hi *,


before I again crash the filesystems here -- I tried to understand the diffs
between the different versions of linux that worked for me and failed for me
(2.2.7 worked, above failed, see my ~page for the complete story) but I
think I failed here.

Have there been problems found in the kernel that may have caused the fs go
bezerk ? or do I need to try it out ?

Hi,

I could reproduce this problem: There are 256 MByte RAM in my PC,
512 MByte swap, SMP enabled, etc. I have neither Vmware, Squid, KDE 
and so on, but there are at least 19 remote disks mounted via NFS2. 
My PC is configured as NIS client. Currently I am running the
Potato Debian distribution, i.e. the C lib is glibc 2.1, and
the kernel has been compiled with gcc 2.95. 

After about 5 minutes or so ypbind, getty and other important jobs 
die with 'out of memory'. Only the reset button helps.


Regards

Harri

It might be a problem with 2.2.5-22.  Try and catch it with tcpdump.

But can you get it to happen without vmmon loaded at all?

Here at Cloudnet we have several clients hooked up with ADSL/PPP.  The
equipment that the customers use are Cisco 675 ADSL routers.  The ADSL
routers handles the PPPoE stuff automagically.

Hello,

we are running a kernel version 2.0.36 on a Slackware 3.5 for doing
gateway stuff (IP masquerading over ISDN for mail, name service, http)
and file service for 3 Solaris boxes, 1 Linux (RedHat 5.0) and
7 Windows NT machines via samba.

We have experienced 3 "problems" (since January, the last one this afternoon)
on similar cases: a windows box copies a lot of files through the network
from the Linux server. Apparently the network driver dies (cf the syslog
messages).
Today I have managed to restart the service by removing the interface
(eth0), then the module (ne.o) and reloading the module then reconfigure
the interface: the machine seems to be working fine since these operations.

Any similar experiences?
Could it be a hardware problem (we have not yet tried to replace the network
card [an ISA NE2000 clone])?

Thanks for your help,
Yves.

Syslog trace for the 3 "Aiee":

Does anybody has some code, even in a "concept" stage, which would load
ramdisk images, while booting, from files on CD instead of a raw floppy?

I am thinking about it now mostly on Alpha where this should be easier
as both milo and aboot have some idea about underlying file systems;
but I would not complain about more general solutions. :-)  Creating
some kind of a catalogue, like on "El Torito" bootable CDs, does not
seem to outlandish.

I don't think so... Mount the filesystem with the 'nolock' option
instead, then elm will use lockfiles without recompiling (not only elm
causes lockd pain..)

Since I use 2.2.11 I can't switch between channels on my Haupauge
TV-Card.
I have only one channel.

Any ideas?

I'm having some trouble with prefetching file data in my
implementation of an inter-file prefetching algorithm.  I've been able
to predict the next file access as high as 89% of the time, but my
implementation is taking way too long to prefetch the data from that
file.

To measure page read times I instrumented async page I/O by measuring
the time between brw_page calling ll_rw_block and end_buffer_io_async
getting called.  To test the inter-file prefetching, I wrote a simple
best case program that goes though a non-changing list of 500 file
names opening each file, reading the first 32k of the file and
sleeping for a second in-between each read.

In a normal kernel (without inter-file prefetching enabled) this
program spends an average of 4ms on each page read (a histogram below
shows the distribution).  Then to test inter-file prefetching I enable
prefetching; run the program once to let the system learn the pattern
in which the files are accessed; clear the I/O caches with a program
that calls malloc until memory exhausts, evicting almost all cached
I/O data.  Finally I re-run the test program and the inter-file
prefetching is able to predict the next file a do a prefetch on the
first 32k of the predicted file.  My problem is that in this case this
prefetching has an average page read time of around 300ms (again
distribution below).  The code called to prefetch the first 32K of a
file is below.  I'm calling try_to_read_ahead() which calls the same
routines that are used to do the read for the non-prefetching case, so
I'm quite puzzled as to why the same read calls are taking about 10
time longer than when they are called by sys_read. (BTW - 2.2.9 
kernel, ext2fs, and ide disk).

Is it possible that I'm over filling the device que, if so then why doesn't
this happen when sys_read calls to read exactly the same data, just on 
user demand vice as a prefetch.

In any case, any ideas, thoughts or sudden rays of bright light would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time,

Under law, I believe that you can refuse them permission to do the "upgrade"
on the grounds that it is an "upgrade" and you don't want an "upgrade", you
didn't pay for it. It *might* work :) Unfortunately ADSL isn't mainstream
available in the UK. BT is about to finish ADSL trials in London (finishes in
September). Unfortunately, BT use a custom Ethernet card which aint good, but
they might come up with another option/use a card which is supported. NTL
(formally Comtel, formally Telecential) are trialling Cable modems which I
think just connect to a serial port - I think there might be some luck there.

Just my £0.02

Thanx. I love linux - yes I may need treatment, but I would really love
it if when 2.2.4 comes out in the fall, patch-int-2.2.4 came out at the
same time. Us guys here don't judge each other by the size of our ...
but rather by the version of our kernel. Therefore, keep up the good
work and please be this efficient with 2.2.4. Thanx.

allocate the necessary structs for all pages that are faulted in via
read-ahead -- of course some of that won't result in an allocation, but
simply an extra lookup operation.  see below.

well, not store them (although it could be useful to cache them somehow),
but do the lookup and make sure the memory is allocated while waiting for
the original fault I/O to complete.  in other words, when the page is
finally faulted and mapped, we're sure we do only a lookup, and not an
allocation of any kind.

don't worry, i probably don't know what i'm talking about anyway... :)

i'll try to post a patch soon, that will probably explain a little better.
it's pretty simplistic, but i think it will convey my idea.

Linux 2.0 doesnt have a lockd support. You are absolutely right. Linux 2.2
does but if your server is 2.0 that doesn't help

People should just remember to do a make oldconfig when moving
.config to another kernel version.

A simple way is to create a user account for <anybody@domain.com> and in
their $home directory do a "touch .forward" file. Then "vi" the file and
type "office@domain.com"

Then saved it and all mails that comes in for this account will be
forwarded to <office@domain.com>.

Hi,

I've just skipped from 2.2.9 to 2.2.11 (I didn't like some of the problem
reports I saw for 2.2.10), and now I get LOADS of the following messages at
boot time:

(scsi1:0:1:0) Data overrun detected in Data-In phase, tag 1;
  Have seen Data Phase. Length=255, NumSGs=1.
     sg[0] - Addr 0xffc8480 : Length 255
(scsi1:0:1:0) Data overrun detected in Data-In phase, tag 1;
  Have seen Data Phase. Length=255, NumSGs=1.
     sg[0] - Addr 0xffc8480 : Length 255

Looking at the 2.2.11 patch, it updates aic7xxx, so I guess that's where the
version change happened.

The strange thing is that if I wait long enough, it eventually resets itself
into a peaceful state and gets on with life. Something like this seems to
happen every couple of releases/updates of the aic7xxx driver! I guess I chose
the wrong hardware :-(

To be more accurate the hardware is: Dual AIC-7895 Ultra, with Tagged queueing
enabled in the driver (Version 5.1.19/3.2.4)

Same setup for the previous driver has no problems. I've never foung any clues
in the READMEs (Yes I DO read them when I get problems :-)

Thanks for any clues.
Regards,
Steve

This looks like a bug in "xconfig", as it leaves the newly introduced
choice unset, despite there being a default.

I've just checked, "menuconfig" and "oldconfig" do the right thing.

Has Mr Gates been at the kernel source? (well you did say "evil"). Seriously
though, it's scheduler related. Someone please fix this as writing a cd now makes
my 2.2.10 system *UNUSEABLE* since I must have sound to work. Music keeps me
happy. Besides, when this happens, the processor load is all of 4% or so - hardly
enough to cause problems - since it happens on PCI hardware too - it aint my ISA
soundcard (SB 64 AWE Gold) - interestingly, it haoppens when ripping cd's too -
but cdrecord causes less than cdparanoia (my hdds are on one controller, the
cd-writer/cdrom are on the other.). I've already posted my machine specs but more
is available in someone wants. Howz about Alan/Linus comments on this so we know
once and for all? Thanx.

Good morning,

I was thinking about deploying kdb in all of our major projects. The systems
already all have a serial console, and their operation is fairly critical.

Now, before someone kills me for suggesting that I want to deploy a debugging
patch in critical operations ;), that also means that we can track down bugs
which occur as efficient as possible.

If we find a bug and then switch to a debugging kernel on that box, we all
know what happens: first, we will not be able to reproduce the crash with the
debugging kernel, second, it will take ages for this to occur and occur on
some other box which is not running the debugging kernel yet, and third, this
also means an additional down time for switching to the debugging kernel (and
also the 2nd crash which we basically wait for even).

Now, in general having an extended debug utility on the serial console appears
like a real good idea. But I am not sure whether having kdb running in
"standby" affects performance much if it is not used or if there are any
additional caveats we may run into.

Does it interfere with a getty running on the serial console?

The default command sequence ^A appears to be a real bad choice, since it
means "move to beginning of line" in quite a few programs, and is already used
as a command sequence in minicom and screen, both very useful programs if
running on a serial console. I assume this can be changed easily?

Sincerely,
    Lars Marowsky-Brée

Dear Mike,

>Tea, Earl Grey, Hot...

please take one of that and calm down. There are people with no choice
other than ignoring their builtin modems (think Laptop. Think Palmtop). 

There are some software-driven DSP modems (Lucent comes to mind),
which would be very nice having under Linux.

And there is the idea of pulling people with existing hardware from
Windows to Linux.

	Kind regards

I see much the same thing under (extremely) heavy disk load, both on
onboard piix4 ide, and on an onboard aic7??? scsi.

Things it isn't:
  hardware - too many people are seeing the same thing for that
  driver specific - it happens on both ide and scsi, and with both sb and
                    ess cards
  anything blindingly obvious

Currently I suspect something evil either in sound_core.c or sound_timer.c
or (more likely) something scheduler related, but this is wild guessing.  Any
ideas?

the way i have fixed this is to strip out everything in the no_cached_page
branch of filemap_nopage except for the first few lines that implement the
cluster read.  just after the cluster read, use "goto retry_find;".

so do this:

no_cached_page:
	/*
	 * Try to read in an entire cluster at once.
	 */
...
	for (i = 1 << page_cluster; i > 0; --i, reada += PAGE_CACHE_SIZE)
		new_page = try_to_read_ahead(file, reada, new_page);

	goto retry_find;

page_not_uptodate:

I just determined why I was not getting the mailing list.  I
changed permissions on my incoming mail directory by accident,
and the mail was being accepted by fetchmail, sent to sendmail,
deleted from my ISP's, and then forwarded to procmail which could
not put the mail into my inbox so deleted it.

ARGH!!!!!

I've lost 3 days of email at least, however some stuff did get
through.

Could anyone that has sent me an email in the last few days,
please resend the messages again?  This goes for any of the
mailing lists that I'm on.

Also, anyone who knows someone that has sent something to me,
please forward this to them as well.

procmail is a useful subsystem, however it would be nice if it
would file email that cant be delivered into a separate folder or
something instead of deleting it.

Anyone know how to do that to prevent any possibility of a
repeat occurance in the future?

Yes, but try compiling it - it creates a module when you say 'Y' to the

This line is a little unclear. Also, this will only be one division instead
of two (unless gcc already optimizes to this).

Also, is there any chance of a problem from rounding? Or is the buffer
always going to be a multiple of 8*sizeof(long)?

I'm pretty sure it's broken.

I think it got broke along with the other fs stuff around 2.3.6.  What
happened back then that broke the the filesystems?  I will attempt to fix
it, but some insight would be helpful.

Regards,
Brad

I get the following error when compiling 2.3.13:

drivers/pci/pci.a(pci.o): In function `pci_scan_bus':
pci.o(.text.init+0x261): undefined reference to `pci_namedevice'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

I also got the infamous error under one configuration:

ncr53c8xx.c: In function `pci_get_base_address':
ncr53c8xx.c:9636: structure has no member named `base_address'
 
smbfs doesn't compile, but I understand that is still broken, so I'm not
worried.

Hi,

As soon as your thread is sent a signal, the down_interruptible should fall
through. The only thing you have to do is break out of YOUR loop when
signal_pending(current) is true.

So is this "the standard"?  It would be nice if I could make this
assumption in the future.

Ah, wouldn't it be nice...  Has anyone talked about making a concrete
decision on this issue?

I like rth's suggestion about having bus-specific ioremap() instead of a
generic one; then all readl() etc. would go through that, and do "the
right thing" for that bus.  One could add "bigendian_writel()" and
"littleendian_writel()" to satisfy the Linus constraint of making
unusual usage of writel() obvious.

Regards,

	Jeff

The ESS cards _are_ frighteningly slow, nasty cards. Cheap, yes. Mind
you, the only ones I've ever seen are made by Eagle. Other OEM's ESS
cards may be better (but probably not worse). Quite literally, when one
of these cards falls into my hands I break it with a hammer, and replace
it with just about anything else. It's quite satisfying really.

Cheap? Yes. You get what you pay for.

Hi,
I'm kind of frustrated, right now I had to reinstall on the quick my
MacOS on my PowerBook. I don't know if that has something to do with
Alans ac's. But today I got the ac2 of 2.2.11 to compile on my Book, it
went ok as far the process was concerned. Thanks Alan for merging all
the ppc stuff. One thing I don't understand, why the heck has the
vmlinux size grown from two to 6.2MB with the default config??? Can
anybody tell me?
And were there some changes in the hfs support??

I hosed my system TOTALLY, I used xhfs, which I think is a frontend for
hfs support, to transfer the vmlinux to my hfs partition, two times ok,
the third.....
Anyway, maybe a an unlucky combination.

Thanks for any hint, hope to get my my machine back to life. (sorry if
it is an un-wrong/formated) mail
Andreas

What, w/o enabling 'loadable module support'? That should be considered
a bug, shouldn't it? I'll write to Alexander and check...

They all show unresolved symbols, hense no boot.

They all need:

That is one solution, but there are others as well.  MOSIX is
another and SGI or SUN is doing NUMA I believe as well.  I'm sure
other solutions exist too.

FYI.  During "make modules", I get this error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.11-ac3/drivers/sound'
...
maestro.c: In function `ac97_mixer_ioctl':
maestro.c:1554: `s' undeclared (first use this function)
maestro.c:1554: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
maestro.c:1554: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [maestro.o] Error 1

There are 4 instances of code of the form

			spin_lock_irqsave(&s->lock, flags);
			val = card->mix.recmask_io(card,1,0);
			spin_unlock_irqrestore(&s->lock, flags);

with no `s' in sight.  Just to make it compile (I don't actually use
this module; having it enabled for compilation was evidently a mousing 
error in "make xconfig"), I added a "struct ess_state *s;" at the top
of the function and "s = &card->channels[0];".

Linus,

    Please apply the following patch to make ip and nfsaddrs kernel
parameters work in the new __setup scheme. Tested with etherboot and
2.3.13.

The kernel builds, but installs all of its modules into linux-2.2.11-ac1 
instead of -ac2.

Just a FYI...

Have you tried the following:
#setup
losetup -e rc6 /dev/loop0 /dev/cdrom
mke2fs /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop0
#mounting
mount -t ext2 /dev/cdrom /mnt/crypto-cd -o loop,encryption=rc6

or did you something different?

You don't need to :-)
patch-int-2.2.10-4 applies fairly cleanly to 2.2.11. Just on reject for
loop.c that can be most easily done by hand (just remove the lines
marked with '-' in drivers/block/loop.c.rej and add lines marked with
'+' to loop.c)

Various implementations of writel() do stuff to stall the pipeline a bit
anyway.  It's really a convenience/speed tradeoff.  IMHO writel() should
continue to "do the right thing" as it currently does, regardless of its
bus, while allowing saavy driver writers to employ BUS_writel() if they
so desire.

My main motivation is keeping the codebase the same across multiple
buses.  The 'if' has to occur somewhere, if your driver supports
multiple buses.  I would rather have the ifs in a common place,
writel(), to avoid

	void vga_mm_wcrt (caddr_t vga_base, unsigned char reg, unsigned char
val)
	{
		if (zorro_bus) {
			zorro_writeb
			zorro_writeb
		} else if (pci_bus) {
			...use pci_writeb to duplicate above logic...
		} else if (sbus) {
			...use sbus_writeb to duplicate above logic...
		}
	}

What errors are coming back when you attempt to tune the card. Do you have
the tuner loaded, what does it report at start up

So every I/O has an if in it. Nothing like stalling the pipeline before we
probably stall on I/O writes to make things twice as painful.

Ugh. no errors.

At bootup my kernel said:

Aug 12 00:34:36 defiant kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00

...
Aug 12 00:34:57 defiant kernel: bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok

I use xawtv-2.38 and bttv-support is compiled into the kernel.
If I tune the card. No errors occured. 
The channel-identifier from xawtv changes, but the picture is the same.

Well, I looked at the symptoms <g>.  

Alan Cox (as usual) found the problem and suggested the fix:

Seems that the IP layer in 2.2.11 will not register an interface whose mtu
is < 68 bytes.  Since the SB1000 was never intended for outgoing packets,
it had been traditionally advertising an mtu of 0.  

A suggestion to the networking gurus, shouldn't the kernel log a complaint
in such a case?  To silently reject the interface doesn't seem helpful.

At any rate, works fine now!

They are pretty average and generic SB16 equivalents. I've got a couple.
The only problem with them is that the documentation about detecting
the version should be in the fiction section

That sounds like a bad build or something deeply nasty in the PPC merge.
It shouldnt have grown

None.

I just upgraded both my systems to kernel 2.2.11 - one a 486 DX2-80 and a
P166

Very strange thing happened, the 486 wouldnt accept any connections to it
I logged in to it from the console, no firewall problems were logged,
nothing logged in /var/log/secure, infact it said there that the
connection was accepted and not refused.

As soon as I telnetted to these ports locally, it worked again from my
other machine, could get access fine.

anyone else had this problem?

It seemed likd it established the connection then dropped it.

the only other thing that ran on this box between now and when i last
logged into it was a tape backup using the ftape drivers to drive a
Colorado QIC-80 2120 tape drive.

any ideas?

Yes, Steve looks to be right. I've been busy at LinuxWorld so I only

Here is a script you can use to convert all file name:

1, upper2lower:

Have you tried the following:
#setup
losetup -e rc6 /dev/loop0 /dev/cdrom
mke2fs /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop0
#mounting
mount -t ext2 /dev/cdrom /mnt/crypto-cd -o loop,encryption=rc6

or did you something different?

You don't need to :-)
patch-int-2.2.10-4 applies fairly cleanly to 2.2.11. Just on reject for
loop.c that can be most easily done by hand (just remove the lines
marked with '-' in drivers/block/loop.c.rej and add lines marked with
'+' to loop.c)

Here, NFS stops after a while with 0.89H 75% of my cards are affected,
like yours.

Maybe the de4x5 driver is also an option.

As said, a test with 0.89H gave same results here: On 7 from 9
Systems, a network install of a default Linux system was not possible.
NFS halted here. 0.90 worked well on all these systems.

In case you don´t have 0.90, it is in 2.0.37 and I´should have diff for
2.2.11 at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/bk/kernel/for-2.2.11/tulip-0.90.diff
within 24 hours.

Also, there is a 0.91g tulip.c, which is quite good hidden in the second
part of a link on the tulip development page. 
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/test/tulip.c

There are also two secret 0.90 versions:
http://cesdis1.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/test/tulip.c-90q
http://cesdis1.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/test/tulip.c-90z

Please tell me your results.

Donald and l-k members,

I have a production Oracle database running on Redhat 6.0 w/ kernel 2.2.11.  It
is an HP Kayak XU dual Pentium III Xeon w/ 256M RAM.  I have three nics in this
box: a 3c59x (eth0), a DEC Tulip (eth1), and a D-Link with the via-rhine chipset
(eth2).  All are at 100mbps.

eth0 and eth1 behave properly, but eth2 (the via-rhine) spits out "Something
Wicked has happened" into the syslog.  I turned on verbose mode and captured
about 20k of data, including three instances of the "Wickedness".  I looked
through docs and the source (via-rhine.c) and couldn't find any mention of
failure due to multiple nics or SMP.

This behaved the same way on 2.2.10 and 2.2.5(stock Redhat SMP).  I've taken
the interface down for now, so I can play with it if you need me to.  I just
can't take the machine down.

A copy of the ifconfig is located at:
http://www.mattshouse.com/via-rhine/ifconfig.html

A copy of the 20k of verbose output is available at:
http://www.mattshouse.com/via-rhine/wicked.html

The wickedness is towards the bottom, highlighted in red.

Can someone tell me what's going on?

Hi Tom,

You are in the same kernel code region as have been patched to improve
audio latency. There are several too long execution paths in today's
kernels... (like looping through all page descriptions...)

I am not sure that applying the patches would help in your case
since your program is one that has to finish (not intercepting)
execution before continuing - the patches are being worked
on by Ingo Mjolnar.

But I think that this program should fit well into the
test suit for those patches.

Check out.
  http://www.gardena.net/benno/linux/audio/

You should be running with Bus Master / DMA transfers since
it does not handle the non Bus Master case well.

Hi all,

All of you that are having this problem. Could you reply to me with:
a) type of ISA cards (as specific as possible, especially SCSI and
sound)
b) verify that you do not run SCSI/EIDE in non bus master mode.
c) attach a output from vmstat 2 > vmstat.out 
   (play sound, start this command, wait 5 secs, start disk activity,
    wait 5 secs, stop vmstat with ^C

    This was checked on Wakkos machine, and it indicated that no bus
    mastering / DMA was used.
    Note: my SB16SCSI II does not have DMA enabled by default... and
          ISA cards can not do bus mastering on their own.)
   
[I will make a summary]


PS.

I do think that this is related (until proven otherwise)

Check out
  http://www.gardena.net/benno/linux/audio/

But make sure that you are using Bus Master EIDE / dma transfers since
it does not handle that yet !

The worst of it is - the site ***********filters*********** by OS type. This
means that you can't access it if you're running Linux. Actually, that brings
up a question: I have a barclays online banking account, but barclays also
filter by OS type (at least what they get from the browser) - they claim
Linux/UNIX is "less secure than windows " (3.1 , 95, 98 AND NT!!!!!!!!! -
they said this when I spoke to them) - I have made excessive threats to them
about legal action and have several people investigating whether what they
are doing is legal, but until then, is there an easy way to get ns to lie
about os/browser version, or can some of us write some kind of proxy which
lies about os, etc...?? Thanx.

Neither of you got my *point* the filesystem is READ ONLY - hence the reason
why I clearly stated that it was a CDROM. Thanks, although  I had realised
both of these two tactics, and yes, I would have done both on a RW
filesystem, but the point was I needed a way to do it without burning a new
cd.

This question has now been answered. The syntax required was "mount -o
check=r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom"

	What happened to devfs? It seems that the 2.2.x series has been 
interrupted, and it is getting really painful to apply 99.4 to 2.2.11+.
	And well, I know it has being asked a thousand times but, when (if 
we will) will we see it in the kernel?

	Thanks

A newbie question.
In kernel 2.2.x, many functions are declared as __initfunc(),
such as __initfunc(void setup_arch(xxx)), does __initfunc()
means that after this function called, the mem occupied can
be freed ?

Thanks !!!

I see this as well on my machine with dual via-rhine (dlink) cards. One
card doesn't even have a cable pluggined in however.

My network here is very noisy, but non of the other linux boxes with
tulips or ne2k's print anything at all like this. The kernel is 2.2.9

This machine is totally idle, I can futz with it however.

The introduction of the page cache broke RAM disks, which of course
also broke initrd. With a little luck, initrd should start to work
again automagically once RAM disks are fixed. (I'm not quite sure
what the status is there.)

My machine has a single ISA card which is a SB 64 AWE GOLD. The HDDs are =
running of
the motherboard controller. I have two hdds on one controller, two cd-rom=
s (1
reader, 1 rewriter) on the other. This test was performed when ripping th=
e Britney
Spears Sometimes single to create a wav file. cdrecord produces some inte=
ruption, I
used cdparanoia becausethat seems to be much worse so that you can seethe=
 effects.
This also occurs when I write cd-roms, but I don't want to waste a couple=
 of cds
unless you think it's useful in which case I will.

As far as I am aware they are in Bus master mode. The machine was built b=
y myself
and is less than 1 year old (PII 400 Mhz 128Mb RAM, 256 MbSWAP (128Mb on =
each of
the two hdds). I did not adjust this setting so I assume that it is using=
 Bus
mastering mode which is normal on all modern machines.

I already had sound playing, started the command, waited 5 secs, started =
ripping,
continued until ripping finished, waited a couple of secs (I think 5) and=
 then
stopped vmstat. During the ripping there was a horrible "slow motiony slo=
w down" of
the music, like when you hold a tape and physically slow it down as it mo=
ves inside
a tape player. Also, it often "cut's out" for several seconds at a time a=
s it did
once or twice here.

I assume you are refering to the sbs which have a hdd controller onboard?=
 Mine are
on the motherboard separate from the sb64.

If you want any further info, just tell me what you need and you've got i=

Shouldn't cause any problems if the header file is written correctly.
Most check and if it has been included once, the second inclusion does
nothing.  Ought to be removed of course...  but it doesn't hurt anything.

Thanks for the info.

How did the page cache break things?  I'm asking because I am willing to
work on getting RAM disks working again, but I would like to know where to
start.

I've already been informed about this by someone else.  You probably have
Western Digital Enterprise drive(s) on that SCSI bus or other similar drives. 
Disabling target initiated Sync/Wide negotiation makes the errors all but
disappear.  I'm working on getting one of these drives that do the target
initiated Sync/Wide negotiation so I can get this taken care of for 5.1.20.

This is just to ease my conscience, I hope.  I run a large production

I have 256M memory and 800M swap.  This is a stock kernel.  Should memshared
really be > 2 Gig?  Perhaps I just don't know what memshared means.  Enlighten.

BTW, here's an ipcs:

Yup.

It puts those functions into the .text.init section.  The linker then puts
that section (and .data.init) between the nicely aligned symbols
__init_begin and __init_end.  Then free_initmem() frees up all of those
pages, which is called from init() before execve'ing /sbin/init.

Yep... At least posting a link to a site that is BROWSABLE with
something that runs on LINUX would be a lot better!

Not the way to go... :-(

This is _way_ off topic for linux-kernel, but... look at junkbuster (at
http://www.junkbusters.com).  

One of the many cool things it can do is send a different User-agent
string, which I'm guessing is where they get your OS information.

For whatever reason, junkbuster will identify you as a Mac user by
default: "Mozilla/3.01Gold (Macintosh; I; 68K)".  You can change that to
anything else you like: a different OS, pure gibberish, or nothing at all.

Thank you very much for fixing this problem! I was having a lot of
problems with this, and was hoping that I could use the new kernel.
Thanks again.

	There are 2 problems, 

The driver included in ALL kernels does not work with newer cards and
need to be updated. 

2.2.11 breaks ALL tulip drivers, both the included 89H version (that
is useless with a new card anyway) *AND* 91.  I can cope with
switching out 89 or 91 when I use a newer card, but none of the tulip
drivers are woring with 2.2.11.

	I have not yet tried the latest 91x yet, but flat 91 is known
to work fine with the cards, the breakage seems to come with 2.2.11

Thanks

On freshmeat.net get the SMART disc utils. Run them to test your hdd. I have a very
similar problem which occurs when I attempt to activate UDMA on my second hdd. I have
two FUJITSUs, one 6.4, one 10.8. The 6.4 uses UDMA 2 and works fine, but the 10.8 uses
UDMA 4 and doesn't can someone help me with this as my older 6.4 has a 12Mb/sec access
and my 10.8 has 5Mb/sec and it's brand new!!!!

It seems to be related to SMP, I get the same messages with the via-rhine
card and my SMP system.  Works great in my SingleCPU machine, with it and
a PCI NE2K card.

yes it does..

AFAIK you should not be able to access block devices in securelevel 2

Lingering does not solve any problems.

It is only goal is to force blocking until protocol
close to prevent resource consumption by parentless sockets.
It is never (or very rarely) good idea, because we get
whole process hanging instead of small socketlet 8)

We can, but computers don't work with numbers. 

I bet you won't get too excited about a scheme to assign a prime number to
each module and make the priority the product of prime numbers assigned to
required modules.

If you want we can continue this discussion off-list.

You should be ok.
Off the top of my head, here are my parameters:

/sbin/hdparm -A1 -c1 -d1 -m32 -u1 -W1 -Z /dev/hda

This is on an older Seagate drive and it makes a world of difference.
Make sure you have the appropriate chipset support compiled in.

Real good in my experiences..
The one that bites you in the ass the most is '-u1', but I only saw that
on an anchient '386.

I expirienced something similar, and the cause (in my case) was that at the
time of the close(), some data was in the _RECEIVE_ queue. DaveM explained
me that closing a socket in this situation is an error and the socket is
closed as such (ie no flush).

In other words: you have to make _sure_ there is no incomming data pending.

2.7.3 is more picky about exactly where you put your attributes, and I
have it fixed now (so yes, 2.7.3 will be supported still, it's just that I
hadn't been too careful..)

A software modem DSP is bad because it is very timing-sensitive,
no matter how powerful the cpu is.  The very sensitive stuff is
better left to dedicated hardware.  Use the cpu for less critical stuff,
such as running generic programs and tossing bytes/pages to the
dedicated hardware.  
IDE used to be a cpu-intensive cheap disk interface.  They have
implemented DMA now in order to offload the cpu - guess why?
The same applies to winmodems.  (Can you even run several winmodems
in one machine?)

A cheaper modem with compression & the hayes command interface in 
software might make sense.  Putting DSP jobs like echo cancelling and such in
software is just broken.

"Me Too" :)

2.2.9 SMP, serial logitech mouse..

I have never lost keyboard control, and a switch to
text mode and back is a quick fix.

If you cannot guarantee stability of writes, then surely atomicity
cannot be guaranteed either. What if the server crashes after sending
the NFS_OK, but before the data is committed?

As long as the operation read+write is not atomic, can you really
implement such a scheme? 
As Alan pointed out, link() and mkdir() are more useful for this sort
of thing.

    >> For NFSv3, things are of course different, since there the

     > And atomicity isn't specified for NFSv3 either.

Only if you specify stable writes (FILE_SYNC) in which case the NFSv2
rules are supposed to apply.

True on both accounts.  It works great, except it leaves a few blanks
where it knows the port/proto combination, but can't figure out what
process it is.  Maybe I just have to punt and hardcode in a message that
says "[maybe kernel-based]" if all else fails?  Or do I make dangerous
and not-portable assumptions about what ports might be what?  That'd
probably be better left in a readme.  So maybe something along the lines
of "[maybe kernel, see docs]".  That kind of takes the fun (and the

I don't know why the ISDN people just do not ever GET IT.

I refuse to get huge patches every time two weeks before a feature freeze.
How hard is that to understand?

I will continue to ignore the ISDN CVS tree. If the ISDN people cannot get
their act together and actually start sending their fixes to the standard
kernel in a timely manner, I cannot be bothered with it. This has
continued for something like five years now, and every time I explain it
to people my explanation gets lost or ignored.

It's not about sending "a patch".

It's about being a responsible programmer, and making sure I get MORE than
just a patch every f*cing time I anounce a code freeze. I should have been
getting patches for the last half year, and I have gotten ZERO. And I'm
irritated at the ISDN peopl, because this is not the first time. In fact,
I have never EVER gotten a single responsible ISDN developer that stands
up and says "ok, I'll be the maintainer of this, and I'll make sure it
gets fed to Linus in a timely manner".

You still wonder why ISDN is not there? Do you still wonder why I'm fed up
with ISDN people who think they they can just force-feed me one huge patch
and completely avoid any QA in the meantime?

WHY, oh why, is the ONLY time I ever hear from ISDN people when I have
publically announced a code-freeze? Explain that,

		Linus

It's because I forgot to update the length field of the /proc entry.
It's fixed in my current stuff, I'll make a new release.

You don't =have= to do anything with the resource. Many drivers can just
do

	mmio_base = dev->resource[0].start;

because for those drivers the driver documentation says that it's always
the first aperture, and it's always a memory region. So you don't have to
use the flags if you don't want to.

There are other drivers where different chip versions have different
apertures (it's actually fairly uncommon, but it happens, and PCI
obviously gives enough information that it can be worked around), and
those drivers might for example search through each of the six resources
to find the one tey are interested in.

So the code might look something like this:

	int find_io_base(struct pci_dev * dev)
	{
		for (i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
			if (dev->resource[i].flags & PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_IO)
				return dev->resource[i].start;
		}
		return -1;
	}

but that's usually not actually needed.

There's a planned fix for check_region() and friends coming soon, so this
will just work again. None of the drivers I needed had a problem with it,
because they were either pure PCI anddin't bother with check-region at
all, or they were old ISA-like and didn't show up in the PCI address space
allocations anyway.

Expect a update later today,

Couple of patches for the Crystal Semi (now Cirrus Logic) ethernet
chipset. A couple of the constants in the header file are wrong
(obvious by inspection from the data sheet, available at
http://www.cirrus.com/ftp/pubs/8900a.pdf). The net result of this is
that although the driver detects transmit underrun and attempts to
disable pipelined transmit, it never actually manages to turn it off
completely.

Also, the code that handles transmit underrun doesn't treat the
condition as it should i.e. transmit complete but failed, so when it
happens you had to wait for the upper layers to time out before the
frame gets retransmitted.

Both of these are probably only issues on machines with slow and/or
broken buses, so I doubt anybody has actually been affected by either
problem.

Oh, and fixed a couple of spelling mistakes, and bumped the minor
version number by 1.

Patches against 2.2.10.

As just said some time ago there's a simple way to swapout the swapped-in
dirty pages always on the same location on disk (so avoiding swap
fragmentation and taking the swapped out data contigous on disk).

We have the swap-entry information cached in the page->offset field all
the time after the first swapin. It will stay uptodate also after removing
the page from the swap cache in the do_wp_page fault.

We only need to know when the entry is uptodate and I take care of that
with a per-page bitflag (PG_swap_entry).

Here it is the simple patch against 2.3.12:

That is not the case for 2.2.6-ac3 and 2.0.36 which have zero second
delays. Notice this excerpt from 2.2.6-ac3/fs/nfs/dir.c:

static int nfs_lookup_revalidate(struct dentry * dentry)
{
	struct dentry * parent = dentry->d_parent;
	struct inode * inode = dentry->d_inode;
	int error;
	struct nfs_fh fhandle;
	struct nfs_fattr fattr;

	/*
	 * If we don't have an inode, let's just assume
	 * a 5-second "live" time for negative dentries.
	 */
	if (!inode)
		goto do_lookup;

The comment says 5 second but it clearly doesn't.

mount options: rw,nodev,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nolock,retry=-1
	client version	result
	2.0.36		ok ("nolock" is ignored)
	2.2.6-ac3	ok
	2.2.10-ac11	>60 sec persistence when <1sec loop
	2.2.11-pre4	12..25 sec persistence when <1sec loop

Regarding pre4 you seem to be correct though I cannot reproduce the 30
seconds (I did 5 experiments). Still, I think it is questionable behavior
to lenghten the lifetime of a negative dentry when it is hit. Also, this
negative dentry caching makes it difficult (a bit undeterministic
and at least very slow) to signal a remote process by placing a marker
file on NFS. Yes, I know that that is silly programming but there are
a lot of silly programmers out there and in some situations it might
actually make sense to do it this way.

Regarding the caching of attributes for regular files I noticed the
following. On the server the command "ls >notfound" is repeatedly
executed (<1 sec loop). On the client "repstat notfound" is executed
(C source attached) and the mtime it reports changes with the following
interval (just tested, same mount options):

	client version
	2.0.36		3..4 sec conform the default for acregmin
	2.2.6-ac3	1 sec
	2.2.10-ac11	1 sec
	2.2.11-pre4	1 sec

Another pre4 problem is that ls -l sometimes doesn't show one specific
file whereas stat() says otherwise. In this case ls -l was correct.

There are some other strange behaviors in 2.2.10-ac11 (incorrect
ESTALE for minutes, old versions of files being cached entirely)
but mostly they appear undeterministic because of little tweaks
in the kernel e.g. the mtime of the parent directory being older
than 15 mins (still present in pre4 fs/nfs/dir.c):

static inline int nfs_dentry_force_reval(struct dentry *dentry, int flags)
{
	struct inode *inode = dentry->d_inode;
	unsigned long timeout = NFS_ATTRTIMEO(inode);

	/*
	 * If it's the last lookup in a series, we use a stricter
	 * cache consistency check by looking at the parent mtime.
	 *
	 * If it's been modified in the last hour, be really strict.
	 * (This still means that we can avoid doing unnecessary
	 * work on directories like /usr/share/bin etc which basically
	 * never change).
	 */
	if (!(flags & LOOKUP_CONTINUE)) {
		long diff = CURRENT_TIME - dentry->d_parent->d_inode->i_mtime;

		if (diff < 15*60)
			timeout = 0;
	}
	
	return time_after(jiffies,dentry->d_time + timeout);
}

In this case the comment contains a bug: it's not an hour but
only 15 minutes. When I have something reproducible for pre4
I'll mail it to the list.

To me this appears as a no win situation. I wonder if one second really
helps that much. On the other hand more than a few seconds is likely
to hurt in many situations. So, why not making this configurable and
creating something like a /proc/sys/nfs/neg-dentry-timeout to set it or
disable it? The least which could be done is to disable negative dentry
caching entirely for NFS when acregmin is set to zero (disabling acreg).

Well, it's happened just once AFAIK, with the 2.2.0 release. It it also
happened with 2.0, apologies, I barely knew what ISDN was at that time.

As this has gone on for such a long time, at some point there isn't much
alternative to biting the bullet at some stage, and actually _having_ to
accept a major patch.  Way too much has been changed since the time
2.1 was branched off 2.0 (which is basically the state of the existing
ISDN code in 2.3.x as I understand it, if you ignore a couple of pretty
minor patches. Feel free to enlighten me if I got that wrong)>

OK. About biting the bullet: I've been slowly getting into the ISDN
development over the last year. I don't consider myself much of an
expert on the internals of the ISDN state machine etc, but I think I'm
competent enough to be able to generate patches that have a chance of
working.  Would you consider me as your sole contact with the ISDN
developers? If so, I'm afraid that we'll have to start off with you
accepting a megapatch at some stage (perhaps it's best to simply start
off with a completely new drivers/isdn tree).  Once that has been done,
I can take care of feeding you incremental patches whenever there's a
stable state in the CVS.

I'm with you there. However, you yourself mention ISDN in your message
<Pine.LNX.4.10.9908031348480.825-100000@penguin.transmeta.com>, and give
the impression that they (the ISDN people) have the chance to do just that
(as long as they don't "futz around").

> and completely avoid any QA in the meantime?

I have to disagree there. QA is *not* being completely avoided. In fact,
I think that the majority of people using ISDN in kernels later than
2.0.36 are using the CVS code. SuSE for example have it in their
standard kernel; the rest find out they need it when the existing code
simply doesn't work for them.  Hence IMHO the "CVS" code (or at least
certain snapshots of it) has been tested quite thoroughly. I use it at
work to control a dial-on-demand link to the internet, and offer
callback links from home to about 10 people. It's been up since I booted
2.2.9-ac4 + ISDN CVS code 59 days ago now, it's made 2674 calls with 302
hours of connect time since then.  I'd say it's pretty stable :-)

BTW, have you considered completely *removing* all the current ISDN
code?  IMHO that would be better than including the outdated stuff...

> WHY, oh why, is the ONLY time I ever hear from ISDN people when I have
> publically announced a code-freeze? Explain that,

My opinion is: All the core ISDN developers are german, and are perhaps
not that fluent in english.  That may be the reason why they're
hesistant to contact you directly; understandable, I have a mental block
to overcome whenever I have to write a german email, for example.
When you announce a code-freeze, urgency overcomes their hesitance.
Don't see this as an attempt to excuse it, however.  It should have been
avoided.  On the other hand, I hadn't quite expected the code-freeze for
a couple of months... (I haven't been able to keep up with linux-kernel
the last month, so apologies if you've reasoned your timing in some
thread elsewhere).


In conclusion, I understand your frustation at the situation (and thus
at the people involved). However, would you for this one time consider
accepting a jumbopatch (or a new drivers/isdn tree) to bootstrap a
period of hopefully happy cooperation?

Hello!

i was trying to compile 2.2.10-ac12 under a sun4m box, and i'm getting the
next error... AFAIK -ac series are more i386 specific. but i think is worst
a comment about this problem..

compiling using:
make :  3.76.1,
gcc  :  gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)

if you need more info,please letme know... sorry for my poor english...

I think I may have managed to get a useful oops dump out of it on this
occasion; it looks like either a bug in the 3c59x driver, or a bug in
interrupt handling causing the networking code to be inappropriately
re-entered.

This is with my modified trap.c to print things sensibly and then I
add the screen-real-estate wasteing <[<[]> stuff after I type it in to
keep ksymoops happy.

I get the following:

easter:/grasp_tmp9/linux-2.2.10> ksymoops < ~/tmp/oops3.txt
ksymoops 0.7c on i686 2.2.10.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.2.10/ (default)
     -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects

Now note that the very top level of the backtrace is in a module, and
that ksymoops can't cope with modules.  But I know from /proc/modules
that the only module loaded is 3c59x.o and sure enough that "code"
sequence occurs precisely once in 3c59x.o

So what I did was to tediously reverse engineer the make system so I
could rebuild just 3c59x.c without changing anything else except to
add -g (the make system likes to fiddle with various header files
every time it runs) with:

$ gcc -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-D__SMP__ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS
-include /export/grasp_tmp9/linux-2.2.10/include/linux/modversions.h
-I/export/grasp_tmp9/linux-2.2.10/include -g -c 3c59x.c

and then I use objdump --disassemble --source --line-numbers to look
at the source around the bit where the code sequence where the crash
is:

/export/grasp_tmp9/linux-2.2.10/drivers/net/3c59x.c:1634

tx_skb causing a crash in the locked "users" decrement.


Is this detailed enough for you to look into?
