[NOTE:
* Still growing faster than we're fixing them.]

This message contains a list of some regressions introduced between 2.6.31 and
2.6.32, for which there are no fixes in the mainline I know of. If any of them
have been fixed already, please let me know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions introduced between 2.6.31
and 2.6.32, please let me know either and I'll add them to the list.
Also, please let me know if any of the entries below are invalid.

Each entry from the list will be sent additionally in an automatic reply to
this message with CCs to the people involved in reporting and handling the
issue.

you have an outdated email from Luiz and I change it to the right one
now.

I looked with him at the patch and I think this will fix it:

diff --git a/net/bluetooth/rfcomm/core.c b/net/bluetooth/rfcomm/core.c

We need some extra testing on this with the actual hardware we did the
patch for. So this will take at least a few days before we get our hands
on it.

yeah still hitting this.
looking at the issue if I change:

@@ 260

if ((class == 0xffffffff))
continue;
to

if ((class == 0xffffffff || 0xffffffffffffffff))
continue;

I'm able to boot, but don't have enough knowledge to know
what is really happening(or how to execute this).
will continue looking at this
(hopefully I get somewhere on this);

Yes, it should remain open. Aim7 regression isn't reproducible here,
specjbb2005 unknown, not available to the general public.

Uh... 0xffffffffffffffff is always true so basically that's the same as deleting the
if condition.

I've added the linux1394-devel people to the CC list.

Justin has found an issue that when he boots with: ohci1394_dma=early his computer
crashes.

He can get it to boot by modifying drivers/ieee1394/init_ohci1394_dma.c:

init_ohci1394_dma_on_all_controllers()
254 /* Poor man's PCI discovery, the only thing we can do at early boot */
255 for (num = 0; num < 32; num++) {
256 for (slot = 0; slot < 32; slot++) {
257 for (func = 0; func < 8; func++) {
258 u32 class = read_pci_config(num,slot,func,
259 PCI_CLASS_REVISION);


260 if ((class == 0xffffffff))

261 continue; /* No device at this func */

If he continues here then his system boots.

262
263 if (class>>8 != PCI_CLASS_SERIAL_FIREWIRE_OHCI)
264 continue; /* Not an OHCI-1394 device */
265
266 init_ohci1394_controller(num, slot, func);
267 break; /* Assume one controller per device */

This comment is not terribly clear btw. The code assumes one controller per slot.

268 }
269 }
270 }

regards,
dan carpenter

nice. So I can add a tested-by line to the final patch?

Just our of curiosity, which hardware did you test this with. We only
know about one headset that should cause this issue.

Thanks. Alas the original author is MIA, and the bug seems to be tied
to the early platform setup code (rather than OHCI 1394 device specific
code) about which I for one am clueless.

The listed MAINTAINERS contact of init_ohci1394_dma.c is linux1394-devel
and me, but a good deal of this driver is very x86 platform specific.
(There was some interest in making useful for other architectures, but
this would merely mean that the respective architecture people need to
keep an eye on their parts of this driver.)

[...]

This modification and some others in the LKML thread from October simply
cause init_ohci1394_controller() to be skipped for all devices.

init_ohci1394_controller() is simple enough:

static inline void __init init_ohci1394_controller(int num, int slot,
int func)
{
unsigned long ohci_base;
struct ti_ohci ohci;

printk(KERN_INFO "init_ohci1394_dma: initializing OHCI-1394"
" at %02x:%02x.%x\n", num, slot, func);

ohci_base = read_pci_config(num, slot, func,
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0+(0<<2)) & PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_MASK;

set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, ohci_base);

ohci.registers = (void *)fix_to_virt(FIX_OHCI1394_BASE);

init_ohci1394_reset_and_init_dma(&ohci);
}

Justin, you already established that read_pci_config is not the point
where it crashes, right?

set_fixmap_nocache() and fix_to_virt() frighten me because I don't know
what they do. :-)

The rest, init_ohci1394_reset_and_init_dma(), is something which I can
easily follow. There is just a bunch of register reads and writes with
occasional mdelays. This /could/ be a cause of the crash too if the
controller is inspired to do something dangerous in there --- meaning,
if the OHCI 1394 controller starts to write something per DMA into
memory. However, we do not switch on any DMA context except for the
so-called physical DMA unit which only springs into action if a remote
FireWire-attached console instructs it to do so.

I am noticing one point where init_ohci1394_dma.c violates the OHCI 1394
specification: OHCI1394_HCControl_linkEnable is witched on while the
OHCI1394_ConfigROMmap register is still invalid. This register needs to
contain a physical address of a 1kB sized, 1kB aligned memory region
which allows DMA_TO_DEVICE. So, since this is a read-only DMA, I am
tempted to say that this potential issue should not be a cause for a
kernel crash.

(Sinde note, the OHCI 1394 spec is freely available, see
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Specifications#OHCI_Release_1.1.2C_January_6.2C_2000
)

(Now that a bugzilla.kernel.org ticket exists for this you can also use
bugzilla.kernel.org to publish screenshots if you have an account there.)

This screenshot looks like ___alloc_bootmem_node is the issue here, or
am I mistaken of what the order of functions in the backtrace means?

> PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0+(0<<2))& PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_MASK;


cool, thanks for the assistance and info on this.
(I'll have to read through the specification for ohci1394);

as for __alloc_bootmem_node I have not looked into that yet.
(I can read up on this today).

what I was looking at was:
set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, ohci_base);

which led me to arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h
leading me to believe I was hitting something with
FIXADDR_TOP because the system is a pure64.
(reading through fixmap.h there is mention that
vsyscall only covers 32bit making me think this might
be it).

and also:

init_ohci1394_reset_and_init_dma(&ohci);
(on the bugreport I have a temporary patch
which gets me up and running to do early debugging,
there you will see both calls are commented out

(as for yesterdays 0xffffffffffffffff(just experimenting)Google gives me
no info on the differences between 8f's to 16f's, I was under the
impression that it's x86_32 and x86_64 for the pci address).

as for the bugzilla.kernel.org I'll have to setup an
account there(flickr is nice, but having a bugreport
photo and pics of my vacation isn't);

In general I'm thinking this has todo with the arch(but could be wrong),
because one lfs system I built was x86_32,which worked fine, and then
the next is a pure64 which triggers this.

Thanks for the info/help.

Hi Rafael,
Sorry, I haven't had time to test newer kernels lately :(, but according to
changelogs, no related problems were fixed till 2.6.32.7...
I'll update problematic machine on wednesday though...

Hi,

Just in case, here is the hcidump of the Nokia HS-12W, the one that
has problem when we connection authorization is denied:

So this means the patch works. DISC 0 is send from our side (due to
the session timeout) when normally it should be other end that
disconnects right away when we respond with DM.

As Dan noted,
(class == 0xffffffff || 0xffffffffffffffff)
is always true because it is logically the same as
(class == whatever) || true

If you really meant
class == 0xffffffff || class == 0xffffffffffffffff
then the latter half will never become true because class is declared as
u32 and got its value from read_pci_config() which also returns u32.

BTW, whether a PCI device is capable of accessing 32 bit bus addresses
or also 64 bit bus addresses depends on the device, not on the CPU.
Originally, PCI only had a 32 bit addressing model. OHCI 1394 1.0/1.1
implementations only deal with 32 bit local bus addresses.

The 'class' however is not an address but merely a register value with
24 bits width. (Defined in the PCI Local Bus spec which is not freely
available, cited in OHCI 1394 annex A.3.) This register is read as a 32
bits wide register from which the excess byte is later discarded. If
all bits read are 1, the bus:slot:function is not actually populated.

yeah that's what I was going for(just to see).

That's what I was afraid of. I'm guessing there probably would be a lot
of things to change for(if this correct) u64.

I haven't even looked at what the device was capable of doing.

So(correct me if I'm wrong), I'm generating a 64 bit register
and the kernel is looking for a 32 bit register causing the crash.

I have an inbuilt (laptop) USB Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth Module
(413c:8160). I can send more info about the device if you want.

That's weird. I assumed it would happen for any device, since
rfcomm_session_add is called from multiple places and it adds
rfcomm_session_timeout on a timer which will cause the trace
if the timer fires.

I could be wrong though.

David.

No, the class = read_pci_config(); if (class == ...) ... parts of the
code are entirely innocent as far as I can tell. This is just the
FireWire--PCI chip detection. It is the subsequent driver setup for the
chip that crashes somewhere.

When you modified that chip detection code earlier, you only prevented
crashes when your modifications ended up as "ignore all PCI devices,
also FireWire ones" == "do nothing at all".

Perhaps the bootup sequence of the x86(-64) platform was changed from
2.6.31 to .32 thus that some assumptions in init_ohci1394_dma about when
are what resources available are not true anymore. According to your
screenshot in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/27/335 the issue is about
memory allocation, not about PCI bus access.

Hi David,

I meant which device you are connection to. Is it a headset or another
computer.

The timer will only fire for non-behaving remote stacks. With a proper
stack following the RFCOMM specification it should never fire.

Ah. It's a Sony Ericsson W800i phone. I noticed a new problem while
testing yesterday: Transferring a file to the phone seems to happen
correctly, but at the end of the transfer, the phone reports that the
connection was lost and I get this in the log:

btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb ffff88007a5b59c0 failed to resubmit (19)
btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb ffff880077a200c0 failed to resubmit (19)
btusb_intr_complete: hci0 urb ffff88007a5b5780 failed to resubmit (19)
btusb_send_frame: hci0 urb ffff88004db809c0 submission failed

To remove btusb, I have to shutdown the laptop Bluetooth. I'll check and
see if I can reproduce and track down the issue. Note that the phone was
working okay pre 2.3.32.

Regards,
David.

Alright.. I'll keep focus on that
and see if I can figure this out.

As for anything changed in the kernel
(2.6.31 - present), tough to say
from what I remember I had created a new fresh
lfs system using these CFLAGS:

CFLAGS="-mtune=core2 -march=core2 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" MAKEOPTS="{-j3}"
(without -m option gcc defaults(I think)to -m32).

which booted with ohci1394_dma=early just fine.

then decided to build another lfs system with the same CFLAGS except
added -m64 (pure64) to the build process.
(then this showed up).

What I can try is do a git revert to 2.6.29/27 to see if this thing
fires off(before going any further). if the system boots then do a bisect.

o.k. I feel really stupid right now.
after starring at this for some time I didn't even
think to do a git revert to test other
kernel versions(duh!!).

so doing a git revert to v2.6.27 ohci1394_dma
boots up fine.
a bit late now to do a bisect, but in the morning
I'll start this and see what I get from it, then
go from there.

(man!! let this be a lesson for me);

(OK, according to your other post it /is/ a regression, at least on
x86-64 and definitely between 2.6.27 (good) and 2.6.32 (bad).)

Do I understand correctly that at this moment it is only known that the


bug could be
- *either* a 2.6.31 -> 2.6.32 regression
- *or* an x86-64 specific bug that does not occur on x86-32,
right?

I have an Core 2 Duo based PC with x86-32 kernel and userland and an AMD
based x86-64 PC and could give ohci1394_dma=early a try on both (never
tested it myself before). I could furthermore attempt to build and
install an x86-64 kernel on the Core 2 Duo PC but I am afraid I am far
too short of spare time for that.

at first I was under the impression this was an arch thing because of
building an x86_32, and then building x86_64(and hitting this). but now
after reverting to 2.6.27 I'm thinking other wise.(my bad, should of
done this at first but didn't even think too);

no..
I need to do a bisect from 2.6.27 to present to see
(just need to crash for a few hrs, then can start);
then I'll go from there.

I'll go with the bisect in the morning(late over here),
and then go from there.(just pissed at myself

Thanks. Unfortunately the address is from a commit sign-off and the script
picks it up automatically, so I can't really help it (well, I'd have to
remember to edit this particular message manually each time before posting it,

x86: Fix fixmap ordering

The merge of the 32- and 64-bit fixmap headers made a latent
bug on x86-64 a real one: with the right config settings
it is possible for FIX_OHCI1394_BASE to overlap the FIX_BTMAP_*
range.

The only thing I can think of at this point
is maybe the CFLAGS I used to build this system.
(as for the x86_32 working and x86_64 failing not sure);

I'm curious to see if anybody else is hitting this?

I think it is pretty clear how a page fault can happen here (but you're
observing a double fault, which I cannot explain [nor can I explain
why the fault apparently didn't get an error code pushed, which is
why address and error code displayed are mixed up]): I would
suspect that FIX_OHCI1394_BASE is now in a different (virtual) 2Mb
range than what is covered by level{1,2}_fixmap_pgt, but this was
a latent issue even before that patch (just waiting for sufficiently
many fixmap entries getting inserted before
__end_of_permanent_fixed_addresses).

The thing is that head_64.S uses hard-coded numbers, but doesn't
really make sure (at build time) that the fixmap page tables established
indeed cover all the entries of importance (and honestly I even can't
easily tell which of the candidates - FIX_DBGP_BASE,
FIX_EARLYCON_MEM_BASE, and FIX_OHCI1394_BASE afaict - really
matter). If either of the first does, the only reasonable solution imo
is to move FIX_OHCI1394_BASE out of the boot time only range into
the permanent range (unless the other two can be moved into the
boot time only range). And obviously the hard coded numbers
should be eliminated from head_64.S.

Thanks for your info on this. I can try today moving things
around just to see. Looking more into this(keep in mind I
have no idea how these page,fix_to_virt calls etc.. work)
I was thinking with what stefan had mentioned ___alloc_bootmem_node
(still need to look into what that function does)maybe keeping fixmap.h
as is and looking somewhere else might be where the fix might be(but
could be wrong).

In any case I'll have another go at this today.

jan,

Thanks for that info, after looking at
arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S
I'm thinking this is a grub2 issue.

From what I remember while building this system
I used ubuntu as the host, built grub2 from git
then once being able to boot, figured it was all good.

Just to see, I'll go and leave the kernel as it is,
build grub2 again, just to make sure.
(maybe there's something happening with it because
grub2 is built pure64, anything 32bit wont work
(could be wrong though)) i.g. if the kernel does 32bit something
then changes to 64bit and in the meantime grub2 can only see 64bit then
maybe this is what I'm hitting.

o.k. while looking into grub2
I had noticed during compile time
and reading posts, that -m32 is always
being called(no matter how much I tweaked the
Makefile). seeing this made me think well
if this thing is being built with -m32 maybe that might
be it i.g. 32bit to 64bit might cause some issues, but
unfortunately is not the case(building lilo you can achieve a pure64
bit build).

So after all of that still no go, but the positive side
is lilo is able to show more up the line of the boot message
error:

bootmem allocation before bootmem was even initialized. And that's
likely because the code tries to populate the pmd that (due to the
issue explained yesterday) isn't statically initialized.

so something is using __native_set_fixmap
that's hitting some memory address then
set_fixmap_nocache(ohci1394_dma=early)
fires off hitting the same?

__native_set_fixmap() -> set_pte_vaddr() -> set_pte_vaddr_pud() ->
fill_pte() -> spp_getpage() -> alloc_bootmem_pages() -> panic().

I'll have a look at this in the morning(late over here),
but one thing I'm seeing is the device numbers:
the error shows 05:00.0 while on a good go
of this I saw the address at **3** something(can grab
the info later for you).

which probably goes to what you are saying:


tries to populate the pmd

a quick google on this showed somewhere


at bootmem.c any ideas on this or where
this might be caused besides fixmap?
(or is fixmap the main location?);

No, afaict it is the ohci1394_dma=early code itself hitting that path.

alright.. looking at init_ohci1394_dma.c
I see:

ohci.registers = (void *)fix_to_virt(FIX_OHCI1394_BASE);

then I think it calls:

set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, ohci_base);

I'm guessing somewhere with the fix_to_virt might be something
(but could be wrong);

No, it ought to be that set_fixmap_nocache().

hmm..
as a quick test I did try:

set_fixmap(FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, ohci_base);
(maybe ohci_base)

which still hit, maybe something else
in the set of calls is hitting
i.g. address specific or something.
(I'll have to keep looking on this);

Just updated this one as well. Since it sounds easily reproducible it
would be good to get a bisect. We haven't changed backlight handling,
but it's likely the lid changes make X handle things differently...

Eric, can you pick up David's "Disable SR when more than one pipe is
enabled" patch? Yakui has a bigger rework of the wm code that also
fixes this problem, but it's too invasive for 2.6.33.

Can you bisect this to a particular kernel commit? The particular
error message means the kernel detected a GPU hang. That's usually
a userspace bug, but the kernel should recover from it.

The fdo bug referenced from kernel bugzilla has a small workaround you
might try. It forces the driver to try to recover from the hang, so
you might not need to reboot.

I see these about once a week, which would be a very difficult bisect.


The kernel does recover when I reboot, but beyond that the messages loop
forever.

I haven't yet seen it on 2.6.33-rc, but I'm still struggling with
suspend/resume failures and haven't really had a one week up time yet.

looking into fixmap.h I started to look into:
#define NR_FIX_BTMAPS 64
#define FIX_BTMAPS_SLOTS 4
FIX_BTMAP_END = __end_of_permanent_fixed_addresses + 256 -
(__end_of_permanent_fixed_addresses & 255),
FIX_BTMAP_BEGIN = FIX_BTMAP_END +
NR_FIX_BTMAPS*FIX_BTMAPS_SLOTS - 1,

which led me to a patch you had submitted:
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/68719/
and another located here:
http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2008/08/29/211

your patch works, I reapplied it to the latest HEAD, and added a
bisected-and-tested-by unto it and sent it as an attachment to
the bug report.

the other thread(patch) I was able to get the system boot with that, as
well but with it only changed the size of page(256 to 512 etc..).

Let me know what would be the best approach with this.
