Yes, I know it's tainted, and it's possible the root cause is a self-inflicted buggy module - but the traceback above seems odd. Did some of my code manage to idle the CPU while is_atomic was set, or is the path from cpu_idle on down doing something it shouldn't be? (I admit being confused - if my code was the source of the is_atomic error, shouldn't it have been caught on the *previous* call to schedule - the one that ran through all the queues and decided we should invoke idle?
Sounds sane. Perhaps preempt_count is getting mucked up in interrupt context? iirc there's some toy in either the recently-added tracing code or still in the -rt tree which would help find a missed unlock, but I forget what it was. Ingo will know... --

Does this also show up in 2.6.25-rc8 without -mm? I thought I fixed this already, I don't see what slipped into -mm that would have caused it to come back. Time to run some more tests... Oh, also note that binding and unbinding the main "usb" driver is not encouraged, or even supported. I'm amazed it works, as this is not something that any "real" user would do as it makes no sense at all because we have no "alternative" drivers yet for the main USB device. thanks, greg k-h --
It's a real bug. I don't have time to track it down now. Next week... Alan Stern --
Here's the answer. The bug was introduced when the definition of device_is_registered() in include/linux/device.h was changed. The old definition returned 0 when called inside a driver's remove method for a device being unregistered, whereas the new definition returns 1. I don't know when this change was made. This patch ought to fix the problem. Jiri, can you confirm that it works? Alan Stern ----------------------------------------------------------- Removing an interface's sysfs files before unregistering the interface doesn't work properly, because usb_unbind_interface() will reinstall altsetting 0 and thereby create new sysfs files. This patch (as1074) removes the files after the unregistration is finished. It's not quite as clean, but at least it works. Also, there's no need to check if an interface has been registered before removing its sysfs files. If it hasn't been registered then the files won't have been created, so usb_remove_sysfs_intf_files() will simply do nothing.

Well, it's not really any _simpler_, since all I did was interchange two lines of code. But I agree this way is better. It doesn't depend on the behavior of device_is_registered() in the ill-defined situation where the device is in the middle of being unregistered. Alan Stern --
8/2.6.25-rc8-mm1/ This fails to come up on my development machine, apparently because it has trouble accessing the SATA hard disks. Hardware: Intel Pentium D940, Intel DQ965GF board, two SATA hard disks. Some unusual things I noticed during the boot process: - a message "doing fast boot" that looked unfamiliar; unfortunately it scrolled off too quickly to note its context - for each of the two SATA ports in use, a message "SATA port is slow to respond, please be patient" accompanied by about 10 secs wait - it actually got past the point where it mounts the root file system, so it must have thought it could access the disks - finally, the system hung completely after the SUSE startup messages Setting current sysctl status from /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts =3D 1 with a dead keyboard and I had to hit the Win^Wreset button. - After rebooting into 2.6.24-rc8 (which works fine), nothing had been written to the disks, not even the dmesg output which SUSE usually dumps into /var/log/boot.msg early during startup. Before I try booting that kernel again, any instructions on what to watch out for? Is netconsole usable again? Other ideas? Regards, Tilman

Final report, seeing -mm2 is out: - Netconsole works. (grumblestupidsusefirewallgrumble) - The hang during boot only happens with kernels compiled with CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL=3Dy It also doesn't always happen at the same point in the boot sequence. I'm suspecting it might be triggered by some network packet. Anyway, it's obviously *not* a SATA problem. (That was just me jumping to conclusions, because ...) - That leaves only the messages ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=3D-16) and accompanying delays during boot, for each installed SATA disk. I'll try to find the time to retest this with 2.6.25-rc8-mm2. Thanks, Tilman --=20 Tilman Schmidt E-Mail: tilman@imap.cc Wehrhausweg 66 Fax: +49 228 4299019 53227 Bonn, Germany
Done. The messages and delays do *not* happen with 2.6.25-rc8-mm2. HTH Tilman
I don't remember seeing a report of the CIFS hang. It might be caused by bkl-removal-convert-cifs-over-to-unlocked_ioctl.patch, but it's hard to see That would be good, thanks. --
This is taking longer than I hoped, so here's a little progress report.
That message doesn't make it into dmesg. It's apparently a Suse thing,
These messages seem to be a separate issue. I also get them with
a .config that otherwise brings up the system successfully. That
allowed me to capture a dmesg, so here are some possibly interesting

Looks legitimate, although we've been doing that since Linux 2.6.0-test3 (selinux merge) for inode_alloc_security and d_instantiate, and since Linux 2.6.14 for inode_init_security, so something is at least triggering it more easily now. inode_doinit_with_dentry looks like another instance and security_context_to_sid_core as well. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency --

On Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:12:49 -0400 The backtrace tells it all - we were inside a transaction for filesystem A, went into page reclaim, reclaimed an inode for filesystem B and then DQUOT_DROP() tried to start a transaction on filesystem B. JBD doesn't like cross-fs nested transactions (it'll corrupt task_struct.journal_info, and will cause ab/ba deadlocks). So it went BUG. Presumably something in the quota updates in -mm caused this. --
I think quota is innocent in this ;). We start a transaction in ext3_dquot_drop() for quite some time already. The problem is really in inode_alloc_security() and Josef pointed out. We really aren't allowed to allocate with GFP_KERNEL there because the reclaim code could as well decide to just write an inode on a different filesystem...

Okay. Found it. Root cause is: mm-make-mem_map-allocation-continuous.patch and its friends in -mm. You have to call sparse_init_one_section() on each pmap and usemap as we allocate - since valid_section() depends on it (which is needed by vmemmap_populate() to check if the section is populated or not). On ppc, we need to call htab_bolted_mapping() on each section and we need to skip existing sections. These patches tried to group all allocations together and then later calls sparse_init_one_section() - which is not good :( Please let me know, if its doesn't make sense - I will try to explain better :) Thanks, Badari --

Kamalesh, With your config, I am able to reproduce the problem. I haven't touched that part of code. I can take a look at it. It looks like we are trying to create mapping for same "vaddr" multiple times and we get failures after few creates. I am not sure why we are trying to create so many times with same vaddr. Thanks, Badari --
Dell Latitude D820, Core2 T7200, x86_64. Built my usual .config cleanly, booted OK, has gone for a half hour of fairly representative usage without any oopsen or other dmesg surprises...
Yes, it passed testing on my six test machines without any runtime problems at all. Weird. Lots of compile-time problems, but that's usual. --

--ahh, yup, known problem, sorry. We are slowly working on a fix. --
This the fix that I posted a couple of days ago after Andrew noted the
problem:
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
Subject: Allow override of definition for asm constant
MIPS has a different way of defining asm constants which causes troubles
for bounds.h generation (see also the Kbuild script).
Add a new per arch CONFIG variable
CONFIG_ASM_SYMBOL_PREFIX
which can be set to define an alternate header for asm constant definitions.
Use this for MIPS to make bounds determination work right.

--On Wed, 2 Apr 2008 10:33:32 -0700 (PDT) I'm obviously missing something here. i386 generates ->NR_PAGEFLAGS $18 __NR_PAGEFLAGS # mips generates ->NR_PAGEFLAGS 18 __NR_PAGEFLAGS # The only difference is the "$".

For some reason the asm-offset.c for mips generates it differently and the Maybe the simple solution is to drop the strange mips way of doing things I guess this is some convention to allow the Kbuild set script to extract the value. There must be some reason that they added the strange prefix. ccing Sam who may shed some light on this. --
When the asm-offset stuff were consolidated the mips variant did not match the others. I do not recall if I ever tried this on a mips tool-chain and as my dev box is busted atm I cannot even test it out now. I would be happy if we could kill the MIPS specific sed expression in the top-level Kbuild file. Ralf - can you take a look at this and see if mips really generates different assembler syntax which warrants the different sed expression. If mips really needs a different sed expression then we should adjust it so the output is similar to the other archs. Sam --
The reason for MIPS doing things a little different is that the resulting
<asm/asm-offsets.h> doesn't look like machine generated jibberish. So
how about below patch which combines the two sed expressions.

Subject: Standardize mips asm-offsets.c somewhat
mips uses a different pattern to signal a constant in the asm code generated
by asm-offsets.c which in turn requires special handling in Kbuild and
causes trouble for the new mechanism to count the number of page flags.
Remove the special handling and make mips use the same string as all the
other arches (->).
It seems that MIPS tried to have nice looking asm output. Sadly this
patch disturbsthat nice formatting somewhat and makes it look like asm
output for any otherarch.

Ahh you want to insert comments into the generated include/asm-*/asm-offsets.h. Hmmm, the header comments state that it was generated so one would hopefully look at the source file instead ? If we want comments etc in there then we may want to do in some standardized fashion that works across all arches. Most of the arch/*/asm-offsets.c contents are exactly the same.
