tjaaltonanyone able to confirm that the ubuntu-r kernel oopses 0.2 seconds into the boot? mainline works fine, but I'm unable to see the origin of the oops..08:36

henrixbut i'll be adding those tags to some of the kernels later today, as we're pretty much done with the prep phase :)10:52

henrixthe bot will pick these tags once it updates the report10:55
henrixcking: ah, i see you've already commented the bugs with the test results10:59

phillwhi guys, with respect to bug 1043518 there is a working patch in place via https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857300 but that is absolute limit of my scant knowledge of the inner workings of kernels. Could someone take a look and see if it can be added to our 3.5.x kernel? Thanks.11:57

henrixrtg: regarding bug #1039157, a fix as been applied to the lucid kernel12:39

henrixrtg: however, i believe this fix shouldn't have been applied, as vmwgfx driver is not build12:39
henrixits obviously an harmless fix, but there's no way to verify the bug :)12:40
rtghenrix, hmm12:40
rtghenrix, well, I guess its harmless and not too difficult to verify.12:43
rtgoh, you already said that :)12:43
henrixrtg: i say "harmless", but not easy to verify...12:44
henrixrtg: since the code is not compiled, i can only confirm it is *not* compiled12:44

jsalisburyrtg, upstream responded on bug 1045027 .  They are working on a fix, but if they can't find one, they will revert b398aa31 in 3.5.  Should we revert b398aa31 since we know it fixes the bug, and we don't know how long upstream will take?14:13

sforsheebjf, I've got some test kernels for your wireless issue I'd like you to try out. There will still be performance issues, but they should get rid of the "no where to go" errors.14:36
sforsheebjf, http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp1046507/14:36
sforsheebjf, if you aren't using amd64 let me know and I'll build i386 packages14:37
bjfsforshee: i'm using amd64, will give it a spin14:38
sforsheebjf, thanks14:38
bjfsforshee: no, thank _you_. this is the system i'm taking to uds and i'd really like the wireless to work :-)14:38
sforsheebjf, with the iperf tests I still get complete stalls of network performance sometimes. I think some of the periodic drops in performance might be related to something going wrong during background scans.14:39
rtgwho ever thought back ground scans were a good idea ?14:40
rtgespecially on a half duplex radio14:40
bjfsforshee: this is a 3.6-rc7 based kernel ?14:41
sforsheebjf, also you'll see a lot of messages about now space in the fifo and prep_xdu retries. Those should be harmless, I'll probably add a patch to demote those to debug-only14:41
sforsheebjf, yes, it's based off of the wireless-testing tree14:41
sforsheertg, it seems like brcmsmac may be loosing some packets on rx during scans. I haven't dug into it yet, may be a problem with ps-poll.14:42
rtgsforshee, ps-poll should be easy enough to verify. just turn it off ?14:43
sforsheertg, I need to look closer at what happens when we go off-channel. My assumption is that we send a ps-poll frame to the AP so it will queue up frames until we come back, but I'm not sure if that's the case. If that's what's happening and we turn of ps-poll wouldn't we loose all packets during the scan?14:45
rtgsforshee, IIRC the client can only send ps-poll requests. lemme check the spec.14:46
sforsheertg, I'm a little confused about the names of things it seems. ps-poll is what the sta sends to retrieve frames queued by the AP.14:48
sforsheeanyway, I'm going to look into it, just haven't gotten to it yet14:49
bjfsforshee: i've got it running, will let you know more in a bit14:49
rtgsforshee, correct. now that I think about it using ps-poll makes sense if the STA is going off channel. the AP shouldn't send and directed packaets to a STA that has not submitted a ps-poll request.14:49
rtgof course, the AP if free to drop any queued packets after awhile if the STA doesn't get around to sending a ps-poll request14:50
sforsheertg, right14:51
rtgsforshee, also, PS-POLL was an optional feature in the original spec. I believe it was negotiated during the association phase.14:55
sforsheertg, I think you're right about it being negotiated14:57

* rtg -> EOD20:16
sforsheebjf, when you were getting all of those warnings did you have heavy network activity on the machine?21:02
bjfsforshee, no, just tbird and was browsing to cnn.com21:05
bjfsforshee, i recognize something tipped it over, just wasn't doing anything special at the time that I can think would have done it21:06
sforsheebjf, okay. brcmsmac will queue a lot of data internally, and I suspect that sometimes when it goes to flush it just has too much data queued to send in the time it's giving the flush to complete. Hard to tell if that was the case for you.21:07
sforsheebjf, I don't see any of the "No where to go" messages though, which is what those patches are really meant to address.21:09
bjfsforshee, ack, i've not seem them either21:10
sforsheebjf, I'm going to keep working on the other issues. I've found that if I do iperf with UDP packets in either direction I can't trigger performance problems, except during scans. It seems doing lots of tx and rx simultaneously is most likely to cause it to bind up.21:13
