encouraging to see contributions! I started to think we might want to outline some guidelines what to commit on *-security branches while we are yet UNRELEASED. Two preliminary points have to be stated to make the idea clear: - Not every CVE fix needs really a DSA or an "urgent" release via security, many fixes go in as well via import of upstream stable releases and scheduled in point releases. - If a security upload needs to be done, and there is in particular an ABI bump involved, then more needs to be done (bump ABI, make a new linux-latest upload, packages need to go through NEW on security-master and need manual intervention from ftp-masters, the later is as well then in twice instance needed for now from ftp-masters for signed kernel as well). So my idea was to bring this up here for discussion: I think while working on *-security branches and keep the possibilty to release "fast" updates without ABI bump via security, whenever needed for an "urgent" fix -- I would propose as guideline -- commits can, and are *encouraged* to be added, if there is no ABI break. If there is an ABI break and the fix is not very urgent, then rather keep if off for the time beeing. Whenever then an urgent fix is needed which in any case requires an ABI bump then it's safe to add as well other less urgent commits for CVEs. So as idea "try to always keep *-security branches safe for 'easy to process' uploads. What contributors think? Does this make sense to have somewhere written properly out and documented? Regards, Salvatore
Bug#940105: linux: serious corruption issue with btrfs
I had a look at and it appears to have gone into both 5.3 (final) and 5.2.15. For what it's worth, it took only a day or so to exhibit the issue on our (admittedly active) nginx/postgres/PHP server; we weren't doing any unusual work during that time. If you're using btrfs, and you can't apply a patch to the backports kernel, it'd be a good idea to revert to a 4.19 kernel for the time being. -- Laurence "GreenReaper" Parry

Bug#940105: linux: serious corruption issue with btrfs
We seem to have run into this yesterday on a production server sing a custom compile of the 5.2.9 buster-backports kernel. nginx was hung in D status, sync hung as well, no obvious reason for it; I ended up having to reset the machine. On boot I found we had lost several hours of logs and worse, several user data files supposedly saved during that time. A small but noticeable increase in iowait accompanied the start of the lost logs and continued until the hang. I guess I was lucky we did not lose more - at least, I *hope* not, because it is hard to be sure of that without a byte-by-byte verification... Don't know if it is related, but the behaviour of this kernel has also been to significantly increase the size of the slab cache of dentries/inodes during rsync, resulting in fragmentation and a massive increase in the amount of free memory (despite setting vm.vfs_cache_pressure=1 in an attempt to remedy it). I can of course compile my own kernel, but I concur with Christoph's assessment of this bug's severity and would encourage a new backports release ASAP. -- Laurence "GreenReaper" Parry - administrator, Inkbunny.net
