2.6.18-rc4-mm3

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.18-rc4/2.6.18-rc4-mm3/

- autofs mounting of nfs submounts remains broken.

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.

- 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.

Subject: 2.6.18-rc4-mm3: ROOT_NFS=y compile error

Looks like a patch got misapplied somewhere. All my copies of this patch series has this change, but Andrew's doesn't. Trond, let's hook up Monday and work this out.

That's quite possible.

What is "this change"? The only change I see in Trond's mount_clnt.c is the removal of the xprt.h include.

Subject: Re: 2.6.18-rc4-mm3: ROOT_NFS=y compile error

Found the problem. Because of changes Trond had included already in his tree, my patches didn't fit on his repository. When I ported my patches to his tree, I accidentally left out the hunk that updates fs/nfs/mount_clnt.c.

Trond should be sending out the missing hunk soon.

Already merged into the NFS git tree. See

http://linux-nfs.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=nfs-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=f0d01cd34daccb47b7eeab03f80fe7986485528e

The raw patch can also be found on

So the one single place where we call this new in6_pton() thing, it doesn't even compile.

Yoshifuji, what tree are you testing your builds against? This is the second build failure introduced by this in6_pton() changeset.

I'm going to butcher it like this so at least it builds.

Hi Adrian,

It introduces a new warning for me:
net/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.c: In function 'target':
net/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.c:59: warning: implicit declaration of function 'nf_conntrack_event_cache'

The warning is due to the following .config:

commit f62d31ee2f2f453b07107465fea54540cab418eb broke my laptop (pentium M, dell D600).
I can reliably get a hard lockup (no sysrq) when modprobing ehci_hcd and uhci_hci. It works when reverting the changeset.

I can provide cpuinfo or dmesg if necessary.

hm. It works for me.

BINUTILS_DIR=binutils-2.16.1
GCC_DIR=gcc-4.0.2
GLIBC_DIR=glibc-2.3.6

I guess one could poke around in vmlinux, find out what's happened to the .data.percpu section. `readelf --sections vmlinux', etc?

There didn't seem to be anything unusual about the .data.percpu section It turned out to be a binutils version problem. On the two test machines, the cross-compiler from http://developer.osdl.org/dev/plm/cross_compile/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 was being used. When later versions were used, the problem disappeared.

:wq!

I cannot work out how the heck you got a divide instruction in fib6_rule_match().

Can you please do `make net/ipv6/fib6_rules.s', find the code which implements fib6_rule_match() (line starting with "fib6_rule_match:") and send that plus the next 200-odd lines? Or just stick fib6_rules.s on a server somewhere? Or mail me fib6_rules.s off-list.

Thanks.

This might be another symptom of the broken smp-alternatives patch. It tended to randomly corrupt some instructions by inserting different bytes which then crash in interesting ways.

I already sent a fix for that, but it's not in yet.

-Andi

Oh. It looks like this has already been fixed:

#ifdef CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTE_FWMARK
        if ((r->fwmark ^ fl->fl6_fwmark) & r->fwmask)
                return 0;

#endif

there's no divide in there now.

This causes a multiple definition of init_nsproxy on AVR32. Reverting namespaces-add-nsproxy-avr32-fix.patch fixes it.

Could you try this ?

thanks,

Yes, this works fine. This does in fact revert namespaces-add-nsproxy-avr32-fix.patch, so it would work equally well to just drop that patch.

Thanks,

Applied, thanks Adrian.

This patch fixes the following section mismatch (dmi_matched() is referenced from struct dmi_ids):

dmi_ids is only used in select_keymap, which is __init. Moreover, dmi_ids is marked __initdata so I do not see what the problem is...
