| em | Hi, I think I may have found a bug in the ubuntu kernel. Can someone tell me an easy way to install an upstream kernel to check? | 16:35 |
| em | Im an ordinary user I don't have special skills. | 16:35 |
| em | I'm hoping to find a ppa for the mainline kernel. | 16:55 |
| psusi | I just attached a kernel patch to finally fix bug #153768. Could anyone take a look and maybe apply it? It is pretty simple and straightforward. | 17:38 |

| mjg59 | psusi: Just parse ahci_port_cmd? | 17:40 |
| mjg59 | You're still depending on the BIOS to know that it's an external port, so this isn't a guarantee | 17:41 |
| psusi | mjg59, two problems with that: 1) udev doesn't do bitwise comparisons and 2) ahci_port_cmd is in the wrong part of the sysfs tree so udev can't see it | 17:41 |
| psusi | yep, it isn't guaranteed, but it's better than nothing | 17:41 |
| mjg59 | Its a property of the host, not of the device | 17:42 |
| psusi | that's the problem... the host device is not the parent of the device device | 17:42 |
| psusi | so udev doesn't see it as an attribute of the disk or its ancestry | 17:43 |
| mjg59 | Well, adding bitwise comparison support to udev sounds useful | 17:43 |
| psusi | this arrangement is totally broken according to kay | 17:43 |
| psusi | it does... but the arrangement also needs fixed | 17:44 |
| mjg59 | That also sounds worthwhile | 17:44 |
| mjg59 | Adding sysfs ABI in a distribution-specific patch doesn't sound like as good a plan | 17:44 |
| psusi | exactly | 17:45 |
| psusi | hence, this patch | 17:45 |
| mjg59 | ...which adds sysfs ABI | 17:45 |
| psusi | yea, but doesn't move a bunch around... just adds a new one | 17:45 |
| psusi | so no chance of breakage | 17:46 |
| mjg59 | Right. That's probably not a good thing to add in a distribution-specific patch. | 17:46 |
| psusi | why? | 17:46 |
| mjg59 | Because if it doesn't go upstream it'll have to be carried forever | 17:47 |
| psusi | well, yea... that's true of any patch | 17:48 |
| mjg59 | No, ones that don't create ABI can be dropped | 17:48 |
| psusi | so could this, if you don't mind re breaking esata auto mounting | 17:49 |
| * psusi scratches his head | 17:49 | |
| mjg59 | No, even if this gets fixed properly you still can't drop the patch | 17:49 |
| mjg59 | Because you have no idea what else might be using that ABI | 17:50 |
| mjg59 | Users may depend on it | 17:50 |
