[opensuse-kernel] [PATCH V2] b43: Change firmware missing message to refer to openSUSE script
by Larry Finger 24 May '10

24 May '10

The error message output by b43 contains instructions for obtaining firmware; however, this naturally does not take account of the script /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware. Modify the messages to suggest use of the script. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger(a)lwfinger.net> --- V2 - Fix a typo, and reference a wiki page rather than the forum. This patch could be used for 2.6.31 kernels in openSUSE 11.2 or 2.6.34 kernels in 11.3.

[opensuse-kernel] iwlagn users: beware of KOTD / Kernel:HEAD
by Stefan Seyfried 15 May '10

15 May '10

Hi, in case you are using iwlagn for wireless, be careful to keep an old kernel before updating to 2.6.34-rc7 from Kernel:HEAD. The ugly details are in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606170 I'm right now testing if commit 96ff56419504ac6a610ff1af42330e0423242e16 (which went in after rc7) helps. -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"

[opensuse-kernel] When does the kernel versions on obs synchronize up to be the same version on kernel.org (mainline)
by doiggl＠velocitynet.com.au 11 May '10

Hello, When does the kernel versions on opensuse build service synchronize up to be the same version on kernel.org (mainline) 1. kernel mainline on http://kernel.org/ shows v2.6.34-rc7 2. kernel version on obs shows kernel 2.6.34-rc6 Thanks Glenn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] ZTE MF626 on openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 6
by Andi Sugandi 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi Listmates, I'm using ZTE MF626 (USB-3G Modem) to have Internet connection through (at least) option, and usbserial modules. I can see those features are enabled on openSUSE 11.3 M6: > grep USB_SERIAL= /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m > grep USB_SERIAL_OPTION /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION=m Unfortunately openSUSE 11.3 M6 could not "switch" it to be as an usb-3G modem automatically (but M5, which is never investigated) because there is no usb_modeswitch package in factory repositories at this time. Should I file a bug? This is the log (var/log/messages) of oS-11.3 M6 when the device was plugged: May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.703090] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.830102] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=19d2, idProduct=2000 May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.830112] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.830120] usb 1-1: Product: ZTE CDMA Technologies MSM May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.830126] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: ZTE,Incorporated May 10 15:40:45 linux-6ajn kernel: [ 1248.953993] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

[opensuse-kernel] [PATCH] b43: Change firmware missing message to refer to openSUSE script
by Larry Finger 06 May '10

The error message output by b43 contains instructions for obtaining firmware; however, this naturally does not take account of the script /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware. Modify the messages to suggest use of the script. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger(a)lwfinger.net> --- This patch could be used for 2.6.31 kernels in openSUSE 11.2 or 2.6.34 kernels in 11.3.

[opensuse-kernel] ext3 - ENOMEM on file write
by Cameron Seader 04 May '10

04 May '10

Greetings, Wondering if anyone here has some experience with file writes in the kernel (specifically ext2 and ext3). I have been trying to figure this out and have no idea how this is happening. We have a case where we (Customer of mine using openAFS) have a system that is doing some successive reading and writing to a file. Here is the specific Code: --snip-- First, we're given an inode 'ainode', which should be the correct inode for the file we're looking at. (If it were incorrect, we would have gotten an error much earlier.) If we have iget, we call iget. The 2.6.16.60-* kernels lack iget, I believe, so instead we do: fid.i32.ino = ainode; fid.i32.gen = 0; dp = afs_cacheSBp->s_export_op->fh_to_dentry(afs_cacheSBp, &fid, sizeof(fid), FILEID_INO32_GEN); filp = dentry_open(dp, mntget(afs_cacheMnt), O_RDWR); (I'm not including error-checking. afs_cacheSBp is the superblock for the cache filesystem, so ext2 or ext3. afs_cacheMnt is the vfsmount for the cache FS) Then, to write to the file we do basically: (we're writing 'count' bytes from 'buf' to 'offset' in file 'filp'; I'm paraphrasing the code here, but I think I'm maintaining what it does) mm_segment_t _fs_space_decl; int code = 0; savelim = current->TASK_STRUCT_RLIM[RLIMIT_FSIZE].rlim_cur; current->TASK_STRUCT_RLIM[RLIMIT_FSIZE].rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY; _fs_space_decl = get_fs(); set_fs(get_ds()); if (filp->f_op->llseek) { if (filp->f_op->llseek(filp, offset, 0) != offset) return -1; } else { filp->f_pos = offset; } while (code == 0 && count > 0) { code = filp->f_op->write(filp, buf, count, &f->f_pos); if (code < 0) { code = -code; break; } else if (code == 0) { code = EIO; break; } buf += code; count -= code; code = 0; } set_fs(_fs_space_decl); current->TASK_STRUCT_RLIM[RLIMIT_FSIZE].rlim_cur = savelim; return code; It is here we are getting -ENOMEM from filp->f_op->write. Finally, normally to close a file, we do this: if (filp->f_dentry->d_inode) { filp_close(filp, NULL); } --snip-- It's not intended to be written to constantly, but in this case it probably is written to several times successively (due to certain parameters set a bit low, and the high load for these clients). I believe this function was called about 644203 times in the core I'm looking at, which means that file was written to at least around 644000 times... I'm assuming at least most of those were right after another. However, there would almost always be several reads of the same file between successive writes. (Again, in an 'open(); read(); close();' fashion) But they are probably all happening very quickly; I assume the cache for the stuff in this file is thrashing. How can we avoid this or make this much more stream-lined? Any help would be appreciated.
