-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all - With 2.6.29 released last week, the maintenance window for 2.6.30 is open. While we eliminated a *lot* of patches between 2.6.27 and 2.6.29, we're still carrying around more than 350 patches. Some of them are needed for our build infrastructure and we'll be carrying those around forever. A lot of them are for things like Xen, swap over nfs, lttng, and perfmon. While I'd like those to go upstream, I'm not holding my breath. I see things like multipath extensions/fixes, driver fixes, acpi quirks, etc that should all definitely be upstream. So, please take a few minutes and check out which patches you own and can be submitted. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknRYK4ACgkQLPWxlyuTD7IJwACgop9HgnK6YsytioztbbRBiUvC eOQAnA4aO7lq1bjENvHFw2Gg31Imfhzi =tk1c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] return addr by malloc
by Indu Bhagat 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

I have a question regarding the "virtual addresses" returned by the malloc call. When I run the same binary with the same input (implying that the program takes the same path), and pmap dump is the same across program runs (except stack), can something be said about the returned virtual addresses? Given that the process maps are identical (except stack), will they be the same? The behavior I am noticing is that they are the same (I ran the program many times). But this is not sufficient to say that they " will always " be the same. My program does not depend on the returned addresses, its only for some profiling purposes that the answer matters in this context. I have an OpenSuse kernel 2.6.20 with libc version 2.5.

[opensuse-kernel] kernel 2.6.29.51 Perfmon and ck804xrom
by rob koendering 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

After I installed the 2.6.29.51 kernel i had a perfomance slowdown of my system Quad 6600 The same slowdown as in all the 2.6.28.and 2.6.29.rc kernels compared to the stock-kernel opensuse 11.1 As i did with all the 29.rcX kernels: I moved the modules from /lib/modules/2.6.29-51-default/kernel/arch/x86/perfmon to a backup the same for ck804xrom.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.29-51-default/kernel/drivers/mtd/maps to a backup Now the system is running at fullspeed without delays in internet and responce in kde4.2.1 So what are those modules as the kernel keeps running when they are gone.? -- Robert Koendering Willemstad Curacao ck804xrom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Kernel 2.6.29 in Factory
by Jeff Mahoney 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - The 2.6.29-final kernel has been submitted to Factory. I've installed it on my 11.1 system. So far, I know at least wpa_supplicant needs to be updated to the version from Factory.

[opensuse-kernel] kernel update --> problem iptables connlimit
by Andre Hübner 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Hello, i try to build latest kernel-bigsmp for suse 10.3 on my own. (I build on suse 10.1 for testing purposes) kernel source is this: http://www.linux-magazin.de/dfn_cert_advisories/suse_schwachstellen_im_open… I do an unrpm and build on my own, spec-File for RPM is unchanged. I also had to update some other packages but building, installing, running is ok but now i have an Problem with iptables and connlimit modul. I add an Chain with: iptables -N MY_TESTCHAIN and want to restrict a port to max connlimit with: iptables -A MY_TESTCHAIN -p tcp --dport 25 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 500 -j DROP execution shows: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name iptables has connlimit-support Files exists: /usr/lib/iptables/libxt_connbytes.so /usr/lib/iptables/libxt_connmark.so /usr/lib/iptables/libxt_connlimit.so /usr/lib/iptables/libipt_conntrack.so and execution of: iptables -m connlimit -h also works and connlimit works with further kernel. I do not really know the corresponding kernel-modul which should be activated. (and how ;) ) Seems not to be included by default? any suggestions/workaround? What should i do now?

[opensuse-kernel] FS again fell back to R/O
by Dominique Leuenberger 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

hi, just now again, the filesystem changed back to Read-Only on my 11.1 install. dmesg shows this output: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen ata3.00: cmd ea/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 res 40/00:14:68:01:15/00:00:09:00:00/40 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata3.00: status: { DRDY } ata3: hard resetting link ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 1029928 ata3: EH complete sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 488397168 512-byte hardware sectors: (250GB/232GiB) sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA REISERFS abort (device dm-0): Journal write error in flush_commit_list REISERFS warning (device dm-0): clm-6006 reiserfs_dirty_inode: writing inode 135862 on readonly FS The last line is being repeated now for many other inodes. Googling seems to point out that a lot of users (a lot also from Ubuntu Interpid) seem to have this issue on their machines, but maintly in combination with bigger drives (1.5TB)... I have a 2nd drive in that box of 1TB and an external USB of 1TB is also attached... just in case that makes any difference. Some users reported that downgrading their kernels (ubuntu forums.. sorry) helped them in this situation. So my question to you all might Kernel Hackers: Do you know of anything like this happening? Interesting links (at least they were for me:) http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/22/147 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/29/41 If there is ANYTHING I can provide (even if we end up with a bugzilla entry as it might be a bug in the kernel) is fine with me. playing to much with different kernels is not that easy on this machine, as it's in production.

[opensuse-kernel] dvb-usb: did not find the firmware file. (af9005.fw)
by Gerald Pfeifer 14 Mar '09

Inserting a USB DVB-T stick (http://www.terratec.net/en/products/driver/produkte_treiber_en_33211.html into a USB port, gives the following in dmesg with current FACTORY, and similarly for openSUSE 11.1: usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 5-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0ccd, idProduct=0055 usb 5-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 5-1: Product: Cinergy T USB XE usb 5-1: Manufacturer: AFA usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice dvb-usb: found a 'TerraTec Cinergy T USB XE' in cold state, will try to load a firmware usb 5-1: firmware: requesting af9005.fw dvb-usb: did not find the firmware file. (af9005.fw) Please see linux/Documentation/dvb/ for more details on firmware-problems. (-2) dvb_usb_af9005: probe of 5-1:1.0 failed with error -2 usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_af9005 I didn't find linux/Documentation/dvb/ all that helpful, but Google is your friend and so I got the firmware and stashed it to /lib/firmware. So, my personal problem is addressed (except that the tuner fails to get a signal "dvbsi: Cant tune DVB", but that may be due to bad signal). However, my concern is that this is really not the experience we'd like to provide to openSUSE users. How can be improve upon this?
