Subject: unable to use dpkg 2.6.15-rc2

Hi!

This is the second report of this error.

It's reproducible in 2.6.15-rc1, 2.6.15-rc1-mm1, 2.6.15-rc1-mm2 and
2.6.15-rc2.

It does not occur in 2.6.14.

Most easily triggered by "make clean" in the Linux source, for those of
you without access to dpkg. But both clean and dpkg will trigger it.

There are no oops.

I'm not sure what to report next, though If I were to guess it is a
interaction between XFS file system and SCSI. I've got another SCSI box
that is very similar that runs rc1, rc1-mm1 and rc1-mm2 just fine, the
only real difference being it has a ext3 file system instead.

The driver for the SCSI card (aic7xxx) did not appear change.
lspi says it's a Adaptec AIC-7892A U160/m (rev 2) card.

XFS looks like it's had extensive changes from 14 to 15-rc2.
There are many debugging options I could enable, but to be honest I'm not
sure what would be applicable in this circumstance.

Nothing in dmesg looks out of the ordinary.
Included version info, cpuinfo, module info, driver info (/proc/ioports /proc/iomem) pci info.

Questions, patches, flames are welcome.







If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

So far I've not been able to reproduce this; I'm using "make clean"
and it works just fine for me (I'm using the current git tree).

No, it looks like XFS is stuck waiting for an IO to complete.

You could also try to drop the XFS (fs/xfs) code from 2.6.14 into
2.6.15-rc2 and see if your problem persists. There isn't anything
I can see from scanning though everything we committed into .15 so
far that would explain this. Oh, an easier test you could do would
be to try XFS CVS from oss.sgi.com - that has 2.6.14 + all the XFS
changes since then, so that should confirm/deny an XFS regression
too. Thanks!

cheers.

Just another data point, running 2615rc1/2 I do not have an issue with XFS runing on MPT scsi device.

I can reproduce this using with 2.6.15-rc1 using AIM7 or AIM9. I forced a
corefile for one of the AIM7 threads that hung during close doing the disk_cp
subtest. The AIM9 run hung doing disk_src (running each subtest for 100
seconds). I didn't coredump that one, but rather I got into kdb and did a
backtrace on the AIM9 "singleuser" thread.

Confirmed here with 2.6.15-rc1 an IDE disk. Kernel is UP with
CONFIG_PREEMPT and 8KB stack. The following debug options are enabled:

CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=y
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW=y

should I try and enable something else to gather more informations?


The first time the system hung during shutdown, with kernel stuck in
pdflush (probably waked up by sync):

Here it happens with an IDE disk, connected to VT8233A southbridge.

Keith Owens has managed to reproduce this locally, and has been
working on tracking it back to a single change - so, we'll start
trying to figure out whats gone wrong here shortly, and will get
a fix merged as soon as we can.

Thanks for reporting the problem.

FYI - this problem is now fixed in Linus' current git tree.

Great, I'll give it a try ASAP. BTW why using a macro instead of an
inline function makes any difference? I don't understand...
