I didn't think Trusty would even run baremetal on ppc64el?

Full test passes. No crash with proposed hwe-16.04 kernel and tso/gso
enabled.

[Bug 1715519] Re: bnx2x_attn_int_deasserted3:4323 MC assert!

2018-03-28 Thread r.stricklin
After conferring with the IBM Novalink dev team, we found a way to
exploit some undocumented preliminary artful support in the DKMS, to
successfully install the hwe-16.04 kernel (4.13.0-38) from xenial-
proposed. It boots and passes traffic. I hope to report back later today
or possibly tomorrow with full test results.

Please let me know if this is sufficient testing for applying the
verification-done-artful tag.

2018-03-28 Thread r.stricklin
These Linux LPARs are running Novalink, in a mode that allows them to
serve in place of the traditional PowerVM AIX VIO server. So they're
providing virtual I/O for other LPARs (this is how we ended up sending
64k packets into the bnx2x nics via open vswitch). The DKMS modules
enable that function. It also serves to restrict what we can do with the
OS in terms of trying other versions; the Novalink software is supported
only on Xenial. Trying to rebuild a machine on artful without Novalink
means none of the other LPARs on that machine will run, which will be
very disruptive for us, even on a test machine.

We could probably find a way to test artful on a VM, but then that would
be using a virtual ethernet adapter and we wouldn't be testing the bnx2x
code. I don't know if that would be valuable to you?

We're not set up to test the artful kernel, but I can envision a near-
to-mid-term future where we will need this patch to be present in the
artful kernel. What's the best way for me to help make sure that future
obtains?

Our validation tests pass with tso/gso enabled and 4.4.0-117 (no crash).
We'll do a couple more tests but it's looking good so far.

2018-03-23 Thread r.stricklin
I was able to install the ppc64el 4.4.0-117 kernel from xenial-proposed.
It boots and passes at least enough traffic to make an interactive ssh
session function.

I'm having some DKMS issues, however, which are preventing me from
validating the patch prevents crash as expected (one of the modules we
need has BUILD_EXCLUSIVE for 4.8 and 4.10 only). I am working with the
IBM development team who publishes these modules to get that resolved
ASAP (they were surprised by this, so we are waiting for answers from
individual engineers, probably Monday).

2018-03-23 Thread r.stricklin
Ok, that works. I should be able to provide basic validation much more
easily.

We are having trouble reproducing the crash with the unpatched kernel,
as we've put many remediating workarounds in place and it's been an
adventure to remember where they all are and how exactly they all
interacted (and also there are some other bugs currently being worked on
in our test environment that affect our ability to reproduce as well).
We know it will crash though, and as soon as we get the test setup in
place to reproduce the crash I'm confident we can repeat it every time
and get a good validation that the patch is solving our problem as well.

If we still can't reproduce the crash by COB Monday, I'll switch gears
to provide just a basic boot/function validation and will make sure I
get that to you by Tuesday at the latest.

We only have the environment to test xenial ppc64el. We have xenial and
trusty x86_64, but not with bnx2x. We don't have artful anywhere that I
can test with. Based on that, I was only planning to provide a report
for xenial ppc64el. Does the smoke testing make sense to perform without
bnx2x hardware present?

2018-03-22 Thread r.stricklin
I am the end user who originally reported this problem. We have been
working with Canonical through IBM Support to get this problem resolved
-- When I last spoke with IBM about this a few weeks ago, I got the
impression we'd have a little extra time to perform verification (e.g.
the test period would be between 18 and 31 March) and planned for our
test resources accordingly.

I now see that we'd need to perform verification by the 23rd, or
possibly 26th? I will do what I can do increase urgency but even having
a couple extra days would go a long way to help us get the verification
done.

Please let me know ASAP if this is or is not possible.

This is what I do. I've successfully applied it to the bash source

called 'logbash'.
