Subject: 2.6.20-mm2

Temporarily at

http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/2.6.20-mm2/

Will appear later at

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.20/2.6.20-mm2/

- There are IDE- and Xen-related module linkage errors during allmodconfig
builds. These have been reported.

- Quite a lot of less-popular architectures are broken by the utrace merge.
They will stay that way while the maintainers ponder
http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/utrace-arch-porting-howto.txt

- Added the LED development tree to the -mm lineup as git-leds.patch
(Richard Purdie <[email protected]>)

- git-parisc.patch is back for a while

- git-audit.patch is back for a while

- git-drm.patch is still in disgrace

- Added Xen domain-U support

- Judging by the number of times I get asked "is there a git tree for -mm",
nobody is reading the boilerplate. Here it is again:

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.

- Occasional 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.

Two problems:

1) A showstopper with the root partition on RAID1:

md: raid1 personality registered for level 1
[--snip--]
md: multipath personality registered for level -4
register_blkdev: failed to get major for mdp
[--snip--]
VFS: Cannot open root device "md1" or unknown-block(0,0)

At the moment I have no serial console attached to the box, so I had to rewrite
the messages manually.

2) On HPC nx6325 I get the following 100% of the time during the resume from
disk:

BUG: at drivers/pci/pci.c:823 pcim_enable_device()

Nevertheless, the system seems to be fully functional after the resume.

[I've been observing it since 2.6.20-git10 and have reported it for a couple
of times, but apparently nobody cares. :-(]

Plus, I'd guess, the old rtc driver statically linked.

What I see is a should-not-happen fault of some kind in a cleanup
path that's been tested with non-PNP rtc drivers. A quick glance
at the code left me puzzled. Would sleeping a second or two before
calling rtc_device_unregister() change that behavior?

Yes, Rolf says this goes away when you stop using gcc-4.1.0.

I'm hoping that churning the code around like below makes things work
right.

From: Andrew Morton <[email protected]>

Several people have reported failures in dynamic major device number handling
due to the recent changes in there to avoid handing out the local/experimental
majors.

Rolf reports that this is due to a gcc-4.1.0 bug.

The patch refactors that code a lot in an attempt to provoke the compiler into
behaving.

Hmm, why is unionfs playing around with malloc_sizes in the first place? Jeff?

I've bisected myself 2.6.20-mm2 instead. And the winners are:
x86_64-mm-adjust-inclusion-of-asm-fixmap_h.patch
x86_64-mm-adjust-inclusion-of-asm-vsyscall32_h.patch

The former breaks the compilation in a different way. The latter fixes
it but causes the breakage I reported originally.

Does it really matter anyway? Even in mainline,
include/asm-x86_64/io_apic.h uses MAX_IO_APICS, so it should include
the header file which defines it, that is <asm/apicdef.h>. It doesn't,
that's a bug, let's just fix it. Same for i386. So what about pushing
my patch to Linus right away?

Thanks,
