I don't believe this is a regression, at least the 8GB thing. The
HIGHMEM64G config option has had a

depends on !M386 && !M486

for quite a while now. It certainly was in 2.6.25 already.

So if you want PAE support, we do require that you ask for a kernel that
has cmpxchg8b support (needed for the atomic 64-bit clearing of a PAE page
table entry). Not to mention a CPU that supports PAE. And that is simply
incompatible with "I want it to work on an i486 too".

So saying "I want a kernel that uses PAE _and_ works on an i486" is simply
nonsensical. If we ever supported it, it was a mistake, and wouldn't have
actually worked on an i486 anyway.

which was introduced just after v2.6.25, but not discovered until now,
probably because it requires the (admittedly obscure) combination of
lockdep and slub/object debugging.

From what you have written it looks the dependency should actually be:

depends on !M386 && !M486 && !M586 && !M586TSC && !M586MMX

as none of the pre-Pentium-Pro processors had the PAE feature (I am not
sure about non-Intel implementations, so the case of M586 would have to be
investigated). It was originally planned for the Pentium, but abandoned
because of the die size required -- the details behind the story were
obviously never very well known, but it was definitely related to some
cost implications. The feature was reportedly documented in the earlier
not-so-widely-available revisions of the Pentium manuals and later on
removed while some of the other stuff was migrated to the (in)famous
Appendix H. This also explains the odd location of the PAE bits among the
CPUID flags and in the CR4 register, which was initially marked as
reserved.

No, this is looking like a different bug.

The behavior of that bug would not usually be a crash, but
rather stuck connections, and I severely doubt anything in
that specweb test setup is using the deferred-accept option
which is a requirement for hitting those problems.

Yes, it's the non-intel ones that would keep me from saying !M586.

For intel, PAE was a PPro feature (at least officially, as you point out),
but I do not know about various other manufacturers. From personal
experience, the line between Pentium and PPro features doesn't tend to be
totally black-and-white (although I suspect that when it comes to PAE it
_may_ be).

Are you sure? Because that revert seems to basically revert all changes
since 2.6.25 in tcp_rcv_established(), which is the function that oopses.
After that revert, the function is back to exactly what it used to be.

Of course, inlining makes it less obvious what other changes end up doing,
but even the offset in the function (not quite at the very end of it, but
not that far off that end either) matches where you'd expect that that
'tcp_defer_accept_check()' thing used to be before the revert.

Also: see the report saying

"As a matter of fact, kernel paniced at statement
"queue->rskq_accept_tail->dl_next = req" in function reqsk_queue_add,
because queue->rskq_accept_tail is NULL. The call chain is:
tcp_rcv_established => inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add => reqsk_queue_add."

and realize that that whole inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add() call only exists
in that tcp_defer_accept_check() thing that no longer exists.

IOW, I'm pretty damn sure that the bug entry above is very much a result
of the tcp_defer_accept_check() thing, and that commit ec0a196626 fixed
it by reverting it.

Hey, I might be wrong. But see above. I don't think I am. I think the
deferred-accept was just even buggier than you believed.

I agree with the gist of your analysis.

And it seems that Apache does try to use the deferred accept socket
option. So we may indeed have a hit on this IA64 bug.

The wording in the report about versions is a little confusing:

With kernel 2.6.26-rc5 and a git kernel just between rc4
and rc5, my kernel panic...

Does this mean that the problem appeared between rc4 and rc5? Or
that all 2.6.26-rcX releases have the problem? That's an important
fact because the change in question showed up in 2.6.26-rc1, as it
came in the inital networking merge for the 2.6.26 merge window.

Because of the requirements to trigger the new code, this case is
not likely to match the revert. SSH absolutely does not use the
deferred accept socket option.

Let's look at the change in question.

Every single code path touched in the data paths are guarded
with "tp->defer_tcp_accept.request" which will be NULL unless
1) defer-accept socket option enabled and 2) a new connection
got queued up there.

Nothing about the normal accept queue handling got modified by those
changes which were reverted.

And note that this means the behavior change only hits listening
sockets. So if we have a report that client outgoing SSH
connections hang with the current kernel, that report cannot
reasonably match this revert.

I also anticipate that if this change could trigger problems for
non-deferred-accept cases, we'd see a ton more reports than we have.

And we did some research and one of the only major servers that use
this obscure defer-accept feature is distcc and apache. It is this
element of Ingo's bug report (that he uses distcc heavily and it was a
distcc socket which hung) that helped us narrow things down.

The SSH report clearly states "With kernel 2.6.26-rc5, ssh connections
to _remote_ servers randomly hang". So this is a report about SSH
client connections under 2.6.26-rc5, not SSH server connections and
therefore not listening sockets.

So right now I'd say that the IA64 case could definitely be a match
but the SSH case very much is not.

Ok. The only reason I matched up the ssh case was because it was reported
to fix the stuck connections that Ingo had with distcc-over-loopback, so I
thought the stuck-ssh thing could be the same.

But if you are sure ssh doesn't trigger the same thing, I really didn't
have anything else to go on than "stuck TCP connection sounds familiar".

Well, we know how to create (and to avoid) the problem. Since the original patch
adversely affects existing user space, it could be argued that it is a
regression, but I see that there is a counter argument that the udev rule that
triggers the problem is quite simply a bad rule.

I'll leave to those more closely concerned that rule on that.

I replied via email - as you requested earlier in the thread - and
attached the result to that email. Did you not get it?

i think the current regression tracking methods that Rafael uses work
very well and i'd like to thank Rafael for those efforts - to me as a
subsystem maintainer it is a _very_ useful thing.

In this case there was no real harm from the "this bug is already fixed"
condition - just an extra email. Real harm would only come from missed
regressions or from incorrectly closed regressions - but those are not
happening.

note that there is no "robot" involved in changing the state of bugs -
the real important work here is done by Rafael and checking whether a
bug is still relevant is an inevitably manual work. The mails and
reports are auto-generated but crawling discussions and determining the
status of a regression is very hard to automate.

Sorry, I thought a robot missed my comments in the bug tracking system for
the second time:

1.
Comment was on 2008-06-06 13:27:16 ( http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10864#c3 )
The mail was coming: 7 Jun 2008 22:42:57 +0200 (CEST) ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/7/193 )

2.
Comment was on 2008-06-13 23:19:53 ( http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10864#c4 )
The mail was coming: 14 Jun 2008 22:12:04 +0200 (CEST) ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/14/160 )

Nevertheless the bug #10864 can be closed I think.

It happened, again, with the new Ubuntu x-intel driver. Rebooting with
nousplash solved the problem, but alas, sometime simply rebooting solves
the problem. It seems a race...

Does disabling CONFIG_X86_PAT also fix it for you?

No, it is not. The other problem described in this message seems to be a
recent regression, though, at least the reporter thinks so.

Exactly what happens to you to? Do you also see the artifacts?
Do you also use vesafb? Do the artifacts go away if you boot
with 'video=vfb:off' to disable the framebuffer? Do they go away if you
compile a kernel without PAT or boot with 'nopat'?

No. Is that related to PAT being enabled?

Looks unrelated to me.

I do not know, just a wild guess. I noticed the flashing color when

Dunno. Do I need to recompile or there is some boot option to disable

Frans, With or with out pat, in the recent kernels (like 2.6.26-rc4/rc5 etc), ioremap()
uses UC- and PCI mmap of /sys/devices/pci.../resource (used by X) uses UC-

And fb_mmap() also uses UC-.

It's interesting that you don't see this artifact with "nopat". Essentially with
or with out pat enabled, we use the same memory attributes. So depending on the
MTRR setup (set by X server), effective memory attribute across different mappings
should be same (which is UC- or WC with mtrr).

Can you also check, if there is any impact with kernel boot param for vesafb "mtrr:3"?

thanks,
suresh

Hello Suresh. Thanks for responding.

I've done 4 successive boots with the boot parameters as shown below.
Each boot was basically: set correct parameters in grub -> login to KDE
-> reboot and check for artifacts.

1) (none) --> clean
2) vga=791 --> artifacts
3) vga=791 nopat --> clean
4) vga=791 video=vesafb:mtrr:3 --> artifacts

So the mtrr option did not help (if I passed it correctly; the double ":"
is somewhat non-intuitive). The kernel log also does not show any
difference I can see in the last boot, but I don't know if the mtrr option
is supposed to show up in any way.

Well, PAE is quite a significant block to implement and Intel kept it
hidden until they published the long awaited PentiumPro manual sometime in
1996. I am fairly sure the K5 did not implement it (it may have had PSE
and VME, especially in the later revisions) and Google does not show up
any Cyrix processors with PAE. I may have a K5 manual somewhere, so I can
see if I can verify it.

Please also note these processors tried to compete with Intel on the
desktop market where 4GB of RAM was completely unreasonable in late 90s.
I think unless someone can recall a counter-example, it can be safely
assumed these chips did not have the PAE. We could try to extend the
dependency and see if anybody screams.

If the initlevel is '3', then the mtrr option will show up in /proc/mtrr
otheriwse not. In init level '5', X server will add the mtrr (irrespective
of boot option, if it's not already there) and will remove it when the X process
completes its execution.

Can you also please try if "mtrr:1" makes any difference. This will setup the
mapping as UC during boot. Apart from PAT WC mapping(which we shouldn't be using
in your current setup), UC MTRR should override all the other PAT mappings and
should be consistent across X and VT console mappings. As such, if the
problem is because of improper aliasing, then with this UC MTRR,
my understanding is that we shouldn't see any artifacts with the "mtrr:1".

with this mtrr:1, we should now see a UC mtrr setting in /proc/mtrr.

OK, did all of that.
I should probably note that in both cases, the kernel is loaded/booted by using kexec.
Both boot logs are captured generated via netconsole.

The failing boot log is netcon-4409.log. The working boot log (CONFIG_NUMA=y) is
netcon-4410.log. Enabling CONFIG_NUMA makes the following changes:

any chance to use normal serial console to capture the boot log?

The bug still exists, however, a bisect on another machine with the same
userland leads to different commit
(47f86834bbd4193139d61d659bebf9ab9d691e37 "redo locking of tty->pgrp"),
so it is not all that clear and stable.

I will investigate further but the entry should probably stay for now.

Now that would actually make a lot more sense as a root cause.

That was a useful pointer. I do see some differences when I compare

mtrr:1 still gives the artifacts and no any difference to /proc/mtrr.

Oops. Just realized that this is completely bogus. I used the .old log for
this one while I used logs for still running Xorg sessions for the
others. So this was actually the only one that contains Xorg shutdown
messages at all.

Experiment time. In _proc_set_tty() in tty_io.c move the

tty->session = get_pid(task_session(tsk));

back inside the lock just before

tty->pgrp = get_pid(task_pgrp(tsk));

Hi,
That hangs the same way as the previous.

BTW, that kernel boot option needs to be documented in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt ...

Like this:?

spin_lock()
put_pid()
put_pid()
tty->session =
tty->pgrp =
spin_unlock()

That does not fix it.

Even the K6 didn't have PAE. The Athlon was AMD's first CPU that had it.

I agree. To the best of my knowledge (and looking through output of
x86info from lots of old CPUs), Intel had the only CPUs with PAE in
that era.

The second bisection was the wrong one, sorry for the confusion.

I tried again (manually) and the result is (still) this:

Everything fine with HEAD at e5238442 "serial_core: Prepare for BKL push
down".

Weird behaviour as described with HEAD at 04f378b19 "tty: BKL pushdown".

Dave, what is the status of this bug?

It's currently listed as a 2.6.26-rc regression.

Is it actually confirmed that 2.6.25 is fine?

According to the thread of the bug report there should now be a bug
report in the Red Hat Bugzilla for it. Bug number?

Thanks
Adrian

Any progress on this issue? It's still there with -rc7, but I doubt that
comes as a surprise.

Has anyone tried to reproduce this? I would think that should be trivial.

Just as a summary:
- Intel 82945G/GZ graphics [8086:2772] (ICH7 based system)
- FB_VESA=y, FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
- boot with vga=791
- Log in to X and KDE; I do need to really log in there are no artifacts
if I exit X from the kdm login dialog
- artifacts show on logout

I doubt it's KDE related or even related to my specific graphics card.

It may well be related to what is or has been displayed on the display
before logging out, so running some apps may make sense. Seems like I do
see remnants of for example aptitude (Debian apt frontend) after I've run
it in an X term (KDE's konsole).

Hi,

This appears to be a known bug. There's a Fedora bugzilla record for
it here, which contains a patch to fix the problem:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448866

The bug does not appear to be in 2.6.25; 2.6.25 is fine afaict.

Thanks for the pointer.

Yup, the patch in your Bugzilla is for code that is new in 2.6.26.

Can you push your patch for inclusion into 2.6.26 so that 2.6.26 won't
get released with this regression?

Hi Adrian,

Unfortunately, I cannot. All access to the gfs2 "-nmw" git tree is
controlled by Steve Whitehouse, and he is on vacation/holiday until
tomorrow.

I've submitted the patch to cluster-devel, so hopefully he'll push it
as soon as he returns tomorrow.
