Linux: 2.6.10 Final Woozy Numbat Released

Submitted by Jeremy
on December 24, 2004 - 8:35pm

Following two months after the release of the 2.6.9 Zonked Quokka Linux kernel [story], Linux creator Linus Torvalds released Woozy Numbat, the 2.6.10 kernel. He summarizes:

"Ok, with a lot of people taking an xmas break, here's something to play with over the holidays (not to mention an excuse for me to get into the Glögg for real ;)

"Mostly a lot of small fixes since 2.6.10-rc3, with the biggest thing being probably the CIFS update and the switch-over to the new DVB frontend driver world order. Some MMC and USB work too, and ARM updates as usual."

Further information can be found in the release announcements for 2.6.10-rc1 [story], 2.6.10-rc2 [story], and 2.6.10-rc3 [story], as well as in the complete changelog. The latest version of the kernel can be downloaded from your nearest kernel.org mirror. Read on for the list of changes since 2.6.10-rc3.

Ok, with a lot of people taking an xmas break, here's something to play
with over the holidays (not to mention an excuse for me to get into the
Glögg for real ;)

Mostly a lot of small fixes since 2.6.10-rc3, with the biggest thing being
probably the CIFS update and the switch-over to the new DVB frontend
driver world order.  Some MMC and USB work too, and ARM updates as usual.

Shortlog from 2.6.10-rc3 appended, with the full log from 2.6.9 on the 
normal distribution sites.

  o [CIFS] POSIX ACL support part 3
  o [CIFS] cifs readdir changes part 10 remove unneeded debug function
  o [CIFS] fix ls -l warning on dirs when POSIX ACLs enabled
  o [CIFS] cifs readdir part 11.  Also renames unused
    /proc/fs/cifs/QuotaEnabled config switch to NewReaddirEnabled for
    turning on testing of new readdir code
  o [CIFS] Add setfacl support to cifs
  o [CIFS] cifs readdir rewrite fix resume key handling
  o [CIFS] CIFS buffer management improvements part 1
  o [CIFS] minor cleanup to cifs buffer allocation code
  o [CIFS] fix size of cifs small buffers to just barely fit within
    slab limit (which appears to be 116 bytes), otherwise they take 1
    page each.
  o [CIFS] Set inode number properly on new cifs_readdir code to
    Windows servers
  o [CIFS] fix error mapping on getfacl to windows and old samba
    servers to map to EOPNOTSUPP so the kernel's fall back mechanism
    works
  o [CIFS] Update Kconfig to make CIFS POSIX ACLs dependent on xattrs
    and fix related ifdef in fs/cifs/xattr.c
  o [CIFS] Add missing quote to cifs kconfig item
  o [CIFS] Make new cifs readdir code the default and rename the proc
    entry to /proc/fs/cifs/ReenableOldCifsReaddirCode (which is off by
    default, causing the new cifs_readdir2 code to be executed by
    default)
  o [CIFS] Fix endianness bug in new cifs_readdir2 in calculating dir
    entry name length. Fix "badness in" message on rmmod cifs caused by
    rename of /proc/fs/cifs/NewReaddirEnabled config switch (pointed
    out by Shaggy).   
  o add direct mount options to optionally bypass the page cache on
    reads and writes
  o [CIFS] zero more of SMB param area on SMB allocation
  o [CIFS] fix spelling of CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL ifdef in direct i/o
    write
  o [CIFS] cleanup various warning/debug messages
  o [CIFS] add debug message for trusted and security xattrs
  o [CIFS] Increase size of small SMB pool (and decrease number) and do
    not zero the beginning of the header twice.
  o [CIFS] parse ipv6 addresses on mount (ipv6 support for cifs part 2)
  o [CIFS] Check right mid state on hung network responses.  Fix remote
    dnotify to be disabled by default. Fix dnotify endianness.
  o [CIFS] Do not block on FindNotify response
  o [CIFS] Allow peek to return less than smb header so we do not
    prematurely kill session to server when socket stack is busy.
  o Add support for module init parms for number of small and large
    cifs network buffers and for maximum number of simultaneous
    requests.  Fix directio of  userbuffers to use copy_to_user.
  o [CIFS] remove sparse warning
  o [CIFS] Remove sparse warning in use of cifs_write function
  o [CIFS] Fix CIFS_MAX_MSGSIZE so it can be configured at
    module_install time, allowing buffer size to be changed
  o return the right return code on failed ExtendedSecurity mount to
    SPNEGO enabled servers to avoid mount oops.  Fix case in which tcp
    stack only returns 3 bytes
  o [CIFS] Fix path based calls to consistently allow up to PATH_MAX
    (some were incorrectly limited to just over 512)
  o Error mapping workaround for NT4 bug of reporting oldstyle DOS
    error for ERR invalid level (shows up on attempts to do SetPathInfo
    to NT4)

Stéphane Eranian:
  o [IA64] fix pfm_force_terminate() to really cleanup the state

"Never argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and then win by experience".

Remember that Gentoo users. People always use this method after experiencing a problem with Gentoo, just ignore them. =p.

BTW anyone who dislikes Gentoo read this:

On the Internet, troll and trolling are slang term used to describe:

1. A person who makes posts (on newsgroups or other forums) that are solely intended to provoke responses from others, or to cause annoyance or offense.

In essence, a troll is a definition for one who is believed to be insincere in their actions to stir up controversy, or are so inflammatory in their actions that they produce ill effects in the community.

Dizzy (not verified)

December 25, 2004 - 5:26am

Please do not try to make an oppinion about all the Gentoo users just because some very few are very vocal and ... trolls. I have been using redhat for many years since 4.0 to 5.2 version, then I used slackware for some more years, then FreeBSD for a year (fallen in love with the ports system), debian 6 months and finally I am using Gentoo for 18 months. I will not say Gentoo rules, but I will say that I really don't see myself switching to any other distribution anytime soon. It really fills all my needs from a linux distribution and OS. I can be really lazy if I wish (just sit back and let it compile the stuff for me) or I can be the power user trying to tweak everything (maybe I dont want XMMS with gnome support which in turn whould trigger gnome-libs & co) etc. It really gives me the freedom to use it in any way I wish it. I will not say why the other distros I have used for so many years I think they don't offer that for me, in the end it boils down to personal taste.

Because I like it very much I am promoting Gentoo whenever I can, but this means I just advise people how I would solve their current problems on their distros with Gentoo (I generally tend to "attack" on matters on which I know they dont have an easier solution with their distribution, heh). I think there is nothing wrong in trying to promote the distribution you like and use. Of course, that this forum is not the place to do that, not in the way that guy did it. "Don't feed the troll(tm)" :)

An please, if you see a troll (gentooish or not) just give him the general troll treatement, do not try to make it gentoo specific. I live in a country where RedHat was the almost only known/used distro many years ago, and I never said RedHat or the RedHat users suck because people were asking on LUG mailinglists things like "Hey does this video card has a driver in Linux 6.0 ??". You get the idea :)

Fedora 3 runs out of the box very well, cpufreq, ACPI, ... and no lockups. That is Linux... I do not need an Windows...

seppe (not verified)

December 26, 2004 - 6:57pm

First, not every Gentoo system is the same, every Gentoo user can decide what they want and not want to support on their system.
I can say, for example, when I compile my programs that I don't want KDE/QT support. Because Gentoo users can tweak these things, the binaries on their systems can result in a smaller binary which executes faster than a binary on a binary-based distro, which has support for all kinds of things you don't want or need. I'm not saying this to praise Gentoo or something, I just think your (and some other people here) don't make any sense. Every distro has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

Second, it's idiot to say that ALL Gentoo users are stupid just because some of them they say they have the 'fastest and most stable system on earth'. That's the same as saying "All americans are stupid because they voted Bush".

Third, this discussion has absolutely nothing to do with 2.6.10

Fourth, Linux is all about choice. If you want a box 100% tweaked at your needs, then you chose Gentoo. If you don't want to compile things all the time, then you could chose Debian, etc ...

Got that? Ok :)

If there's one thing I find utterly displeasing about Gentoo, it's that mentioning it generates long, pointless threads like this one.

Gentoo the Distro might be the pinnacle of technology, or it might be the Linux equivalent of racing stripes and an R-Type sticker. I don't care. It's Gentoo the Noise Source that bothers me. "GENTOO ROCKS" has nothing to do with the Linux 2.6.10 kernel release. Please take these threads to other forums, mmmkay?

The post I'm replying to wasn't too bad, it was the other bazillion (including this one, I guess—shame on me) that felt the need to comment on the non-sequitor at the end mentioning Gentoo.

Don't you mean '...letting that zombie army rot instead coding away?', since by zombie army its usually assumed we're not talking about coders...hmm, but then they wouldn't be coding in the first place, which would make your post 'logically/meaningfully' correct...but since we're talking about zombies they wouldn't be able to code anything worthy of the kernel, which would mean I am correct...

Oh, you'd be surprised what kind of things you can teach zombies. There's always not too complex coding to do, and I never said they should work on the kernel (they could write all kinds of GUI apps ;-). Heck, if the whole plan is a disaster and they're hopeless, we can still rent them out to certain big companies to add much needed bloat to their code.

- dvgrab do not crash anymore when acquiring DV from 1394 device ;
- kernel now boots reliably (2.6.9 used to freeze at ALSA initialization or near that point) ;
- bttv tuner options are now correclty parsed at boot (adc_crush was unknown for 2.6.9, even if it was a valid option for the tuner) ;
- cdrecord now works as simple user with k3b18.

Regressions :
- slower startup when udev is mounted (did not investigate for now, but it seems also more reliable since MMC card readers now appears at boot on my laptop and didn't with previous kernels) ;
- swsusp is very slow (compared to 2.6.7), there is a kernel panic just before power off (didn't have time enough to read it), and USB is broken on wake up. But I do not use swsusp.

Finally, this kernel is far better than 2.6.8/2.6.9. Upgrade recommended!

I'm using softwaresuspend.berlios.de, there's a patch for 2.6.10 too (its just not on the main page - find it here http://download.berlios.de/softwaresuspend/) ...

The in-kernel suspends seem to be un-maintained and all efforts are in this project now.

The in-kernel swsusp isn't unmaintained, infact Pavel's been making a lot of updates recently.

No Reiser4 ... it's long long overdue. It's already probably has fewer problems than JFS on Linux.

Agreed... the lack of reiser4 support is the only reason I'm still using the -mm series (on the rare occassions I download one that works).

I haven't had any problems with JFS on Linux yet using kernel 2.4.27 (with standard Debian patches which include a 1-2 minor JFS bugfixes found in kernel 2.4.28). I'm also using jfsutils 1.1.7.

Before switching to JFS recently, I've been using EXT3 (ordered mode). And before using EXT3, I was using ReiserFS (not v4) until I lost data (about a year ago).

On the 2.4 kernels, JFS is using the equivalent to EXT3's ordered mode. On the 2.6 kernels, JFS uses the equivalent of EXT3's writeback mode (similar to ReiserFS and XFS). My understanding is that ordered is more robust than writeback but just a bit slower.

I'm willing to try Reiser4 after another year or so on test machines because of past experience with ReiserFS (happy with performance but unhappy with data loss). Until then, I'm sticking with JFS and ext3 on kernel 2.4.27+ and I'm willing to try XFS on kernel 2.6 series.

I chose JFS because I'm using kernel 2.4.27/2.4.28 on machines with slow CPUs (JFS beats all other journalling filesystems in terms of low CPU usage). If I were using kernel 2.6 on fast CPU machines, I'd probably have selected XFS over JFS.

Also, I haven't seen any problems posted about JFS after JFS 1.1.6 (currently 1.1.7).

If I were using kernel 2.4.26 or older, I'd stay with EXT3. Both JFS and XFS have had important bugfixes in kernel 2.4.27.

I hope Reiser4 is a lot more robust than the crappy ReiserFS of early 2004.

Another thing to consider is that JFS is maintained by a team at IBM and they release around 3-4 updates per year. They've been using JFS on AIX and OS/2 for years. The OS/2 version had the benefit of the AIX version and the Linux version had the benefit of the OS/2 version. The AIX version will probably always have code/features/optimizations that will not go into the Linux version but their experience with JFS on both AIX and OS/2 will certainly benefit the Linux version if the same programmers are working on it.

JFS is top choice on kernel 2.4 series (if using 2.4.27 or later)
XFS is top choice on kernel 2.6 series (especially if HD has MANY files).

Reiser4 needs to prove itself not to cause data loss given the poor track-record of ReiserFS in prior versions.

Just an opinion based on a few weeks of research and careful consideration in choosing a filesystem for my new linux boxes.

2.6.6 vs. 1.6.10 performance?

Hello all!

I have an quick question about performance: I'm running Mandrake 10.1 (with some cooker features) here, but I still used an older 2.6.6 kernel!

And I was quite unhappy with the performance, esp. when switching applications. There seemed to be whether an IO bottleneck or X itself!

On Monday, I installed a new 2.6.10 kernel. It booted great, but the X performance is incredibly higher! - I did not change anythng else, but the system is much "responsier" and I don't have to wait for a couple of seconds until the screen is redrawn after the application switch!

Did someone else also recognized this performance growth? - I posted to the german MDK forum, but many people updated to any kernel available and didn't do the big "jump". So they couldn't recognize the performance jump!

I also tried to meassure the improvements with a little script (create 200 MB tar.bz2, md5sum, encryption, copy to NFS folder), but the 2.6.6 is 2:30 minutes faster (14:00 vs. 16:30 or so!).

This was interesting, but my theory is this: Scheduler improvements make the kernel more responsive to the user front end, but this might decrease for expample this "job performance".

Any ideas, comments?

Which X client are you using exactly? Because I had the same improvements using a variation of Enlightenment.
