RFE: vhost net backport in fc13
by Michael S. Tsirkin 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

All, What is needed to backport vhost net accelerator to make it avaiable in fc13? The following patches from net-next (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git) should apply to fedora kernel without changes, and are fairly non-intrusive: 05c2828c72c4eabf62376adfe27bd24797621f62 tun: export underlying socket 5da779c34ccff5e1e617892b6c8bd8260fb1f04c mm: export use_mm/unuse_mm to modules 3a4d5c94e959359ece6d6b55045c3f046677f55c vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server This module is required for vhost net feature.

For these reasons, it's had difficulty getting upstream. Fedora has a new enough toolchain, and has been rebuilt, so we don't need the ifdefs. Other distros don't/haven't, and this patch would break them if pushed upstream. Could we do something like the (untested) diff below instead, which might be more palatable to upstream, allowing us to stop carrying it ?

GCC 4.5 heads up
by Jon Masters 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Folks, This probably came up already, but probably worth passing on. Very recent kernels compiled with GCC 4.5 are occasionally hitting problems with the alignment of ftrace structs. I hit this overnight on one of my module-init-tools test systems running a non-Fedora kernel from another Linux distribution. Kyle et al might want to look at e.g.: https://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=344563 Cheers, Jon.

guest kvm-clock issues
by Jon Masters 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Folks, I have a host system running a recent 2.6.33-rc8 kernel, with constant_tsc, and a bunch of guests. One of them, running rawhide, sees constant clock drifts on the order of 4-12 hours at a time. I'm going to play with switching to the acpi_pm timer, but I am interested in what's happening with the Fedora bugs on this. It seems that over the past year there have been bugs (e.g. 449187, 475598) that mention this problem and the issue has been confused with non-constant tsc host clocksources. The fact that there is the "Bug Zapper" closing perfectly useful bugs also does not help the situation. I know the KVM folks are poking at TSC issues, etc. but has anyone got anything to note on this particular issue? Jon.

friendly reminder about kernel branches
by Kyle McMartin 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

To avoid future confusion: - F-11/ and F-12/: - 2.6.32, which will hopefully be going into updates RSN. - F-13/: - 2.6.33, currently in -RC. Will be staying there quite likely until Fedora 13 releases, unless 2.6.34 comes out well before -RC of F-13. - **Your commits for Fedora should go here.** - devel/: - Fedora 14 branch, will fork to F-14/ in a couple months. - Currently 2.6.33-rc as F-13. Moving to 2.6.34-git immediately after 2.6.33 is stable. - Commits should *not* happen here. Get your patches upstream for 2.6.34. - (Frankly I'm tempted to just remove everyone elses commit bits until we open it to encourage F-13 commits...) There are stable branches of F-11 and F-12, containing 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 respectively. These are maintenance mode only, pushed straight to stable so that security fixes can get to users who may have issues with the 2.6.32 in updates-testing. You can get them by: $ cd rpms/kernel; mkdir stable; pushd stable; stable$ cp -a ../F-12 .; pushd F-12; cvs up -dr \ private-fedora-12-2_6_31; popd And ditto with F-11 and private-fedora-11-2_6_30 regards, Kyle.

re: candidate patches for Dell laptops and netbooks

[Apologies because this reply to an ancient message will inevitably break threading] On Wed Oct 21 2009 Matt Domsch wrote: > Mario Limonciello is a Dell engineer, > he's been working on making sure Dell's notebooks and > netbooks work with Ubuntu and therefore very recent kernels. I have a mini9, I was very pleased that F11 worked out of the box on it, almos every device recognised, while of course there were plenty of improvements in F12, there have also been some regressions for this machine. === Most annoying is pm-suspend no longer working out of the box, each time I reboot, I have to startup in runlevel3, log in as root on text console manually perform a pm-suspend resume by pressing power button switch to runlevel5 login to Gnome as non-root user after that rigmarole, I can suspend merely by shutting the lid and resume by opening it again, just like F11 managed out of the box https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542130 Side effect of having to login to the text console first is that the GUI session doesn't get to own the SD card slot. ==== Occasionally when unplugging the power lead (1 in 25 or less frequently) I get the gnome notification "laptop battery critically low the battery is blow the critical level this computer is about to shut down" If my X session is the only logged-on session the machine shuts down with no chance to save work or cancel the shutdown, my workaround for this is to leave another user logged onto a text console, that way the system policy requests root authentication to shut it down and I can cancel it, seems that the battery level can momentarily read as 0% during unplugging, and this panics Gnome Power Management, perhaps it needs to see two consecutive low readings before it initiates shutdown? === Originally I had big issues with the Dell Wireless 5530 HSPA card, after loggin a bug and testing updates from Dan Williams, he got it working, I think there might be a niggle or two left, but recent updates seem to have broken it again, I ought to do some more tests on the current version. === > bluetooth enable/disable work from mjg. The bluetooth on/off toggle was a nice addition to F12, I do get an infrequent issue where blutooth mouse doesn't respond following a suspend/resume, and needs un-pairing/re-pairing before it works again, probably not Dell specific.

unexplained panic tracking?
by Jon Masters 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Folks, Is there any log of outstanding unexplained panics other than grepping bugzilla? I've got a box that falls over rarely and haven't got logs from it yet - just ordered a 48 port Cyclades TS 3000 so every box at home will shortly do remote serial logging to resolve this. Also, any plans to pull Jason's recent kgdb-next bits into Fedora? Or, once upstream, to have them enabled in release kernels? Jon.
