[01:31] <zul> heylo
[03:03] <mjg59> BenC: Hmm. The bcm driver still seems to need a little handholding.
[03:04] <mjg59> BenC: Any chance of us being able to get an update?
[04:17] <BenC> mjg59: Updated it not too long ago, but I can always do another
[04:18] <mjg59> BenC: Ok
[04:18] <mjg59> BenC: I need to set the channel manually right now, and also need to limit it to 11M by hand
[04:32] <dilinger> yeesh
[04:32] <dilinger> dilinger@throat:~$ w
[04:32] <dilinger>  22:32:06 up 17 min,  3 users,  load average: 10.46, 10.69, 6.68
[04:33] <dilinger> BenC: any idea why a cp between an AMD8111 device and a 3w-9xxx device would be creating a bunch of d-state processes (that make the load look really high) and make kswapds go nuts?
[04:34] <dilinger> this is on 2.6.15-16-amd64-generic, dual processor opteron system
[04:34] <dilinger> 1g of ram.  it's not actually swapping, but both kswapd's show up consistently right behind the cp process in top
[04:35] <dilinger> hm, wonder what happens if i swapoff..
[04:36] <dilinger> well, they're lower in the process list as far as cpu usage, but still D-stating regularly
[04:40] <dilinger>  4267 ?        D      0:00 [pdflush] 
[04:40] <dilinger>  4289 ?        D      0:00 [pdflush]

[04:40] <dilinger>  4294 ?        D      0:00 [pdflush] 
[04:40] <dilinger> ugh.
[04:53] <dilinger> looks like the pdflush processes are spinning in lock_timer_base
[04:53] <dilinger>                         spin_lock_irqsave(&base->lock, *flags);
[04:56] <dilinger> (and sparc64 one, for that matter)
[05:59] <infinity> dilinger!
[05:59] <infinity> Oh, wait.  I'm an hour late.  I suck.
[06:00] <mjg59> http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/34302017/658522 is excellent
[06:01] <infinity> mjg59: A bit unreadable, though.
[06:02] <mjg59> "Of course, every stylish man wears a laptop as underwear"
[06:35] <dilinger> infinity: hey!
[06:36] <infinity> dilinger: I had an odd feeling I wanted to talk to you a few days ago, but I have no idea why now, so, uh... "Hi!"
[06:36] <dilinger> heh
[06:36] <dilinger> infinity: small talk, no doubt.  so how's the weather? :P
[06:52] <infinity> BenC: When you reassign kernel stuff to initramfs-tools, can you change the assignee to me as well, so I actually get notified about the bugs by email? :)
[06:52] <infinity> dilinger: The weather is hot.  And stuff.  How's NYC treating you?
[07:43] <dilinger> infinity: i'm about ready to leave NYC, i've had enough of it :/
[07:45] <fabbione> hey guys
[07:59] <dilinger> fabbione: hiya
[07:59] <fabbione> hey dilinger 
[08:00] <fabbione> how you doing?
[08:00] <dilinger> good, other than the problems i'm having w/ this 3w-9xxx card :) 
[08:00] <dilinger> you?
[08:01] <fabbione> i am fine
[08:02] <fabbione> busy as usual.. but i am surviving
[09:24] <chmj> BenC: ping? 
[01:49] <jbailey> BenC: Heya!
[01:50] <BenC> hey
[01:50] <BenC> chmj: pong
[01:50] <jbailey> I need to file a bug for my touchpad bug (seems to move at half speed compared to breezy).  What info can I collect for you?  Just the usual lspci and dmesg bits?
[01:51] <mjg59> jbailey: Userspace, not kernel
[01:51] <jbailey> mjg59: Ah?  It works fine when I plug a USB mouse in.
[01:51] <jbailey> mjg59: So I'd assumed it was something in the /dev/input/mice mux.
[01:51] <BenC> jbailey: pb?
[01:52] <mjg59> jbailey: No, it seems to be the synaptics driver
[01:52] <jbailey> BenC: The only thing that comes to mind is "Philip Blundelle"..  What does that mean?
[01:52] <mjg59> Powerbook
[01:52] <BenC> powerbook :)
[01:52] <jbailey> mjg59: Ah, okay.  Anything I can usefully do?
[01:52] <fabbione> BenC: can you please pull from my branch on people? 
[01:52] <jbailey> Ah, no, Toshiba.
[01:52] <BenC> fabbione: sure thing
[01:52] <fabbione> BenC: changelog: SUN4V support.
[01:53] <fabbione> BenC: more to come today or tomorrow
[01:53] <BenC> jbailey: if it's a powerbook, it's a known issue
[01:53] <fabbione> but i need you to pull and push to clean up my local branch
[01:53] <fabbione> BenC: packages can build. we will test tomorrow if they boot ok on niagara.
[01:53] <fabbione> BenC: i got ssh access to it :)
[01:54] <fabbione> BenC: we only need to get silo done for now.. asap
[01:54] <fabbione> KNOWN ISSUE: possible memory corruption with make -j 512
[01:54] <chmj> do we still push to our repo's in rookery 
[01:54] <chmj> I notice that are people-<name> branches 
[01:55] <mjg59> jbailey: Try sticking:
[01:55] <mjg59> Option          "MinSpeed"              "0.49"
[01:55] <mjg59> Option          "MaxSpeed"              "0.63"
[01:55] <mjg59> In the synaptics section of xorg.conf for now
[01:56] <jbailey> mjg59: 'kay.  firing it up, lagging a sec.
[01:57] <fabbione> BenC: do you think you can silo today?
[01:57] <fabbione> BenC: i must prepare a redhat cluster suite update for you before yesterday
[01:58] <fabbione> BenC: upstream did send me an email like: "UPDATE TO CVS NOW OR CLUSTER MANAGER WILL BITE YOUR ARSE!"
[01:58] <jbailey> mjg59: Silly question.  Those decimal places aren't locale-specific, right?
[01:58] <mjg59> jbailey: Doubt it
[01:58] <jbailey> In fr_CA, we use , 's
[01:58] <fabbione> jbailey: no they are not
[01:58] <jbailey> 'k
[01:59] <jbailey> mjg59: Appears to fix the problem.
[01:59] <mjg59> jbailey: Ok. Need to test it on a real synaptics.
[02:00] <jbailey> The min and max are ranges for accelleration, right?  The min might be a touch fast, but that might be me misremembering and just getting used to the painfully slow that I had.
[02:06] <jbailey> mjg59: Do you want me to make any 'worksforme' noises in a bug somewhere?
[02:07] <mjg59> jbailey: No, it's ok right now
[02:07] <jbailey> Hmm, this reminds me that I need to check for a bios update to see if that makes my suspend/resume happy.
[02:09] <BenC> fabbione: lol, yeah, I'll do silo today
[02:10] <fabbione> BenC: ok thanks! 
[02:10] <fabbione> i really must take off now
[02:11] <jbailey> BenC: Are you and Dave still working wit Vincent on grub2 at all?
[02:11] <fabbione> BenC: if you can manage to pull/push within the next 2 hours it will just great.. 
[02:11] <fabbione> BenC: my local repo is falling apart in push/pull
[02:11] <fabbione> a new clone would be helpful ;)
[02:34] <zul> heylo
[02:43] <jbailey> g'm Scott, Chuck!
[02:43] <jbailey> zul: I still have to try disturbingly hard not to call you chunk.
[02:49] <zul> hehe...thats second on my list of most commonily used joke about my names
[02:53] <jbailey> It was an honestly misspelling the first time.
[02:53] <jbailey> Unfortunately, it's now what pops into my head as the mapping for "zul"
[02:54] <zul> hehe...
[02:55] <zul> i heard stupid comments that hey you arent short...blah blah...i heard it twice yesterday while i was at the hospital
[02:58] <jbailey> Bah.
[02:58] <jbailey> Nah, the only game that I really like with your name isn't derogatory.
[02:58] <jbailey> It's just so perfect for the name game.
[02:58] <jbailey> And I heard it from a teacher first, which made it so special. =)
[02:58] <jbailey> (clearly hadn't thought it through...)
[03:04] <zul> chuck, chuck, banna banna...bo...etc
[03:12] <jbailey> zul: Yup, that's the one. =)
[03:12] <jbailey> zul: Nice because it doesn't poke fun at the owner of the name, but usually the person in authority you convinced to lead the game.
[03:28] <zul> not how we played
[04:47] <zul> BenC: have you seen that PnPACPI thing yet?
[04:57] <BenC> zul: yeah, mjg59 is supposed to be looking into it
[04:57] <fabbione> re
[05:04] <fabbione> BenC: how is the merge going?
[05:15] <zul> BenC: i should have some patches for you by friday as well
[05:42] <mjg59> BenC: What am I meant to be looking into?
[05:42] <mjg59> BenC: Oh, I sent you a fix for acpi-sbs - did you get that?
[05:44] <BenC> fabbione: going through bug reports then I'll merge
[05:44] <BenC> zul: ok
[05:44] <BenC> mjg59: let me check
[05:44] <BenC> mjg59: I have a battery fix, but nothing that I can see for the PnPACPI thing
[05:44] <fabbione> BenC: ok.. you might want to give me an hour or two so i can give you the RH Cluster updates too
[05:45] <mjg59> BenC: Yeah, that's what I meant
[05:45] <BenC> fabbione: sure, I can hold off
[05:45] <fabbione> ok
[06:21] <fabbione> BenC: test building now..
[07:44] <fabbione> include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h:15:1: warning: "PUD_SHIFT" redefined
[07:44] <fabbione> <command line>:1:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
[07:44] <fabbione> ^^ BenC do you see this one too?
[07:45] <BenC> never looked for it, but I don't recall seeing it
[07:45] <BenC> weird that it is defined on the command line
[07:46] <fabbione> yeah
[09:00] <fabbione> BenC: ok.. green light to pull from me
[09:01] <fabbione> test builded on i386 :)
[09:01] <BenC> fabbione: great, thanks
[09:02] <fabbione> no problem
[09:10] <lamont> fabbione/BenC: http://www.parisc-linux.org/~kyle/for_lamont/
[09:11] <lamont> these are relative to the top of git
[09:11] <BenC> our git, or upstream git?
[09:11] <lamont> tulip is needed for more than just hppa boxes
[09:11] <lamont> our git
[09:11] <lamont> or rather, "BenC's git"
[09:11] <BenC> sweet
[09:12] <lamont> sym2 is willy's version (he's upstream for sym2, does his initial releases to the parisc tree)
[09:12] <lamont> compat.diff is the only iffy one...
[09:12] <lamont> in that it appears to be half-applied already in our tree.
[09:14] <BenC> it is, but when I did it, I kept it local to parisc to reduce noise
[09:14] <lamont> ah, ok
[09:14] <BenC> I may skip that one
[09:14] <BenC> the other three, I'll include
[09:14] <lamont> the parisc.diff file has patches outside of arch/parisc type stuff, but they're all bug fixes that shouldn't hurt, or are required fixes to support said chip in hppa properly, or it's an hppa-specific driver (e.g., harmony)
[09:14] <lamont> dropping compat.diff is probably no big deal
[09:16] <lamont> BenC: there might be one more, I'm told.
[09:16] <BenC> ok
[09:17] <fabbione> lamont: is there any chance to get the 17bit jmp fixed?
[09:17] <fabbione> on hppa so to speak...
[09:17] <lamont> fabbione: I know someone was working on it, dunno if they fixed it...
[09:17] <lamont> it's a pretty deep architecturel f-up in ld.
[09:17] <lamont> (IMO)
[09:17] <fabbione> lamont: that would have been tas
[09:18] <lamont> tausq
[09:18] <fabbione> yeah
[09:18] <fabbione> i can't type his nick.. 
[09:18] <lamont> tau<tab> :-)
[09:21] <lamont> BenC: this "stubs out enough in arch/parisc to make everything work." (without compat.diff):  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f671c45df23005692daa200aba768c642fb14ef2;hp=16541c8745e28f62b3dcb6cb354b73c9c01ea178
[09:22] <lamont> which might be the part that we already grabbed
[09:23] <fabbione> lamont: yes.. <tab> works when you are in the same chan
[09:23] <lamont> yeah
[09:23] <fabbione> and he is not here :)
