[opensuse-kernel] opensuse 11.0 kernel patch justification needed from you
by Greg KH 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi all, As I'm going to be the one trying to manage the 11.0 kernel release, I figured it was time to take a look at all of the patches we have in our tree, and see why they are not upstream already. So, here's a breakdown of all 228 patches in our "normal" kernel tree (I'm ignoring the -rt tree right now, that's just crazy at the moment...) I'd like all of the developers here to at least respond with a reason why their patches are in the tree and not in mainline already. If they patch will show up in 2.6.25, let us know, and we can properly mark it as such. If it's a feature that isn't upstream, and it isn't obvious why, please let us know. So, here goes, broken down by developer: Build system stuff that we need for building kernels patches.rpmify/buildhost patches.rpmify/cloneconfig.diff patches.rpmify/rpm-kernel-config Suse specific kernel markings: patches.suse/supported-flag patches.suse/suse-ppc64-branding (gotta love this one...) Xen stuff: 40+ patches. Yeah, we all know why they aren't upstream, oh well... Apparmor stuff: 48 patches JJ, any plan on getting these into mainline? I saw a posting a while ago with them to lkml, but they didn't go into -mm and I never saw any feedback, nor a repost.

[opensuse-kernel] compressed modules
by Michal Marek 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi, does anyone / anything depend on module-init-tools being able to handle gzip compressed modules? Disabling zlib support would reduce depmod memory usage quite a lot (see bnc#371966 and bnc#350896), because it allows to mmap the modules instead of copying them into memory. Of course, it's possible to keep zlib support in module-init-tools and mmap non-compressed files, it's just more work ;-).

[opensuse-kernel] USB audio driver malfunction - Will Kernel version Update be helpful?
by Kumar Abhinav 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi I am having problems with the snd-usb-audio driver with the following kernel version Linux version 2.6.22.17-0.1-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC The error comes when I play any music though my usb speakers, the music plays but with a lot of cracking noise ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.16rc2/usb/usbaudio.c:1296: 3:1:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x1 ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.16rc2/usb/usbaudio.c:1296: 3:1:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x1 Current kernel version was automatically updated from a previous version by yast Online update. I have already updated my alsa drivers but the problem remains so now I want to update my kernel to the latest available in opensuse repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/src/ If I use yast2 then I get several dependency missing error. Please guide me how can I install the latest kernel (not available in OpenSuSe 10.3 update repository)? Thanks in advance.

hi to all repo maintainers, i am always trying to use/test the latest KOTD and using the latest version of a series. for example: im am using now the latest 2.6.24.1 wich was available via the KOTD repo as (i think) the latest KOTD from e.g. 2.6.24 series is always the stable version: what about a repo LAST_KOTD with the last "stable" KOTD? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] Questions about KOTD
by Clayton 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I have been looking in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/i386/ at the various KOTD builds. I need to update my 10.2 kernel to something newer than the 2.6.18 line... to at least 2.6.22. Is there a reason that the kernel-bigsmp version is lagging so far behind the rest? kernel-bigsmp-2.6.23 vs kernel-source-2.6.25 and where are the matching kernel sources to this kernel version? (I need a bigsmp kernel.. I think. I have an AMD64 X2 with 4GB of RAM running on an i386 kernel) Which kernel build has the fixes from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331610 included? It's not clear (to me anyway) from the comments in the bug report. I a guessing that the bigsmp kernel available in the KOTD directory has the patch from the bug since the patch was posted on the 17/10 and the bigsmp kernel is dated 13/10. So.... any advice here?

[opensuse-kernel] 2.6.24.1-35.1 udev crashes in initrd
by Hans-Peter Jansen 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi, in a critical setting, I'm still using a SuSE 9.3 server (sorry), where the system gets unusable typically after 70-80 days uptime (only sysrq works then). Unfortunately, these crashes!?, even using the ATL-SysRQ [S] [U] [B] sequence leaves currupt ldap databases behind lately, too. All that mess is running 2.6.11.4-21.14-smp still. Since the users also complain about 1-10 second hangs in a terminal based order management system, I thought, it would be a good idea to try to move the kernel to 2.6.24.1 with all the fancy (IO) scheduling and engaging BKL, etc.. (I just rpmbuild Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/kernel-default-2.6.24.1-35.1 on that system). The first tries consistently resulted in Oops during initrd, similar to: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 printing eip: c01e5374 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /block/md0/dev Modules linked in: xfs ide_cd cdrom ide_disk pata_amd amd74xx ide_core raid456 async_xor async_memcpy async_tx xor sata_ sil24 libata 3w_9xxx sd_mod scsi_mod Pid: 710, comm: udev_volume_id Tainted: G N (2.6.24.1-35.1-default #1) EIP: 0060:[<c01e5374>] EFLAGS: 00010046 CPU: 0 EIP is at __rb_erase_color+0x19/0x13f EAX: 00000000 EBX: f7fcd3a8 ECX: 00000000 EDX: 00000000 ESI: c2029f9c EDI: f7fcd3a0 EBP: f750be28 ESP: f750be10 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0000 SS: 0068 Process udev_volume_id (pid: 710, ti=f750a000 task=f7fcd370 task.ti=f750a000) Stack: f7525a20 c2029f80 c011f6fe c2029f80 f7525a20 f7509040 f750be38 c011f841 f75259f0 c02f65a0 f750be48 c01200bd c202cd80 f75259f0 f750be58 c0120146 f75259f0 00000000 f750be7c c02eaeb3 f7509040 f75259f0 c202cd80 f7fcd4d8 Call Trace: [<c011f6fe>] dequeue_entity+0x2c/0x39 [<c011f841>] dequeue_task_fair+0x18/0x2d [<c01200bd>] dequeue_task+0xd/0x18 [<c0120146>] deactivate_task+0x1f/0x2b [<c02eaeb3>] __sched_text_start+0xe3/0x379 [<c02eb8bf>] __mutex_lock_interruptible_slowpath+0x6e/0x9f [<c02eb7d0>] mutex_lock_interruptible+0x1b/0x21 [<c0278f77>] md_open+0x1f/0x50 [<c019cbbf>] do_open+0x1b6/0x248 [<c019cd00>] blkdev_open+0x27/0x51 [<c017a91c>] __dentry_open+0xd1/0x184 [<ffffff9c>] 0xffffff9c DWARF2 unwinder stuck at 0xffffff9c Leftover inexact backtrace: [<c017aab2>] nameidata_to_filp+0x23/0x32 [<c017aa0f>] do_filp_open+0x40/0x48 [<c017ab6a>] get_unused_fd_flags+0x59/0xc3 [<c017acac>] do_sys_open+0x48/0xc9 [<c017ad47>] sys_open+0x1a/0x1c [<c0104fa2>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb ======================= Code: 01 0f 84 75 ff ff ff 8b 45 00 83 08 01 5b 5e 5f 5d c3 56 89 ce 53 89 d3 e9 19 01 00 00 8b 53 08 39 c2 0f 85 84 00 00 00 8b 4b 04 <8b> 01 a8 01 75 14 83 c8 01 89 f2 89 01 89 d8 83 23 fe e8 7d fe EIP: [<c01e5374>] __rb_erase_color+0x19/0x13f SS:ESP 0068:f750be10 ---[ end trace 92ebfcce66e192a6 ]--- and: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000040 printing eip: c011f96c *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /block/sde/sde1/dev Modules linked in: sata_sil24 libata 3w_9xxx sd_mod scsi_mod Pid: 538, comm: udev Not tainted (2.6.24.1-35.1-default #1) EIP: 0060:[<c011f96c>] EFLAGS: 00010046 CPU: 0 EIP is at pick_next_task_fair+0x15/0x23 EAX: 00000000 EBX: f75d11f0 ECX: c202cdd0 EDX: 00000000 ESI: 00000000 EDI: 00000001 EBP: f7481f08 ESP: f7481f08 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0000 SS: 0068 Process udev (pid: 538, ti=f7480000 task=f75d11f0 task.ti=f7480000) Stack: f7481f2c c02eaeea c202a1cc 00000000 c202cd80 f75d1358 f7481f44 00000001 00000001 f7481f9c c02eb95e 00000001 00000000 00000000 c013af1e f7ffc944 00000000 00000000 73e8b1d5 00000005 c013aeba c202a1cc 00000001 c02eb953 Call Trace: [<c02eaeea>] __sched_text_start+0x11a/0x379 [<c02eb95e>] do_nanosleep+0x3c/0x67 ======================= Code: 39 c8 73 0c 5e 89 f8 5b 5e 5f 5d e9 9b f6 ff ff 5b 5b 5e 5f 5d c3 55 83 c0 34 31 d2 83 78 08 00 89 e5 74 11 e8 15 fe ff ff 89 c2 <8b> 40 40 85 c0 75 f2 83 ea 30 5d 89 d0 c3 55 89 e5 53 89 d3 83 EIP: [<c011f96c>] pick_next_task_fair+0x15/0x23 SS:ESP 0068:f7481f08 ---[ end trace 18a67066b954c85e ]--- Looking into requirements, I noticed that 2.6.24 needs a udev 081, while the system uses 053-15.4.

Hi, when compiling 2.6.24.3 (based on a recent 2.6.24.1-76.4 from kernel-head), I noticed strange as segfaults like this on openSUSE 10.2: Feb 29 16:32:31 tyrex kernel: as[20157]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bffae180 error 4 Feb 29 16:32:31 tyrex kernel: as[20163]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bf8bda90 error 4 Feb 29 16:32:32 tyrex kernel: as[20169]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfb5ed30 error 4 Feb 29 16:32:32 tyrex kernel: as[20175]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfa43c10 error 4 Feb 29 16:32:32 tyrex kernel: as[20233]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bf99d380 error 4 Feb 29 16:32:32 tyrex kernel: as[20239]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bf9f1bd0 error 4 Feb 29 16:32:32 tyrex kernel: as[20245]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfbca5a0 error 4 Feb 29 16:32:32 tyrex kernel: as[20251]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bffe51c0 error 4 Feb 29 16:34:26 tyrex kernel: as[20395]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfebf090 error 4 Feb 29 16:34:26 tyrex kernel: as[20401]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfa95460 error 4 Feb 29 16:34:26 tyrex kernel: as[20407]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfc7b650 error 4 Feb 29 16:34:26 tyrex kernel: as[20413]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfcf9ed0 error 4 Feb 29 16:34:26 tyrex kernel: as[20471]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfaa1c80 error 4 Feb 29 16:34:27 tyrex kernel: as[20477]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfefb8d0 error 4 Feb 29 16:34:27 tyrex kernel: as[20483]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bffe99c0 error 4 Feb 29 16:34:27 tyrex kernel: as[20489]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfecb0a0 error 4 Feb 29 16:46:16 tyrex kernel: as[27143]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bf838200 error 4 Feb 29 16:46:16 tyrex kernel: as[27149]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfb2e500 error 4 Feb 29 16:46:16 tyrex kernel: as[27155]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bf8f4ac0 error 4 Feb 29 16:46:16 tyrex kernel: as[27161]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bf94d320 error 4 Feb 29 16:46:16 tyrex kernel: as[27219]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bf8b3a90 error 4 Feb 29 16:46:16 tyrex kernel: as[27225]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfd136f0 error 4 Feb 29 16:46:16 tyrex kernel: as[27231]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfb59d30 error 4 Feb 29 16:46:16 tyrex kernel: as[27237]: segfault at 00000040 eip 40075eb0 esp bfcb3690 error 4 as is from binutils-2.17.50.0.5-21. Is that to be expected (the generated kernel seems to work fine, though, but these segfaults are odd)?
