2.5.70-mm8

[Andrew Morton]

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.70/2.5.70-mm8/

. lots of new fixes

. Anticipatory scheduler patch should fix the recently-noticed slowdown
  with seeky O_DIRECT read loads.

. ext3 locking work will hopefully fix the assertion failure in
  journal_commit_transaction() which two people have reported.

That patch came from a person at IBM, where blissful unawareness of
single-processor machines is rampant :)

Thanks, will fix.

I had the same problem, it occours when the kernel is compiled without SMP 
support and EARLY_PRINTK is not explicitly disabled in the 'Kernel hacking' 
config-section.

The attached patch helps me with this error...

This is great, both raid-1 and framebuffer works again!

I'll test raid0 too later this evening.

[2.5.70-mm8] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

[Thomas Schlichter]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 408 bytes --]

Hi,

I compiled 2.5.70-mm8 with the same .config I used for -mm7 which worked fine 
for me. Now I can not use my RTL8139C based network card with the 8139too 
module anymore and the message above displays. I attached the dmesg messages, 
the list of loaded modules, the contents of /proc/interrupts and what 
ifconfig says. If anything else is needed, just ask...

Re: [2.5.70-mm8] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

[Thomas Schlichter]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 777 bytes --]

Hi,

it seems that whether the netdevice nor the 8139too parts of the kernel cause 
my problems but there must have been some bad changes to the interrupt 
routing or the IO-APIC parts.

I don't have -mm7 handy currently (but at the moment it compiles again) but I 
attached the contents of /proc/interrupts of 2.4.10 (the system I currently 
run) and 2.5.70-mm8 again.

As you can see there, the -mm8 code does not assign more than 16 interrupt 
sinks but the 2.4.10 (and if I remember correctly -mm7, too) has 22. Perhaps 
even more problematic is that -mm8 seems not to use level-triggered 
interrupts...!

I could try to revert some IRQ or APIC changes if someone could tell me which 
Changeset may have caused that...

Best reagrds

OK, I've found it...!

After reverting the pci-init-ordering-fix everything works as expected 
again...

Damn.  That patch fixes other bugs.  i386 pci init ordering is busted.

Re: 2.5.70-mm8

[Jordan Breeding]

Just to let you know I finally got 2.5.70-mm8 running on my system a few 
hours ago, but it has been stable ever since.  I started with 2.5.70-mm8 
and the fix for the AS elevator causing X problems but that would boot. 
  I then tried every version of the AS fix but none of them seemed to 
work for me.  Then I tried backing out pci-init-ordering-fix.patch and 
that did the trick.  My system was hanging when it would poll the SCSI 
busses in my box.  I have an external 29160N from Adaptec and dual 
onboard Adaptec U160 ports (39160 equivalent).  As soon as the add on 
card would get polled it would print one of the "Anticipatory Scheduler" 
messages and then would hang.  With the pci patch reverted I can boot up 
and use -mm8, btw, when will the elevator selection messages either go 
away or get limited to a couple of times per boot.  When you have 3 SCSI 
busses it ends up being quite a few messages :-).  Thanks.

Yeah, that experiment will be terminated.  It fixed two machines and broke
three.

umm, in about five minutes time?

Now, after further investigation, it seems reverting the pci-init-ordering-fix 
is not necessary... I simply had to switch off ACPI (for example with the 
'acpi=off' kernel parameter).

I recognized it because the changed kernel had the problems again if i started 
it with 'pci=noacpi', but not with 'acpi=off'. So I tried the original -mm8 
kernel with this option and... IT WORKS!

So perhaps it is better to leave this patch in the -mm tree and fix ACPI 
(which does not work for me anyway).

Best regards
