Le-Chuck_ITAHi all, I want to draw your attention to the following bug, which has been "quickfixed" by a clever guy who found out a line to comment out, but requires kernel developers attention to be sure it's a good fix. It's a regression from feisty, and since in gutsy for the first time suspend to disk and to ram work flawlessly on toshiba laptops with dual core enabled, I supppose it is worth a look. Bug is:01:00

tjaaltonI've got frequent crashes with dapper on a HP DL380G5, and I've got a call trace that starts from bnx2_poll07:42
tjaaltonthat would suggest that there's a bug in the broadcom driver?07:42
tjaalton(I took a photo of the trace)07:43
tjaaltonI found this while searching for similar issues http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=210307:44
tjaaltonplease see bug 75767, I've confirmed that one. seems similar enough to mine11:53
ubotuLaunchpad bug 75767 in linux-source-2.6.15 "kernel panic: killing interrupt handler" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/7576711:53
andresIf I have made a kernel bugreport including a patch which is accepted upstream which fixes crashes and datacorruption, is there anything more I can do? (2.6.22 xen)12:49

Kanocould some add a little patch for aufs?13:19
Kanopatch/sec_perm-2.6.24.patch from aufs cvs13:19
Kano+EXPORT_SYMBOL(security_inode_permission);13:20
Kanomainly13:20
Kanohttp://kanotix.com/files/kernel/kernel-update-pack-generic-future-pure/source/sec_perm-2.6.24.patch13:23
Kanoalso i need one file more in the headers: 13:25
Kanofs/aufs/Makefile:tmpfs = $(shell grep '\#.*define.*TMPFS_MAGIC' ${srctree}/mm/shmem.c | \13:25
Kanoso i need mm/shmem.c13:25
aboganiKano: Please use the right way: Clone hardy git repo, apply the patch, test resultant kernel, formatting patch as reported at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide  and send a patch to kernel-team ml. 13:26
Kanothats the original patch from aufs cvs13:26
Kanoi would suggest to switch to aufs - unionfs is not working from lum13:26
Kanomaybe the same issue,dont know13:27
Kano[ 4814.465576] aufs: Unknown symbol security_inode_permission13:28
Kano[ 5954.937595] unionfs: Unknown symbol security_file_ioctl13:28
Kano[ 5954.937662] unionfs: Unknown symbol security_inode_permission13:28
Kanoit seems it is the same issue, just that unionfs needs even a 2nd export13:28
aboganiandres: Depend from intrusive level of the patch and from type of bug which it resolve. Generally if the bug not meet https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates requirements is very difficult that the patch will be accepted.13:29
Kanoso you need to add even 2 export statements...13:29
Kanoi do not need to send anything, if you want a working unionfs...13:29
andresabogani: As I said, it causes, sometimes silent, data corruption. Has very little impact, is accepted upstream, only affects xen kernels.13:29
andresIts the xfs not using vunmap() issue.13:30
andresAnd is very hard to diagnose as the backtraces are quite random, as it can happen at every place where vmap's are used.13:31
andresabogani: so I dont see why it shouldnt adhere to the stable release guidelines.13:31
andresabogani: May I nominate it for some release, or should that only be done by ubuntu devs?13:34
aboganiandres: You should send email to kernel-team ml.13:36
andresOk.13:36
Kanowhat file to patch for the headers?13:58
Kanoi dont get it currently where to write the extra files13:58
andres_fabogani: done14:20
andres_fUgh. The mailing list is moderated.14:22
andres_fDo you moderate the lists regulary, or should I subscribe and repost?14:22
