apwsmb, morning ... this amd quirk, can you remind me of the bug for that one07:41
=== GrueMaster_ is now known as GrueMaster
ricotzapw, hello, could a patch like this be considered for inclusion? https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/244201/07:43
apwricotz, is the patch upstream yet?  and in part the answer depends on where you are looking to put it07:45
ricotzapw, this patch isnt upstream, and the current natty kernel (38rc6) breaks the usage of my dvb card, including this patch solved it for me07:47
apwthe patch doesn't claim for fix anything, just speed things up ... so thats a little unexpected07:49
* apw drop for a few mins07:49
ricotzapw, yes, the current driver gives me timeouts when switching channels/transponders mostly everytime, so this "speed-up" patch solved it for me07:51
* apw sighs ... 09:28

ubot2Launchpad bug 725089 in linux "QRT test-kernel-security causes kernel panic on EC2 AMD64 image" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72508910:38
arasmb, no, that one10:38
arasmb, the one above is the tracker, the bug is the one you mention10:38
smbara, I will try to get to the bottom of that today10:38
arasmb, cool, if the regression is confirmed, then the linux (not linux-ec2) package will also be dropped?10:39
smbI looked at it on Friday and was not sure what could have caused it. Actually it seemed that the kernel before that may already have been causing issues10:39
smbara, Unfortunately for Maverick there is no ec2 package10:41
apwsmb, so would that be -virtual which has failed then ?10:41
smbWe use the virtual image generated from the normal linux package10:41
smbIn some way yes.10:41
smbBut I am not sure one can fail virtual without failing the main package.10:42
apwsmb, indeed if -virtual is toast they all are11:07

nuschI'm trying to examine some regression with alsa or kernel, what is fastest way of finding it, shoud I install different kernels from packages or compiling from source? I read it can be done with git bisect but could I use git with ubuntu kernels compiled like this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile? Or should I use this method  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild12:31
apwnusch, i would start by picking the pre-build kerenls from launchpad12:41
apwto narrow it as much as possible, then probabally try the mainline builds for finer bisection in between12:42
apwnusch, which release as this appeared and when?12:42
fairuzdma_addr_t dma_map_single (struct device * dev, void * cpu_addr, size_t size, enum dma_data_direction dir);  .. is cpu_addr a physical addr?12:47
apwfairuz, looks like a kernel virtual addy to me12:49
nuschapw: I'm talking about this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/662009 and somebody already found this was broken between 2.6.33  and 2.6.3512:51
ubot2Launchpad bug 662009 in alsa-driver "[Lenovo Y530 - Realtek ALC888] Regression from 10.04: No sound with snd_hda_intel model=lenovo-sky" [Undecided,Triaged]12:52
nuschso I wanted to examine it deeper12:52
apwnusch, so i would seee if .33 and .35 mainline builds show the same pattern12:52
apwand then use the -rc builds in the mainline archive to find a finer location12:52
apwquicker than building ones own12:52
nuschCould you provide m with some details how to do that?12:53
apwhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds12:53
apwthat has the docs on where to find them and how to instal them etc12:53
nuschok and should I install also new alsa package like this from ppa linux-headers-alsa-driver-2.6.35-25-generic with kernel version included or get rid of it and use standard ubuntu ones ?12:56
apwi'd not expect the headers to make any difference to a sound issue12:57
nuschsory I meant linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.35-25-generic12:57
nuschthose are from ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa12:58
apwwell that only applies to 35-25, so as long as you arn't booting that you won't be using it12:58
nuschI'm saying about whole set of packages from ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa which has version number included in name, so It will need installing new alsa with every kernel, or should I uninstall it and allow system use standard packages13:00
diwic_afknusch, when you're git bisecting, make sure this package from ubuntu-audio-dev is NOT installed.13:00
apwif you are looking for a general bug in the kernel, you don't want any unecesary packages like that13:01
apwthey just add variables you don't need13:01
nuschBut I'm not sure the problem exists in kernel or alsa modules13:01
apwwell from a kernel point of view, it includes alsa, and its that one we care if it works or not13:02
nuschok thx, I'll inform you after testing13:03

jk-smb :)13:08
smbjk-, Not that I did much more response. I think the only thing I had was that if we start to change it should be Natty and then potentially go back, but that was already said13:09
apwwell i don't see any inherant issue with them, though what form are you using thats not being picked up13:09
jk-smb: yeah, that's fine; I was starting with lucid because that's the kernel I was most recently working with13:10

smbsconklin, Hm, I found one line on irc from Thursday where jj mentions regressions for Lucid and Maverick. But not which those are. I cannot remember anything about Lucid (beside some load accounting problems maybe which seem to come and go). But we should ask him when he comes online.16:29

smbjjohansen, Hey sconklin refreshed my memory today about you mentioning regressions on ec2 in Lucid and Maverick. But I cannot remember what the regression in Lucid was. Do you still remember?17:03
jjohansensmb: yeah, just a sec I am looking up the bug #17:05

smbnot? :)17:11
jjohansensmb: yes NOT17:12

jjohansensmb: I did start looking into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/72508917:12
ubot2Launchpad bug 725089 in linux "QRT test-kernel-security causes kernel panic on EC2 AMD64 image" [High,New]17:12
jjohansenwhich is the maverick bug17:13
smbjjohansen, I did sort of do that too17:13
jjohansensmb: ah okay :)17:13
smbjjohansen, Seems I was able to boot the latest proposed kernel there17:13
smbThough I think I discovered another regression (but that is old)17:13
jjohansensmb: oh which regression is that17:14
jjohansenoh nm its in your bug comment17:15
smbjjohansen, I noted in the bug report. But it seems running "reboot" in the instance does not work17:15
smbyeah17:15
smbOr I am not patient enough for it17:15
smbBut it seems to be consistent with what I see on my local test system17:16
smbFor a Lucid image I can do a "xm shutdown" and the domU goes away17:16
smbFor a Maverick image I do the same and it stays around until I do a "xm destroy"17:17
* smb thinks the reboot / halt vectors may probably need better handling17:17
jjohansenhrmm, yeah17:18
smbBut as said, this is something that probably came with the change from Lucid to Maverick17:18
jjohansenapw: any reports of wireless just dying with the newest kernels17:18
apwjjohansen, no that have reached me no17:18
jjohansenapw: hrmm, I have had my wireless just die a couple times since upgrading friday17:19
apwwhat h/w you got ?17:19
jjohansenintel 496517:20
apwhrm pretty common17:21
apwi wonder if you got some upgraded firmware recently17:21
jjohansenhrmm, unlikely I haven't upgraded the firmware package17:22
sconklinsmb, jjohansen: so is it correct that we should not hold the maverick kernel for ec2, and that we should Lucid until further notice from jj?17:22
jjohansenapw: it could have an anomally, if it happens again I will file a bug17:23
jjohansensconklin: uh no give a little bit more with maverick, I want to double check17:23

smbsconklin, jjohansen The Lucid thing could just be again something that never was working in ec2 (due to the duplicate files)17:23
apwjjohansen, icirtianly worth watching, not someting i have heard from anyone else yet17:23
hertonapw, same reporter confirmed the fix at upstream bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979217:23
ubot2bugzilla.kernel.org bug 29792 in Block Layer "BUG: fs/inode.c:1422 when deleting device-mapper devices" [Normal,Closed: duplicate]17:23
jjohansensmb: all of qrt was definitely passing on lucid and maverick, the question is when kees added the test that is failing last year17:24
jjohansensmb: I couldn't remember, so the failure could have always been there17:25
jjohansenI was going to boot an older instance to test if it was there17:25
jjohansento determine whether it was a regression or not17:25
sconklinsmb, jjohansen: could you please send me an email with as detailed a status as you have - I need to keep everyone informed on this, as we're slipping until this is resolved. I've forwarded Stefan's earlier status to you so you can build on that17:25

keesjjohansen: let me know if I can help with the qrt thingy17:40
jjohansenkees: will do17:40
keesjjohansen: fwiw, the SECCOMP test was added roughly in May 200917:42
smbQuestion would be whether we ever saw it ok with xen... Or just went meh...17:43
smb... seems to check devmem_is_allowed and that is defined in init.c... for which xen has a copy...17:44
keeswhich bug is thiat? devmem not working or seccomp killing it?17:47
smbkees, jjohansen So there is a difference here. The x86 code says "if (!page_is_ram(pagenr)) -> ok" while xen has something like if the page is beyond the given pages, then it is ok"17:48
smbif (mfn_to_local_pfn(pagenr) >= max_pfn)17:49
jjohansensmb: hrmmm, interesting17:49
keessmb: the devmem checks we never validated on Xen, that's for sure. and those were added in Oct 201017:53
jjohansenkees, smb: yeah I think we haven't run qrt since devmem checks were added17:55
jjohansenerr that is on lucid17:55
* jjohansen isn't sure because he does remember running qrt last fall for some other bugs around that time frame17:56
keesjjohansen: yeah, I don't think the devmem test was run on Xen. again, it's likely my test sucks. :)17:56
keesjjohansen: I'm trying to work up a more definitive test. right now it's a bit "just try a whole range of addresses"17:57
smbWell at least it may not take into account xen strangeness or xen needs some tweaking17:57
jjohansenkees:  is brute forcing the address space again :)17:57
smbBut either way. I also thought to have seen something fail on Lucid before17:57
keesjjohansen: hehe17:58
jjohansensmb: really, my recollections of xen qrt are that it was clean17:58
jjohansenthat is one of the things we made sure of before the release17:58
jjohansenbut there have been a few tests added since then, and those recollection are a lot more fuzzy17:59
smbjjohansen, The only thing one can be sure of is that one cannot be sure...18:00
jjohansensmb: yep18:01
smbProbably we quickly can check that with a current ec2 instance for Lucid. The latest kernel should not be in there. If the test fails too, then its at least not a new regression18:01
smbAnd the SECCOMP thing seems to be something that not always happens too. But feel free to get it a second try18:01
apwsmoser, hey ... you have a bug open which is getting dogpiled, and as reporter i'd like your feedback: bug #62536418:07

smosermy T400 was suspending and resuming fine in natty.18:08
