[CC list trimmed]

It's not on that list, but would you mind slipping
drivers-isdn-gigaset-mark-some-static-data-as-const-v2.patch
into 2.6.21 too? It's largely trivial but I'd like to get it
out of the door.

Thanks,

NO!

If you do this, then you must make all *callers* be global too. But they 
aren't. Right now all callers do per-CPU setup!

See for example enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog():

on_each_cpu(setup_apic_nmi_watchdog, NULL, 0, 1);

where "setup_apic_nmi_watchdog()" will call "setup_k7_watchdog()", which 
in turn will do a per-CPU reservation of the perfctl for the watchdog.

So I agree in that it probably doesn't make sense to have NMI/perfctl 
reservation per-CPU, but you can't just change the reservation and ignore 
all the *users* of that reservation that assumed that it was per-CPU.

Is that code insane? Probably. But it probably also works. After your 
patch, one CPU will be able to reserve the NMI/perfctl thing (fine so far) 
but then all the other CPU's that try to do it will fail.

oprofile: fix potential deadlock on oprofilefs_lock

nmi_cpu_setup() is called from hardirq context and acquires oprofilefs_lock.
alloc_event_buffer() and oprofilefs_ulong_from_user() acquire this lock
without disabling irqs, which could deadlock.

i386/x86-64: Convert nmi reservation to be global

It doesn't make much sense to have this per CPU, because all
the services using NMIs run on all CPUs. So make it global.

This also fixes a warning about unprotected use of smp_processor_id
on preemptible kernels.

Just the default value for libata.noacpi is changed to 1, so user can
easily reenable it by passing boot/module parameter.

Ugh.. does that mean we'll have 'regression reports' as in 'it worked
ok in -rc5, broken in final?

Well, suspend is currently so broken that we'll be flooded by reports,
anyway, but could we get at least define in code so that we can
tell users to flip it?

Or maybe it is enough to make libata dependend on EXPERIMETAL?
...making it dependend on BROKEN should be definitely enough...

i386/x86-64: Convert nmi reservation to be global

It doesn't make much sense to have this per CPU, because all
the services using NMIs run on all CPUs. So make it global.

This also fixes a warning about unprotected use of smp_processor_id
on preemptible kernels.

oprofile: fix potential deadlock on oprofilefs_lock

nmi_cpu_setup() is called from hardirq context and acquires oprofilefs_lock.
alloc_event_buffer() and oprofilefs_ulong_from_user() acquire this lock
without disabling irqs, which could deadlock.

This patch is totally broken.

 i386/x86-64: Convert nmi reservation to be global
 
 It doesn't make much sense to have this per CPU, because all
 the services using NMIs run on all CPUs. So make it global.

NO!

If you do this, then you must make all *callers* be global too. But they 
aren't. Right now all callers do per-CPU setup!

See for example enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog():

on_each_cpu(setup_apic_nmi_watchdog, NULL, 0, 1);

where setup_apic_nmi_watchdog() will call setup_k7_watchdog(), which 
in turn will do a per-CPU reservation of the perfctl for the watchdog.

So I agree in that it probably doesn't make sense to have NMI/perfctl 
reservation per-CPU, but you can't just change the reservation and ignore 
all the *users* of that reservation that assumed that it was per-CPU.

Is that code insane? Probably. But it probably also works. After your 
patch, one CPU will be able to reserve the NMI/perfctl thing (fine so far) 
but then all the other CPU's that try to do it will fail.

Hey, I'm not going to argue against anything that says "disable ACPI". Of 
*course* it should be disabled if there aren't thousands of machines that 
are in user hands that actually need it (and none that regress).


It's required to access data at all (BIOS-supplied password [un]locks 
disk), in a small minority of configurations.  It's strongly suggested 
for reliable suspend/resume, particularly on laptops, where libata ACPI 
support fixes some suspend/resume problems.


Some BIOSen also want to apply drive+board-specific errata workarounds. 
 That's OK, but ideally we should know about those in the kernel.


"none that regress" is the problem though.  Buggy tables, unexercised 
ACPI code paths, and in a few cases unexpected post-ACPI 
drive/controller behavior expose regressions.




Anybody want to send me a patch?


Since everybody is OK with my plan, I'll send one today along with the 
rest of the post-vacation 2.6.21-rc bug fixes.

Yeah, I don't think this one is critical.  These files aren't in heavy 
use yet, so fixing this in 2.6.22 should be ok.  I've only heard one 
complaint about this bug so far, and that was caused by some code still 
in development.

oh yeah.  Did that fix make it into 2.6.20.x?

I think we decided that make-aout-executables-work-again.patch might still
be a desirable thing to have, but I don't recall the reasoning for that.

Anyway, if it doesn't fix a bug it is nowhere near a high-priority patch
for that seething bugfest which we like to call a kernel, so I'll drop it.

Slightly different fix is already in input tree. I'd perfer waiting

It's required to access data at all (BIOS-supplied password [un]locks 
disk), in a small minority of configurations.  It's strongly suggested 
for reliable suspend/resume, particularly on laptops, where libata ACPI 
support fixes some suspend/resume problems.


Some BIOSen also want to apply drive+board-specific errata workarounds. 
 That's OK, but ideally we should know about those in the kernel.


none that regress is the problem though.  Buggy tables, unexercised 
ACPI code paths, and in a few cases unexpected post-ACPI 
drive/controller behavior expose regressions.




Anybody want to send me a patch?


Since everybody is OK with my plan, I'll send one today along with the 
rest of the post-vacation 2.6.21-rc bug fixes.

I'd prefer to wait until 2.6.22 for this one, I've had too many odd
reports of problems in this area, and since no one has reported this
issue, it's not a real rush at all.

So if you have reported a regression in the 2.6.21-rc series, please 
check 2.6.21-rc5, and update your report as appropriate (whether fixed

FWIW, I'm still leaning towards disabling libata ACPI support by default

Upstream has Alan's fix for the worst PATA problems, but for different 
reasons, I think PATA ACPI and SATA ACPI support in libata does not feel 
quite ready for prime time in 2.6.21.


Scream now, or hold your peace until 2.6.22... :)

here's a new v2.6.20 -> v2.6.21 forcedeth.c regression:

in the last week or so i've been seeing sporadic under-load forcedeth.c 
crashes (see the full oops further below):


 eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0088 RIP: 
 [] nv_tx_done+0xf4/0x1cf


this is line 1906 of drivers/net/forcedeth.c:

np->stats.tx_bytes += np->get_tx_ctx->skb->len;

struct sk_buff's len field is at offset 88, so np->get_tx_ctx->skb is 
NULL. That is an 'impossible' scenario for tx descriptors here - the tx 
ring descriptors are always set up with a valid skb (and a valid dma 
address), and their completion is serialized via np->lock.


these crashes are almost instant on the .21-rc5-rt kernel, but extremely 
sporadic on the upstream kernel and needed very high networking loads to 
trigger. Today i found a good way to trigger it almost instantly on 
upstream kernels too: apply the debug patch attached further below and 
do:


echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic

that will inject 100 artificial 'too many iterations' failures and 
provokes a TX timeout - which TX timeout will crash. (i've used a 
dual-core Athlon64 system in this test)


my first quick guess was to extend np->priv locking to the whole of 
nv_start_xmit/nv_start_xmit_optimized - while that appeared to make the 
crash a bit less likely, it did not prevent it. So there must be some 
other, more fundamental problem be left as well. At first glance the SMP 
locking looks OK, so maybe the ring indices are messed up somehow and we 
got into a 'ring head bites the tail' scenario?


i can provide more info if needed.

Ingo

Yes. The read three times pmtimer is faster and more reliable than the
PIT.

In summary, that fix is a workaround to allow the acpi_pm clocksource
to be selected instead of the pit clocksource, thereby allowing my
Dell laptop with the PIIX4 bug to boot.  Other apic, clocksource, etc.
patches that were included in -rc5 fixed the problem that caused the
boot process to hang when the pit clocksource was selected, as I
suspected would be the case :-).

Per John's message in the above URL, while the fix is no longer needed
for allowing the laptop to boot, it's probably still "a good thing" to
allow a better clocksource to be selected.

here's a new v2.6.20 -> v2.6.21 forcedeth.c regression:

in the last week or so i've been seeing sporadic under-load forcedeth.c 
crashes (see the full oops further below):

 eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0088 RIP: 
 [] nv_tx_done+0xf4/0x1cf

this is line 1906 of drivers/net/forcedeth.c:

np->stats.tx_bytes += np->get_tx_ctx->skb->len;

struct sk_buff's len field is at offset 88, so np->get_tx_ctx->skb is 
NULL. That is an 'impossible' scenario for tx descriptors here - the tx 
ring descriptors are always set up with a valid skb (and a valid dma 
address), and their completion is serialized via np->lock.

these crashes are almost instant on the .21-rc5-rt kernel, but extremely 
sporadic on the upstream kernel and needed very high networking loads to 
trigger. Today i found a good way to trigger it almost instantly on 
upstream kernels too: apply the debug patch attached further below and 
do:

echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic

that will inject 100 artificial 'too many iterations' failures and 
provokes a TX timeout - which TX timeout will crash. (i've used a 
dual-core Athlon64 system in this test)

my first quick guess was to extend np->priv locking to the whole of 
nv_start_xmit/nv_start_xmit_optimized - while that appeared to make the 
crash a bit less likely, it did not prevent it. So there must be some 
other, more fundamental problem be left as well. At first glance the SMP 
locking looks OK, so maybe the ring indices are messed up somehow and we 
got into a 'ring head bites the tail' scenario?

i can provide more info if needed.

Ingo

to be specific, the patch below is what i tried - but it didnt

Why certainly ! I caused them, so I have to fix them. There are still a
few to hunt down and I want to sort them out before 2.6.21 final.

This fix from John Stultz is still missing:

It's in Andrews queue already and waits to be sent to you.

In summary, that fix is a workaround to allow the acpi_pm clocksource
to be selected instead of the pit clocksource, thereby allowing my
Dell laptop with the PIIX4 bug to boot.  Other apic, clocksource, etc.
patches that were included in -rc5 fixed the problem that caused the
boot process to hang when the pit clocksource was selected, as I
suspected would be the case :-).

Per John's message in the above URL, while the fix is no longer needed
for allowing the laptop to boot, it's probably still a good thing to
allow a better clocksource to be selected.

Yes. The read three times pmtimer is faster and more reliable than the
PIT.

here's a new v2.6.20 - v2.6.21 forcedeth.c regression:

in the last week or so i've been seeing sporadic under-load forcedeth.c 
crashes (see the full oops further below):


 eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0088 RIP: 
 [80404587] nv_tx_done+0xf4/0x1cf


this is line 1906 of drivers/net/forcedeth.c:

np-stats.tx_bytes += np-get_tx_ctx-skb-len;

struct sk_buff's len field is at offset 88, so np-get_tx_ctx-skb is 
NULL. That is an 'impossible' scenario for tx descriptors here - the tx 
ring descriptors are always set up with a valid skb (and a valid dma 
address), and their completion is serialized via np-lock.


these crashes are almost instant on the .21-rc5-rt kernel, but extremely 
sporadic on the upstream kernel and needed very high networking loads to 
trigger. Today i found a good way to trigger it almost instantly on 
upstream kernels too: apply the debug patch attached further below and 
do:


echo 100  /proc/sys/kernel/panic

that will inject 100 artificial 'too many iterations' failures and 
provokes a TX timeout - which TX timeout will crash. (i've used a 
dual-core Athlon64 system in this test)


my first quick guess was to extend np-priv locking to the whole of 
nv_start_xmit/nv_start_xmit_optimized - while that appeared to make the 
crash a bit less likely, it did not prevent it. So there must be some 
other, more fundamental problem be left as well. At first glance the SMP 
locking looks OK, so maybe the ring indices are messed up somehow and we 
got into a 'ring head bites the tail' scenario?


i can provide more info if needed.

Ingo

Re: Linux 2.6.21-rc5

I have a few fixes here which belong to subsystem trees, which were missed
by the maintainers and which we probably want to get into 2.6.21.

And random one-liners.

But probably more important, and likely much more visible to most people 
is the fixes for the fallout from the hrtimers and no-HZ changes, and some 
of the ACPI regressions.


Those timer changes ended up much more painful than anybody wished for, 
but big thanks to Thomas Gleixner for being on it like a weasel on a dead 
rat, and the regression list has kept shrinking.


So if you have reported a regression in the 2.6.21-rc series, please check 
2.6.21-rc5, and update your report as appropriate (whether fixed or still 
problems with xyzzy).


Linus



[just got back from vacation, or would have sent this earlier]

FWIW, I'm still leaning towards disabling libata ACPI support by default 
for 2.6.21.


Upstream has Alan's fix for the worst PATA problems, but for different 
reasons, I think PATA ACPI and SATA ACPI support in libata does not feel 
quite ready for prime time in 2.6.21.


Scream now, or hold your peace until 2.6.22... :)

I'd prefer to wait until 2.6.22 for this one, I've had too many odd
reports of problems in this area, and since no one has reported this
issue, it's not a real rush at all.
