  I have apm in the kernel and it probes as apm v 1.2 but when
  the shutdown -p now command is run, the power is not turned
  off and I have to hold down the power button for 4 seconds to
  turn it off.
 
  Hows it done ?
 
  Do I have to run apmconf -e  (The owner hasn't tried this yet)
 
 Yes. There is a knob in /etc/rc.conf (apm_enable) that forces
 this at startup.

It doesn't work in all cases, though. It sure doesn't work on _my_
machine.

Do you use the Power up at time/date feature of the BIOS?

Re: Serious mbuf cluster leak..

1999-02-12 Thread Justin C. Walker
Ouch.  I can say that our implementation doesn't seem to suffer from this problem.  Could be there's an issue in the use of PRUS_* v. the socket state we use.  The code in my kernel looks like:

in sosend():
if (dontroute)
so->so_options |= SO_DONTROUTE;
if (resid > 0)
so->so_state |= SS_MORETOCOME;
s = splnet();   /* XXX */
error = (*so->so_proto->pr_usrreq)(so,
(flags  MSG_OOB) ? PRU_SENDOOB : PRU_SEND,
top, addr, control);
splx(s);
if (dontroute)
so->so_options = ~SO_DONTROUTE;
so->so_state = ~SS_MORETOCOME;

and in tcp_output():
if (len) {
if (len == tp->t_maxseg)
goto send;
if (!(so->so_state  SS_MORETOCOME)) {
if ((idle || tp->t_flags  TF_NODELAY) 
len + off >= so->so_snd.sb_cc)
goto send;
}
if (tp->t_force)
goto send;

We've subjected this to countless (well, some, I'm sure, can count them :-}) hours of thrashing for web server, file server, and other-server types of uses, and haven't seen any (reports of) leakage like this.

I'll look more closely at the results we see, to verify that we don't have a problem.

Regards,

Justin

After a while, I have determined the cause of the leak to be the
following commit.  Although, I can't seem to find any reason why
it would cause this behavior--reverting these files fixes it.
Any thoughts?

  Log:
  Add a flag, passed to pru_send routines, PRUS_MORETOCOME.  This
  flag means that there is more data to be put into the socket buffer.
  Use it in TCP to reduce the interaction between mbuf sizes and the
  Nagle algorithm.

I'll take a look at the NetBSD code when I have a chance.  Are you sure
you just have not seen it though?  I only see it over gigabit ethernet,
and even then only when doing lots of large writes.  Perhaps it is a
timing issue?

I am only pointing out what I see.  It does not happen with source from
before this change--so what else should I think?  You are welcome to
take a glance at my driver, although I don't think it is the problem.
There are only 2 places where clusters are touched, and they never
become seperate from the mbuf header.  But I don't see any mbuf leak..

Re: Heads up! /etc/rc.conf.site is dead.

1999-02-12 Thread Jay Nelson
I may have missed this earlier in the thread, but has anyone given any
consideration to upgrade installs? If an upgrade doesn't plant the new
default files in /etc/default[s] after an upgrade, we now have two
places and twice the files to compare on upgrade.

As unorthodox as it sounds, if these defaults are meant to be
unchanged, wouldn't a place like /boot/rc, or something similar, make
sense? Upgrades get the new whistles, and administrators can fiddle
files in /etc to their heart's content.

 Right.  Last I looked at PAO the pccard code had modifications all over

This fix looks right.  I've compared the NFS code to the UFS code
as well as looked at the link() system call.  The man page is wrong,
and the NFS code is wrong.  I'll commit a fix to -4.x and after
getting the OK from Jordan, to -3.x too.

It also appears that nfs_rename() is broken ( it leaves namei data sitting
around, so no crash but...) And also possibly other nfs VOP calls -- I'll
have to audit all of them.
