LinuxLists.cc - 2.6.19-rc2-mm1

Subject: 2.6.19-rc2-mm1

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.19-rc2/2.6.19-rc2-mm1/

- Added the hwmon and i2c trees to the -mm lineup. These are quilt-style
trees, maintained by Jean Delvare.

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 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.

No, last time I tested it the machine still froze after "returning from
prom_init". ie: before it had done any WARNs or BUGs. It's rather
mysterious.

OK, so it isn't due to passing in a short / zero length to commit_write.

It is more likely to be a subtle bug when retrying the write after having
faulted on the first page. Hmm, you wouldn't be deadlocking on i_mutex,
due to faulting in fault_in_pages_readable (that is against the documented
lock ordering, but thank god it looks like the documentation is incorrect
as msync doesn't hold mmap_sem over do_fsync).

I can't see anything yet, but I'll keep looking (and try to reproduce
if I can get TLP working).

I realized that, I am not using STACK_UNWIND - so traces may be fishing
on the stack. I enabled unwinder, traces got worse :( unwinder problems
again ?

No, we don't hold the page lock. Xip pages are property of the block
device driver, are not in the page lru, and by calling get_xip_page we
retrieved a reference to that page which remains valid until the file
system is unmounted / the block device is closed.

This actually makes it compile&run again. Therefore I vote for inclusion.
I will look into Nick's suggestion of replacing it by a non-atomic
variant later on, after fixing a page refcounting issue with xip and cow
that was introduced by Nicks changes.
