Hi Ingo,
I have a question about the highmem page IO deadlock fix which is in
2.4.2-ac. (the emergency memory thing)
The old create_bounce code used to set PF_MEMALLOC on the task flags and
call wakeup_bdflush(1) in case GFP_BUFFER page allocation failed. That was
broken because flush_dirty_buffers() could try to flush a buffer pointing
to highmem page, which would end up in create_bounce again, but with
PF_MEMALLOC.
Have you tried to make flush_dirty_buffers() only flush buffers pointing
to lowmem pages in case the caller wants it to do so?
This way you can call flush_dirty_buffers() with the guarantee you're
going to free useful (lowmem) memory. This also throttles high mem writes
giving priority to low mem ones.
2.4.2-ac3 was fine.
These are the only USB changes I see since then.

If I boot with my mouse plugged in, or plug it in after the system
is up, I get an oops.
While I was buildong the kernel I got a message from the kernel

Every thing continued OK, but I wasn't using the mouse.
I rebooted with the new kernel and got an oops when the init scripts
started looking for usb devices.
In 2.4.2-ac3 booting with the mouse shows this in the old log

I don't have a serial console, so getting the oops takes a while.
I'll send it if needed.
I just loaded the mousedev and input modules. Plugging in
the mouse oopsed again.
The first line of the oops is
----
kernel BUG at slab.c:1398!
----
Any other ideas to try?

I did not break it, honest! I will be looking in a USB mouse
problem though. If you need an immediate resolution, nice
folks at [email protected] may be able to help.
Or may be not :)

Note that there's a chip erratum (#4 I think) on the AMD-756 that
makes it handle lowspeed devices wrong ... AMD told me I'd need
an NDA to learn their workaround, and I've not pursued it. (Does
anyone already know what kind of NDA they use?)

These are symptoms of that erratum. Don't plug lowspeed devices
(like, probably, your mouse) into the root hub ... something about
that makes some of the registers read wrong. Like telling you
that you've got 242 downstream ports. At least this time it was
a clearly bogus value.
Since the second register read was correct, I've sometimes thought
maybe it'd work better if you just redefined readl() to do each read
twice ... might be worth the experiment, since you have the hardware.

Something went wrong ... :-) Hard to say who without
at least a stacktrace.

It varies depending on the info. They may well be able to sort out a sane
NDA with you. If they dont want to then I guess it would be best if the
ohci driver printing a message explaining the component has an undocumented
errata fix, gave AMD's phone number and refused to load..

I found the problem.
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB "Debug memory allocation"
in the 2.4.2-ac series doesn't work with USB.
2.4.2-ac5 just booted and found the mouse correctly.
On to ac-21 now...
Did David Brownell's patch to disable OHCI loading
on the AMD-756 make it into the source trees?

I just glanced at Alan's change list, it didn't have patches
that seemed to cover that (vs ac20).
You might see what sort of luck you have with the patches
I posted to linux-usb-devel earlier today. At least both
usb-ohci and usb-uhci enumerated even after configuring
in slab debugging ... but there are bugs yet to be found.
Maybe it deserves a CONFIG_DEBUG_PCI_POOL to
decouple autopoisoning from CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB.

It's been sent to Linus. Unless/until someone learns the
vendor fix and implements it, it seems to be the best way
to prevent the 756-specific USB problems (happening
most with lowspeed devices like mice).
