ehwhi, guys, i'm looking to rebuild the natty backport kernel for lucid with a couple of patches; is it radically different than https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel ?11:20
apwehw not radically different, the backport kenel is in the lucid repo on the appropriate lts-backport branch11:24
ehwapw: ah, ok; so if i git clone the lucid tree, it's one of the branches?11:30

hertonapw: can you verify bug 805494? (well, it's a build issue and we could mark as ok, I think just check what code is currently in proposed, don't know...)12:29

ubot2Launchpad bug 690370 in linux-ti-omap4 "Strange out of memory on pandaboard" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69037012:58
apwppisati, ^^12:58
tgardnerlamont, you should hassle ppisati12:58
* lamont would just like a time horizon for when he can drop the ugly hack he has for $arch=armel12:59
lamontsince ISTR it turned out to be "usb on arm", not "panda" :(13:00
apwlamont, whats the ugly hack13:00
lamontvm.min_free_kbytes = 1638413:03
lamontwhich also doesn't quite always provide enough to survive13:03
lamontmost of the arm builders are running with just 8192, but the image builders turned out to need, well ,more13:04
apwthat potential patch is utterly vile, a nice cacheline bouncer13:07
ppisatilamont: last i heard, our builders were ok13:38
ppisatilamont: but i could be wrong13:38
lamontppisati: because we hack around the problem13:39
ppisatilamont: ah, i wasn't aware13:39
lamontgiven that rebooting most of them involves someone physically in the data center, I'm not really inclined to test until someone tells me they've fixed the bug13:39
apwlamont, i thought we now had new ones13:40
lamontapw: new is relative13:40
apwlamont, well ones we can remotly cycle13:40
lamont*aceae are remotely powerstabbable, the others are not13:40
lamontpanda boards are a current ticket being worked on this week, might even get done by then, though I'13:40
ppisatilamont: does it mean that we are running the builders with that hack, otherwise we experience the problem?13:40
lamontm getting less confident in friday as the ready date13:41
ppisatilamont: did you try ming lei patch?13:41
lamontppisati: I'm saying that when they started panicking, I was pointed at that bug as the likely cause, and setting min_free_bytes to 8192 fixed things, so we went with that as the cause and have been happy since, other than a brief period when we lit up some beaglexm image builders and discoverd that 8192 doesn't seem to be enough for them13:42
lamontppisati: only noticed the patch today.  if someone wanted to roll me a kernel to try on one of the builders, I could drop the hack there and give it a new kernel and we could see how long it takes to fall over, though at this point, I'm not aware of what build would be a good testcase13:43
lamontafk for a few13:46
ppisatilamont: do the builders use NFS for building? or do they have local usb disks?14:11
* ogasawara back in 2014:23
lamontppisati: the image builders use nfs, the non-image builders use local disk, the pandas-to-be will be devmapper with local disk over a read-only nfs14:25
lamontactually, the pandas-to-be may be localdisk only, haven't decided completely yet14:25
tgardnerherton, do you remember what bug it was that you worked with Lamont on the 'af_unix: Only allow recv on connected seqpacket sockets.' regression ? Its in the proposed 2.6.35 stable update, so I thought I should point out to the list the possibility for regression.14:26
ppisatilamont: uhm, and i guess image builders show this problem while the non-image builders don't have it (or don't show it so often)14:26
lamontppisati: it was much more repeatable (at 8192) on the image builders, than it was on the non-image builders with no hack14:27
ppisatilamont: i see14:28
hertontgardner: let me check here, looking14:28
lamontppisati: from that, you can infer the timeline of the hack14:28
ppisatilamont: i see, ok, if i roll a new kernel with tha patch, can you test it (without the hack)?14:29
hertontgardner: bug 79151214:30
ubot2Launchpad bug 791512 in linux-meta "tcp connections hang in forwarding machine" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79151214:30
ppisatilamont: on one of the image builders i mean14:30
tgardnerherton, thanks14:30
lamontppisati: I believe so14:30
ppisatilamont: actually the patch will just limit the numer of simultaneous skb14:31
ppisatilamont: so it won't fix it14:31
lamontheh14:31
ppisatilamont: when you it the problem, it will start to drop pkts14:31
lamontdropping packets is better than dropping the  machine14:31
ppisatilamont: and i guess with NFS that would be trigger another problem14:31
ppisatilamont: but does it panic?14:31
lamontoh yeah.14:32
lamont"trying to allocate memory on interrupt stack with no free memory" or such14:32
lamontI'll take kernel panic for $200, bob.14:32
ppisatii see, ok so, let's try with that patch14:33
* ppisati goes to compile a new natty kernel14:33
ppisatilamont: natty right?14:33
lamonthahaha14:33
lamontmaverick on those machines14:33
ppisatiah ok :)14:33
lamontthe pandafarm will be natty14:33
lamontand if #distro is willing to sign off on building lucid bits on a natty kernel (y'all factor into that answer...), then the greater-we will be happier and maybe we can get all the arm builders up to natty14:34
lamontbut we'll probably want to hold off on oneiric until the next LTS, and then flash forward to the LTS14:35
* lamont heads to town, afk for a bit14:35
* ppisati wonders if there's a way (zone tunable, sysctl, /sys/*, etcetc) to tweak/limit/throttle skb allocations by size/requester14:37
apwppisati, it doesn't look like it, but worth trying to find out from more expert people14:40
ppisatiapw: i'm pretty sure there's some kind of mechanism14:41
ppisatiuhm...14:41
apwppisati, i was saying at the level the code is being modded, above it there may be, i'd take my input as "don't know, you should find out"14:41

davmor2ogasawara: sorry for the delay needed to install some missing packages to get the the desktop15:37
ppisatilamont: please test it on a builder (that shows that bug) and don't forget to remove the min_free hack15:37
davmor2ogasawara: kernel .5 generic has working wifi15:37
ogasawaradavmor2: ack, k gimme a few minutes to fire up a kernel build to start bisecting the set of patches15:38
davmor2ogasawara: just trying .6 does too15:41
ogasawaradavmor2: eh? I thought .6 was broken for you15:41
davmor2.7 doesn't15:42
davmor2ogasawara: just gone throught them all15:42
ogasawaradavmor2: ah, thanks for clarifying15:43
* ogasawara restarts to bisect between the right versions15:43
davmor2ogasawara: sorry for the confusion :)15:43
ogasawaradavmor2: so could I get you to now test http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.0-rc7-oneiric/15:46
ogasawaradavmor2: it's the upstream v3.0-rc6 kernel which the Ubuntu 3.0.0-6.7 kernel was based on15:46
ogasawaradavmor2: just want to confirm that works15:46

davmor20300 even16:14
ogasawaradavmor2: hrm, really?  well that's not what I was expecting16:15
ogasawaradavmor2: and you installed the header packages too?16:16
davmor2ogasawara: all 3 .deb packages16:16
jmburgessHey kernel team.  I was wondering of bug 814323 should he marked as triaged. Its a known problem with the virtualbox module and I've forwarded it on upstream16:18
ubot2Launchpad bug 814323 in linux "Virtualbox 4.1 (vboxdrv) Blocks Machine Suspend" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/81432316:18
ogasawaradavmor2: hrm, k lets see if I can find a different way to bisect then.  can you try http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.0-oneiric/16:19
davmor2ogasawara: I'm just double checking should I be setting these up from a kernel with the wifi working? I'm assuming is shouldn't matter but as I've found out before assumption is the best policy16:36
davmor2isn't16:36
ogasawaradavmor2: it shouldn't matter16:36
davmor2ogasawara: that's what I thought, right this is the last one up and running now,   no wifi16:37
apwjmburgess, possibly so yes16:37
ogasawaradavmor2: and you said 3.0.0-6.7 was working right16:38
davmor2ogasawara: let me grab you the uname of the one that was working16:39
ogasawaradavmor2: cool16:39
davmor2ogasawara: http://paste.ubuntu.com/653236/16:48
davmor2ogasawara: if you want something other than uname -a let me know :)16:49
ogasawaradavmor2: nope that confirms 3.0.0-6.716:49
ogasawaradavmor2: "3.0.0-6-generic #7"16:50
davmor2ogasawara: that's fine then :)16:50
ogasawaradavmor2: K, give me a about 30min.  I'm going to rebase the patches we were carrying for -6.7 onto v3.0 and build you a kernel to retest16:52
davmor2ogasawara: I'm off at 18:30 and it's 17:52, I'll happy try it tomorrow for you if you drop the link/package on the bug16:53

jmburgessSorry that was to apw, not ape17:49
apwjmburgess, hard to know if its is really a dup or not17:50
apwthe other one implies it is recognised as a touchpad, which does not fit the symptoms here17:51
