Subject: Linux 2.6.19


There it finally is (or rather - I'm currently uploading the tar-file and
patches, and the mirrors are hopefully busily pushing out the git tree
that is already updated).

There's not a lot to be said about the changes since -rc6: the shortlog
(appended) tells the whole story, and it's really mostly a lot of
one-liners or other really small changes. Bugs fixed, but nothing that
stands out in my mind.

So go get it. It's one of those rare "perfect" kernels. So if it doesn't
happen to compile with your config (or it does compile, but then does
unspeakable acts of perversion with your pet dachshund), you can rest easy
knowing that it's all your own d*mn fault, and you should just fix your
evil ways.

You could send me and the kernel mailing list a note about it anyway, of
course. (And perhaps pictures, if your dachshund is involved. Not that
we'd be interested, of course. No. Just so that we'd know to avoid it next
time).

I had a such a dachshund when child, but he's long passed away... in his
memory, I have to say that .19 missed this:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/19/54

which fixed a regression for my PCMCIA modem (hey, it may qualify as a
pet...) from the 2.6.13 age... details here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-pcmcia/2006-August/003893.html

I understand it's not the classical one-liner accepted in a -rc6 stage,
but I feel it's not bad to point it out again so that it will be
considered for the next kernel. And to signal it as a candidate for
2.6.19.y line.

Thanks,
Romano

What would it take to have the kernel.org web page and finger banner

The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.18.3 X
The latest prepatch for the stable Linux kernel tree is: 2.6.19-rc6
The latest snapshot for the stable Linux kernel tree is: 2.6.19-rc6-git10 X
The latest 2.4 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.4.33.4
The latest prepatch for the 2.4 Linux kernel tree is: 2.4.34-pre6
The latest 2.2 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.2.26
The latest prepatch for the 2.2 Linux kernel tree is: 2.2.27-rc2

It _should_ update automatically once everything has mirrored out.

Ok, so 2.6.18 used to get along fine with cryptoloop and 2.6.19 refuses to
cooperate. An strace of "losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 /dev/hda7" without all the
terminal interaction shows:

open("/dev/hda7", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
open("/dev/loop0", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) = 0
...
munmap(0xb7fc8000, 4096) = 0
ioctl(4, 0x4c00, 0x3) = 0
close(3) = 0
ioctl(4, 0x4c04, 0xbfc21670) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
ioctl(4, 0x4c02, 0xbfc215e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
dup(2) = 3
fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE)
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0720, st_rdev=makedev(4, 1), ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fc8000
_llseek(3, 0, 0xbfc21040, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
write(3, "ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: No such "..., 50ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: No such file or directory) = 50
close(3) = 0
munmap(0xb7fc8000, 4096) = 0
ioctl(4, 0x4c01, 0) = 0
close(4) = 0
exit_group(1) = ?

Linux 2.6.18 does not fail at

ioctl(4, 0x4c04, ...)

I know that dm-crypt is now the preferred method of doing such things, but as
long as cryptoloop exists in the kernel I'd expect it to work.

Cheers,

On a similar vein, it'd be nice if http://www.kernel.org/kdist/version.html
would break the entries into separate lines.

I prefer to use

for that. And script it so that I can just type:

$ kcurrent

I suspect that it might be because I removed the IPV6
ifdef from the list, but I can't imagine why that would
matter other than due to a bug in the IPV6 stack....

Indeed.

Looking at ndisc_send_rs() I wonder if it miscalculates
'len' or similar and the old MAX_HEADER setting was
merely papering around this bug....

In fact it does, the NDISC code is using MAX_HEADER incorrectly. It
needs to explicitly allocate space for the struct ipv6hdr in 'len'.
Luckily the TCP ipv6 code was doing it right.

What a horrible bug, this patch should fix it. Let me know
if it doesn't, thanks:

[IPV6] NDISC: Calculate packet length correctly for allocation.

MAX_HEADER does not include the ipv6 header length in it,
so we need to add it in explicitly.

I use that in some cases as well, but the browser on my PDA insists upon
trying to download that file rather than simply displaying it. So I
sometimes need to use version.html instead, even though it renders
poorly under every browser I've tried.

Needed the VIA PATA patch to be able to boot:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/18/165

Also, atakbd.c produced lots of "Spurious ACK" messages on kernel panic
when I misspecified the root fs, which made the real problem a little
more difficult to find.

I also encountered this bug (wasn't there in -rc6). The patch also fixes it

I didn't and that turned out to be the culprit. With CONFIG_CRYPTO_CBC enabled
everything works fine. Thanks, Herbert!

Shouldn't cryptoloop automatically select CONFIG_CRYPTO_CBC if it depends on it?

Yes I'll make it select CONFIG_CRYPTO_CBC since that's the default
chaining method.

Ok, I have to make a correction here: It doesn't crash anymore but now ipv6
doesn't work at all. To be more precise, I see adresses on the network
interfaces and the corresponding routes, but when I try to ping my gateway I
get "Destination unreachable: Address unreachable".

Hope this helps ..

Why do you say that? freezer.h is what uses those #defined values,
and freezer.h is what uses struct task_struct fields as well,
so it needs sched.h.

Oh, an error of thought when I read the patch
7dfb71030f7636a0d65200158113c37764552f93 made that statement. After more
checking, sched.h is apperarently included in suspend.h from swap.h so
the direct include of sched.h in most drivers was/is not nessecary.

Do you agree with the patch below then? This was how I first fixed it
but found it strange no-one hit it before, and from there it went on...

Hi most estimated kernel developers,

I send this message to "lobby" for this to be included int the 2.16.20-rc1

http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/19/54

which fixed a regression for my PCMCIA modem (hey, it may qualify as a
pet...) from the 2.6.13 age... details here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-pcmcia/2006-August/003893.html

Moreover, I wish to signal it as a candidate for 2.6.19.y line.

Thanks,
Romano

That's already in Linus' git tree.

Regarding 2.6.19.y, that's on my TODO list.
