And tons more will be in -mm2, which I shall prepare right now.
Please retest on that and if it still hangs, capture the output
from pressing alt-sysrq-T.
Thanks.

Oh Murphy! Bug: 250K log buffer causes a hang on boot.
Sorry for the shock. I configured the log buffer bigger - 250K and it hangs on boot.
Default 14K log buffer all OK, the NBD hang is fixed too.
This was my only config change besides that driver which didn't compile ;)
I want a bigger log buffer in preparation for testing swsusp on 2.5. On 2.4,
the test io load prevent the big swsusp logs from making it to disk...
Thank you
Regards
Michael

Default value of 14 is a shift count (2 << 14), which gives a
16 KB buffer.
Did you enter '250' for the shift value?
Yes, that wouldn't boot.
Maybe consult the help text??

Andrew, do you want a min/max limit on the LOG_BUF_SHIFT value,
now that Roman has added that feature for Kconfig?

Making this a shift count is a brilliant trap designed to humble buffalos
who do not bother to read the documentation. To put a check there would
just spoil the fun ;)

Thank you for reporting this. A few others have also found this same
problem and a patch that fixes this has been submitted to Andrew. I
haven't had the chance yet to figure out what release of mm this fix may
have made it into. The reason for this problem in the first place was
that the patch which caused the problem was tested against 2.5.73 then
applied into Andrew's 2.5.73-mm1 release. Some other changes that made
it into 2.5.73-mm1 (in a non-nbd system that also hadn't been in 2.5.73
yet) interacted with the nbd change in the un-expected way you've seen.
If there are still problems you can track back to nbd please let me know.

Just catching up on email after being away for a few days... so nbd
isn't at fault then in mm2, correct? Your follow on emails at least
seemed to indicate that there was a different problem that you in fact
were encountering in mm2. If you find a problem though in mm2 w.r.t. nbd
please let me know directly and I'll haul butt to get a fix out to you.
All the best ;-)
