If you have a gcc that can compile 64-bit code, then I found it was as simple as doing a 'make ARCH=x86_64' and building the kernel with 32-bit program support. -

Uniprocessor Althlon 64, 64-bit kernel, 2G ECC RAM, 2.6.23-rc8 + linuxpps (5.0.0) + ip1000a driver. (patch from http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=118980588419882) After a few hours of operation, ntp loses the ability to send packets. sendto() returns -EAGAIN to everything, including the 24-byte UDP packet that is a response to ntpq. -EAGAIN on a sendto() makes me think of memory problems, so here's meminfo at the time: ### FAILED state ### # cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 2059384 kB ...

Without this patch, my 965GM drops vblank interrupts, so I'd really like to see it upstream ASAP too. Acked-by: Jesse Barnes <jesse.barnes@intel.com> -

You must not have been watching me SPAM netdev for the past two It is queued for 2.6.24. I'm not even sure it was originally posted in time for the 2.6.23 merge window, but even if it was there was a lot of opposition to merging it until fairly recently. In fact, I'm sure there are still some wireless developers that are less than happy about merging it now. Anyway, coming soon to a kernel near you... John -- John W. Linville linville@tuxdriver.com -

Well, pulling in iwlwifi would require also pulling in the mac80211 subsystem, so it's not quite that simple (although I'm not sure what's holding back that going into the kernel.) I had no problem building my personal production kernel by taking 2.6.23-rc8, and doing a git pull from the everything branch in John Linville's wireless-dev git tree. It's probably too late to pull it for 2.6.23-rc8 (although if Linux wanted to do it it's only one git pull command away :-), but it would be really nic...

Use the dma_flags_set_dmabarrier() interface to allow a "dmabarrier" attribute to be associated with user-allocated memory. (For now, it's only implemented for mthca.)

Breaks on the Geode - original behavior. I think that having boot_prams.e820_entries != 0 makes the kernel I'm inclined to agree. Jordan -

I copied in a 2.6.22 kernel to see that it really did work, and it did. But here's the crazy part - I did a dmesg, and it looks like it *is* using e820 data, and it looks complete (I see the entire map - including the ACPI and reserved blocks way up high). So apparently it was the 2.6.22 code that was buggy, but reading it, I don't immediately see how. Jordan -- Jordan Crouse Systems Software Development Engineer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. -

That looks the same as the previous patch you sent? Jordan -- Jordan Crouse Systems Software Development Engineer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. -

Worked, but that just raises more questions. Why didn't more x86 boxes break or, alternatively, why did a new version of the BIOS fix the problem? I guess we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. Or something. Thanks very much for your help. Jordan -- Jordan Crouse Systems Software Development Engineer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. -

Was this a stock 2.6.22 kernel, or might it have been modified? There is, of course, also the possibility that triggering the BIOS bug in your case depends on some delicate combination of input state. -hpa -

Kernel 2.6.23-rc8-mm2 on a AMD-64, filesystems mounted are reiserfs, reiser4 and tmpfs. netconsole dmesg output and .config are included below. Near the end of my boot sequence, there is a kernel error. I am not sure exactly what user-space is doing to make this happen, but I know that a simple shell and some filesystem operations do not cause it. This error also occurred in 2.6.23-rc8-mm1 but I didn't have time to post it and hoped it would just go away. I never tested 2.6.23-rc7-mm*, and the...

Question: do we disable all CPUs except 0 when doing ACPI power off? Background: I have a machine here dedicated to running MythTV. It powers up to record, and then sets the RTC alarm for next time and powers down again in between recordings. It has an Intel Core2duo E6300 CPU, currently on an ICH8 motherboard. Previously it was on a completely different (vendor,bios,...) ICH7 motherboard. In both cases, "halt -p" sometimes fails to actually turn off the power, which means that it later then ...

Latest 2.6.23-rc-git. Same problem from time to time on 2.6.17, as well. Dunno about in between those Revs., but it's much more common on the latest Mmmm I originally didn't think so. But actually one board is ICH8, the other ICH8R, so yes, they use the same chipset. Cheers -

Hello, A big thanks to everybody who read and replied to my first e-mail; I have tried my best to incorporate your feedback and suggestions. I also added some CCs who recently participated in logging-related discussions. Changes (since Sept. 22): * Extensibility -> Allowing the compiler to eliminate messages below a certain threshold requires changing the API. * Add some special-purpose logging functions (printk_detected(), _registered(), _settings(), and _copyright()) * F...

The current kswapd (and try_to_free_pages) code has an oddity where the code will wait on IO, even if there is no IO in flight.

On Thu, 27 Sep 2007 14:47:02 -0700 Kswapd was no longer sitting in "D" state as often and pages got freed more promptly. The test was done on a RHEL kernel with this change though - I guess I should redo it with a current upstream If the number of pages undergoing IO is really small, waiting for them may be a waste of time. Actually, nr_io_pages is also incremented when we run into pages that It is incrementing sc.nr_io_pages and will wait on IO to complete if the amount of pages in fligh...

On Thu, 27 Sep 2007 15:59:07 -0700 Good point. The current kswapd (and try_to_free_pages) code has an oddity where the code will wait on IO, even if there is no IO in flight. This problem is notable especially when the system scans through many unfreeable pages, causing unnecessary stalls in the VM. Additionally, tasks without __GFP_FS or __GFP_IO in the direct reclaim path will sleep if a significant number of pages are encountered that should be written out. This gives kswapd a chance to w...

Hello, I have laptop Asus X50M. Using old Debian Etch from February. Kernel from 2.6.21 doesn't boot, hangs up just in 10seconds - 1minute after GRUB screen. I have tryed different versions of gcc (4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1) to build 2.6.22.8 kernel, but no results. But if I disable NO_HZ option 2.6.21 is working fine for me. I think this is important problem, because some of the project, Debian for example, are building kernel with this options enabled (in linux-image-2.6.22-1-k7 package it is en...
