 Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2006 1:57 pm Post subject: 2.6.17-emission6: Shock Treatment |
 |
|
E-Mission Sources is based on the Lockless Pagecache by Nick Piggin, GenPatches, and CK.
The main goal of this patchset is to stay updated with gentoo-sources releases,
offer latest features, decrease latencies, decrease overhead, and improve interactivity. Another
goal of E-Mission Sources is stability. We boot test each release and run for an extended amount of time.
/* Notes */
New version of genpatches, more Thinkpad related patches, added grsecurity for hardened users, and alot of cleanups and bug fix patches.
Predatorfreak has stepped down as maintainer, and I am now fully maintaining emission-sources again.
All problems you have been having with -emission4 and -emission5 are cleared up with this release.
There is an inclusion of a "lockless" USE flag, for those who have had no problems, and don't
mind being a little experimental.

Note: I also included tp_smapi-0.27, so you can 'emerge -C' your old one. |
Protect not working as expected... But thanks for tp_smapi!

Suspend2 not working here, it hangs while "doing atomic copy". This seems to be an old problem I once had with beyond.
/edit: Even standby is not working! The system hangs when reactivating. No idea what's wrong, but the kernel sucks in my case.

Try without lockless.

I didn't activate lockless.

Can you post your dmesg when you try to suspend, and also when you try to use hdaps_protect?

I will, I like the looks of it, I'm trying a few of the features now. Are there any other hardening patches you'd like included?

Same problems as emission5 here maybe what others above are experiencing. Suspend2's /proc directories are completely missing so no suspend or resume could really work. Suspend can probably work but it wont resume without /proc dirs. |

My requests:
Genetic io-scheduler and io-fingerprinting from Jake Moilanen: http://kernel.jakem.net/patches/genetic/2.6.17/2.6.17-gl1/ as described here http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/
I know... I know... latencies... But I like this stuff. So maybe optional as a USE flag.

and CPU overhead and waste-of-code for 99% of all workloads in the world.

That's not a bug, it's a feature. Nigel skipped /proc for /sys. You need to adjust your scripts to point to /sys/power/suspend2/{do_suspend,do_resume}. |

Almost everything works fine here, except suspend2.
Suspend2 is compiled in to the source, both file- and swapwriter, under bootup the kernel confirms this. But when i use the command 'hibernate' I get this error:
| Code: |
hibernate: WARNING: Filewriter location given, but kernel does not have filewriter
hibernate: support. Ignoring.
Your kernel does not appear to have Software Suspend 2 support compiled in.
Please follow the HOWTO linked from http://www.suspend2.net/ for instructions
on how to compile Software Suspend into your kernel.
hibernate: Aborting.
|
What can cause this? |
