Subject: 2.6.20-rc1-mm1

Temporarily at

http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/2.6.20-rc1-mm1/

Will appear later at

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.20-rc1/2.6.20-rc1-mm1/

- Added the avr32 devel tree as git-avr32.patch (Haavard Skinnemoen)

- Don't enable locking API self-tests on powerpc - it explodes in a
spectacular fashion.

Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

git-fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git tag v2.6.16-rc2-mm1
git-checkout -b local-v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
mm-commits mailing list.

echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail [email protected]

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is
most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
introduced the bug. Instructions for this process are at

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
list on any email.

- When reporting bugs in this kernel via email, please also rewrite the
email Subject: in some manner to reflect the nature of the bug. Some
developers filter by Subject: when looking for messages to read.

- Semi-daily snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and are announced on
the mm-commits list.

Presumably

void __iomem *mmio = (void __iomem *) ap->ioaddr.scr_addr;

gave us a null pointer.

Something like this:

diff -puN drivers/ata/sata_promise.c~a drivers/ata/sata_promise.c
--- a/drivers/ata/sata_promise.c~a
+++ a/drivers/ata/sata_promise.c
@@ -294,6 +294,10 @@ static int pdc_port_start(struct ata_por
void __iomem *mmio = (void __iomem *) ap->ioaddr.scr_addr;
unsigned int tmp;

+ if (!mmio) {
+ rc = -EDOM;
+ goto out_kfree;
+ }
tmp = readl(mmio + 0x014);
tmp = (tmp & ~3) | 1; /* set bits 1:0 = 0:1 */
writel(tmp, mmio + 0x014);
_

should perhaps let you wobble to a state where you can get us the full
dmesg output, please.

Actually, that should already be possible simply using netconsole.

I don't think anything has changed in this area in XFS. I'd expect that
something got broken in sata, ata_piix or the block core which caused the
"trial barrier write" to start failing. Various cc's hopefully added.

The reiser4 failure is unexpected. Could you please see if you can capture
a trae, let the people at [email protected] know?

Thanks.

Ok, the machine has been running for a couple of hours with that patch
and so far hasn't frozen again. I'll watch it some more but it looks
like your patch did indeed fix my problem.

Thanks

Thanks, I've applied this to my tree.

It is sorry, I mixed things up. BTW, your mails don't seem to make it to
the lkml (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/22/10)
