ubot5`Launchpad bug 1566726 in linux-lts-utopic (Ubuntu) "System freeze after update to 3.16.0-69-generic [NULL pointer reference in radeon_fence_ref]" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/156672608:52
infinityThat sounds ungood.09:03
infinityjsalisbury: ^-- Care to escalate that a bit?09:03
apwkamal, ^10:32
jsalisburyinfinity, thanks for the pointer on that bug.  yofel, I'll post a test kernel shortly.14:35
jsalisburyapw, kamal, looks like the offending commit is already reverted in -next:14:44
jsalisburya907233 Revert "drm/radeon: hold reference to fences in radeon_sa_bo_new"14:44
jsalisbury72a5cff drm/radeon: hold reference to fences in radeon_sa_bo_new14:44
* jsalisbury is building a test kernel of -next for testing14:45
kamaljsalisbury, ha!  yup, I was _just_ confirming exactly that with Luis.14:45
kamaljsalisbury, that is indeed the fix, and yes, its already committed.   How about you build a test kernel (either of the top of utopic-next, or with just that revert applied), so we can get the bug submitters to verify it?14:47
jsalisburykamal, I have test kernel of the top of utopic-next building now.  I'll have it verified14:48
kamaljsalisbury, very good, thanks14:48
jsalisburynp14:48
kamaljsalisbury, also fyi, I've determined that the problem should only affect 3.16 (so Utopic only, no other Ubuntu kernels)14:49
jsalisburygreat14:49
dschatzberghey all, I'm trying to test an upstream kernel (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-rc2-wily/), how do I apply the patches provided? Applying them naively doesn't seem to set the permissions right?15:06
genkgojsalisbury: exciting, coming really close now20:05
genkgowhere can i look that bad commit 5044635f00, is that a commit from linus?20:05
genkgoi mean linus' repo linux on github20:06
jsalisburygenkgo, yes, it's in Linus' tree.  That particular commit isn't the cause.  That was just the tip of the kernel tree for that test kernel build.20:37
genkgook, i think i don't get what a bisect actually means20:37
genkgoi will read upon that20:38
jsalisburygenkgo, there is a wiki page that has some info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection20:38
genkgojsalisbury: wonderful, i will read that!20:38
genkgojsalisbury: ah, i get it, it just a fast way to pick a wrong commit21:21
genkgojust like you did by picking the latest good and first bad version of the kernel21:22
genkgobut only with those sha identifiers it's less obvious21:22
