cooloneyppisati: nice trip for vacation. heh08:46
xnoxhrw: I am all ears, since I am experiencing similar. But for me it might be lvm related.08:47
* xnox is not kernel dev, just a lurker.08:48
ppisaticooloney: thank you :)08:48
hrwxnox: http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/19505/33113/ is what I want to check08:48
hrwxnox: disk will be mostly used with usb2.0 laptop but for future use I prefer usb3.0 ;)08:49
xnoxhmmm... for me it just spins down and gets "ejected" and then all of my LVs and VGs are borked =/ giving i/o errors. not sure it's the same.08:50
cooloneyppisati: if you need me take care of some ARM stuff during your vacation, please let me know08:52
ppisaticooloney: feel free to chime in, the ti-omap4 lp bugs page is always looking for some love :)08:59
cooloneyogra_: hey, i'm looking at the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/74613709:49
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 746137 in jasper-initramfs "Page allocation failure on Pandaboard and Beagle XM" [Undecided,Fix released]09:49
ogra_cooloney, ah, cool, note that this isnt arm specific 09:49
ogra_seems to be an issue with many USB based wlan cards09:50
cooloneyogra_: you mentioned to use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL, is that any bug about that?09:50
ogra_cooloney, not sure, marvin24 pointed me in #ubuntu-arm to it 09:50
ogra_ask him, i guess09:50
cooloneyogra_: oh, can we reproduce on x86? actually i got this on my pandaES frequently09:51
ogra_i think you can if you boot with a really low mem= value and have the same highmem split in the kernel 09:51
ogra_but ask marvin24, he was really into that bug for a while09:52
cooloneyogra_: ok, cool09:52
cooloneyogra_: also from infinity's comments, looks like if we change vm.min_free_kbytes = 32768, the issue is gone09:55
ogra_right, its just that we dont want to set that var for everyone...09:55
ogra_and setting a sysctl variable conditionally isnt easy09:55
ogra_also its somnething that looks like the kernel should set it right09:56
ogra_instead of userspace with hackish detection scripts09:56

hrwhow to disable all abi checks etc? I want to test some usb3.0 patches and kernel compilation drives me mad10:00
cooloneyogra_: looks like marvin24 is not online10:07
ogra_patient :) its noon here, he is probably at lunch10:08
cooloneyogra_: oh, got it, i assume he is in US10:08
ogra_germany 10:08
ogra_about 80km south of me 10:09
cooloneyogra_: that's close. how's you imx6 board.10:09
ogra_fine, idling on the shelf 10:10
ogra_i'm working on an automated qemu based testsuite atm ... so i havent looked much at real HW the last days10:10
hrwok, time to reboot and check will usb3 drive work10:15
cooloneyogra_: i think ppisati probably have already sloved this issue in Ubuntu-3.5.0-208.1410:16
ogra_dunno, i havent seen the issue on that kernel ... but then i didnt do many RAM hungry tasks yet10:16

cooloneySigned-off-by: Andy Green <andy.green@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Pisati <paolo.pisati@canonical.com>10:21
cooloneyogra_: i saw it set that min_free_kbytes to 32K as minium value10:22
ogra_ugh, ugly 10:24
ogra_we cant do that for omap i suppose10:25
ogra_might work for omap4 indeed10:25
cooloneyogra_: yeah, only on ti-omap4 branch10:26
cooloneyactually there is no kernel config option for that default value. i think we can introduce one10:27
ogra_in mainline ? 10:27
ogra_on the pandaboard that bug isnt hitting as hard as on the beagle ... so that fix would have to go into master too10:28
cooloneyif it is a right method to solve the issue, i think it is good for mainline10:28
ogra_k10:28
cooloneyogra_: right, but master also includes x86.10:29
cooloneyprobably have an option named CONFIG_MIN_FREE_KBYTES, if the min_free_kbytes < CONFIG_MIN_FREE_KBYTES, then let min_free_kbytes = CONFIG_MIN_FREE_KBYTES10:30
cooloneyso we can set CONFIG_MIN_FREE_KBYTES as 32K in omap and omap410:31
ogra_yeah10:32
ogra_sounds good10:32
cooloneyogra_: but maybe kernel maintainers will push that back as why not change that in userspace. heh10:32
ppisatiogra_: cooloney IMO that issue was never really resolved10:34
cooloneyppisati: ok, so even with the patches you applied from linaro, we still have this issue, right?10:35
cooloneyppisati: i will try this kernel soon10:36

WorfI hope here is the right place for questions like this: Maybe i'm missing something obvious, but i tried a minimal ubuntu install with debootstrap and with  linux-image-3.5.0-11-generic, and i have all kinds of hardware support issues. Like no mouse device, harddisk devices missing, network card missing, ... Did i miss something? I admit i'm not familiar how kernel stuff is packaged in Ubuntu ...14:38
ckingbjf, can you add some more context? which kernel perhaps? ;-)14:39

smbcking, Did that already, but trying to pass on some other pointers to things I may forget17:14
