dholbachhiya07:31
dholbachdo you know of any reports of e1000e not working in raring?07:32
=== smb` is now known as smb
smbdholbach, not me, maybe some of the others07:54
dholbachsmb, a friend in the office just told me about it and I just yesterday noticed the same at home07:55
smbdholbach, I should have some boxes myself. not sure I noticed, but maybe I have not upgraded latest enough07:56
dholbachfor me it's on a x220, the friend of mine downgraded to 12.04 already :-/07:56
* cking has a x220, will sanity check this07:57
smbdholbach, did you have that with all versions of raring and quantal?07:57
smb12.04 would be precise...07:57
dholbachcking, not sure if you saw the original question - it's about ethernet not working07:57
dholbachsmb, no - I haven't used ethernet in a long while - just noticed it yesterday07:58
apwcking, yours is a ... oh you said that :)07:59
apwdiwic, about?  this = false thing ...08:01
diwicapw, any news?08:01
smbdholbach, one box is using e1000e in raring and still working but the kernel is back at 3.8.0-13. upgrading now08:01
apwdiwic, so i think this is a race, a race caused by the now double clear of that variable08:01
apwdiwic, i note that later you have produced a patch set adding locking in this area08:02
apwso clearly there is some race potential here08:02
apwbut the main point is actuall that variable is = false and made so by the memset just above08:02
* cking just upgrading his x220i - confirming it has e1000e and currently working08:02
apwand i think the double adds a window where it gets cleared twice08:02
diwicapw, what I don't get is how any kind of race related to eld_valid could affect analog (non-HDMI) playback08:03
apwall true, ... its hard to fathom, but the patch as is seems redundant08:04
apwdiwic, the only other reasonable inference (for me) is that the code layout changes it causes affects one of the other routines in the same file, and that is scarey08:06
diwicapw, that memset looks weird. 08:06
apwcking and i looked it over yesterday, it seemed to do something sane ish08:06
apwie. it clears out the first 3/4 of the structure, but not the buffers at the end08:07
diwicapw, ah, now I understand it08:07
apwa little odd i concur08:07
ckingthe memset() does the job08:07
Kanohi, does anybody update the unstable-3.9 branch soon?08:08
apwKano, it is likely to be a little delayed, we are in freezes right now and have other priorities08:09
Kanobasically it would be interesting to combine it with the uvd patches08:10
diwicapw, or the additional = false causes a gcc bug because it tries to optimise it away having seen the memset, but fails in some weird way?08:10
apwdiwic, we read the asm for both forms and they seemed right to us08:10
diwicapw, oh, you went that deep08:11
* diwic bows down in admiration08:11
apwdiwic, yeah we found pretty  much any addition to the routine also  avoided whatever the issue08:11
apwdiwic, there is clearly something nasty in there, whether it is related to races your new locking (in later kernels) avoid or not ... how to tell08:12
ckingit certainly seemed racy08:13
diwicapw, is it easy for you to file up a broken and a working kernel and attach alsa-info for both to compare for differences?08:13
diwicapw, for best reference alsa-info should be taken while playback is in progress08:14
apwyet, the code in question on the machine in question should be static as there is nothing in the port, ...08:14
diwicapw, did I miss anything?08:20
diwicapw, latest is <apw> yet, the code in question on the machine in question should be static as there is nothing in the port, ...08:20
apwdiwic, noope you miseed nothing08:20
apwdiwic, i'll try and get what you wanted.  it's my main machine08:21
ppisatibrb08:21
smbcking, dholbach, server now on 3.8.0-17 and e1000e still working (82574L NIC)08:26
dholbachwhat kind of info would you need in a bug report?08:26
dholbachI'll double check in a bit08:26
ckinghrm, my X220i with e1000e and latest kernel works OK08:27
smbdholbach, whatever ubuntu-bug linux collects. Though you probably need to work via apport-cli as you have no network at that time08:27
dholbachall right, will do - thanks08:28
infinityapw: I assume you noticed that lowlatency exploded in make oldconfig?08:35
apwflaps08:36
apwhow is that even possible08:36
infinityhttps://launchpadlibrarian.net/136658295/buildlog_ubuntu-raring-amd64.linux-lowlatency_3.8.0-17.10_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz08:36
infinityCause there was something new? :P08:36
apwi don't doubt that it did so, but ... the configs are made from the main ones on rebase, and those would have to explode too... in theory08:36
infinityAnd you didn't sync configs when you rebased?  I'm guessing?08:36
apwthat happens on rebase as part of the rebase08:37
apwbut i will go and poke it, as this 'cannot' happen08:37
Laneyhello kernel friends. Is there some badness with the -17 kernel in raring? I'm seeing nvidia-310 now not compiling: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5691789/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/5691769/08:57
apwLaney, i don't think we expect it to be significantly different from the previous version, which worked i assume09:16
Laneyindeed09:17
Laneyhmm, it's checking for SUBLEVEL -le 5 and that's now 609:21
apwLaney, so an issue with nvidia then?09:22
Laneywell, assuming that SUBLEVEL increase is right then I guess so09:22
Laneytseliot: ^ looks like bug #1166639; do you know if n-g-d-310 needs an update?09:26
ubot2Launchpad bug 1166639 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-310 (Ubuntu) "nvidia-310 310.32-0ubuntu2: nvidia-310 kernel module failed to build" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/116663909:26
tseliotLaney: I guess the correct headers were simply not installed: *** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***09:27
tseliotLaney: or the DKMS log is bogus09:27
Laneytseliot: They are - I got a set -x log of conftest.sh and it's failing when (presumably) checking the kernel version at line 170609:28
tseliotLaney: I'll have a look at it here. Thanks09:30
LaneySeems like that check should be reworked a bit09:31
Laneythanks tseliot 09:31
ppisatimumble down?09:38
ckingppisati, seems to be borked09:48
ppisaticking: i'm back in09:48
ppisaticking: yep09:48
* ppisati -> out for lunch10:26
tseliotLaney, apw, ogasawara: do you know why SUBLEVEL was changed to 6 in the Makefile in 3.8.0-17.27? It was previously set to 5. This makes nvidia's build fail13:54
tseliothttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu%2Fubuntu-raring.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=SUBLEVEL13:55
tseliotand by previously I mean in ABI 1613:55
apwtseliot, it is the third number of the upstream version, it changes when that changes13:56
apwVERSION = 313:56
apwPATCHLEVEL = 813:56
apwSUBLEVEL = 613:56
ogasawaratseliot: what apw said, we rebased to upstream stable v3.8.613:56
apwso that says this is based on 3.8.6 stable update from upstream13:56
apwit would be a completely normal action when we are in rebase territory, ie before release13:57
apwand actaully any time we apply stable we'd do it, so expect it :)13:57
tseliotapw: does this check make any sense to you? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5692393/13:58
tseliotI don't see why sublevel should be less than or equal to 513:58
apwso i think that is probabally designed for the 2.x days, it feels like it is trying to check for versions greater than 2.6.5 when perhaps the makefile name changed? something like that, it also just lookes borkes14:00
apwborked14:00
tseliothmm... removing the "-a $SUBLEVEL -le 5" part gets it to work... I'll send NVIDIA a patch14:01
Laneyit is borked14:01
Laneyprobably ought to check the major version too?14:01
apwtseliot, yeah i think ... it assumes the first digit is always 2, then it says for 2.6.x where .x < 5 then we need to change makefile to the old one14:01
apwbut ... as it doesn't check the 2, that means it now hits for 3.6 and above14:02
apw(i think)14:02
tseliotthe comments in the code look a bit dated: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5692404/14:03
apwtseliot, so that matches what I guessed i think, i suspect just zapping the whole lot is reasonable now, we don't have anything that old any more14:09
tseliotapw: are you suggesting that I skip the entire check or just the -le 5 thing (which seems less risky)?14:11
apwif the comments concur that they intended to select one bit of code for 2.6.5 and older and one for 2.6.6 and later, then we can rip out the decision en toto and use the code for 2.6.6 and above14:12
tseliotapw: here's the complete picture (with some code ripped out), just to give you an idea: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5692420/ (and we're hitting the "else"14:16
