We run into system boot failure with kernel 2.6.28-rc. We found it on a
couple of machines, including T61 notebook, nehalem machine, and another
HPC NX6325 notebook. All the machines use FedoraCore 8 or FedoraCore 9.
With kernel prior to 2.6.28-rc, system boot doesn't fail.
I debug it and locate the root cause. Pls. see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11899https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471517
As a matter of fact, there are 2 bugs.
1)root=/dev/sda1, system boot randomly fails. Mostly, boot for 5 times
and fails once. nash has a bug. Some of its functions misuse return
value 0. Sometimes, 0 means timeout and no uevent available. Sometimes,
0 means nash gets an uevent, but the uevent isn't block-related (for
exmaple, usb). If by coincidence, kernel tells nash that uevents are
available, but kernel also set timeout, nash might stops collecting
other uevents in queue if current uevent isn't block-related. I work
out a patch for nash to fix it.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18858
2) root=LABEL=/, system always can't boot. initrd init reports
switchroot fails. Here is an executation branch of nash when booting:
(1) nash read /sys/block/sda/dev; Assume major is 8 (on my desktop)
(2) nash query /proc/devices with the major number; It found line
"8 sd";
(3) nash use 'sd' to search its own probe table to find device (DISK)
type for the device and add it to its own list;
(4) Later on, it probes all devices in its list to get filesystem
labels; scsi register "8 sd" always.
When major is 259, nash fails to find the device(DISK) type. I enables
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y when compiling kernel, so 259 is picked up
for device /dev/sda1, which causes nash to fail to find device (DISK)
type.
To fixing issue 2), I create a patch for nash and another patch for
kernel.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18859http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18837
Below is the patch for kernel 2.6.28-rc4. It registers blkext, a new
block device in proc/devices.
With 2 patches on nash and 1 patch on kernel, I boot my machines for
dozens of times without failure.

As for now, the creation and update of conntracks via ctnetlink do not
propagate an event to userspace. This can result in inconsistent situations
if several userspace processes modify the connection tracking table by means
of ctnetlink at the same time. Specifically, using the conntrack command
line tool and conntrackd at the same time can trigger unconsistencies.
This patch also modifies the event cache infrastructure to pass the
process PID and the ECHO flag to nfnetlink_send() to report back
to userspace if the process that triggered the change needs so.
Based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

This patch adds module loading for helpers via ctnetlink.
* Creation path: We support explicit and implicit helper assignation. For
the explicit case, we try to load the module. If the module is correctly
loaded and the helper is present, we return EAGAIN to re-start the
creation. Otherwise, we return EOPNOTSUPP.
* Update path: release the spin lock, load the module and check. If it is
present, then return EAGAIN to re-start the update.
This patch provides a refactorized function to lookup-and-set the
connection tracking helper. The function removes the exported symbol
__nf_ct_helper_find as it has not clients anymore.

Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
"20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
/debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
right.
As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

Impact: give a way to send specific messages to tracers
The current implementation of tracing uses some flags to control the
output of general tracers. But we have no way to implement custom
flags handling for a specific tracer. This patch proposes a new
callback for the struct tracer which called set_flag and a structure
that represents a 32 bits variable flag.
A tracer can implement a struct tracer_flags on which it puts the
initial value of the flag integer. Than it can place a range of flags
with their name and their flag mask on the flag integer. The structure
that implement a single flag is called struct tracer_opt.
These custom flags will be available through the trace_options file
like the general tracing flags. Changing their value is done like the
other general flags. For example if you have a flag that calls "foo",
you can activate it by writing "foo" or "nofoo" on trace_options.
Note that the set_flag callback is optional and is only needed if you
want the flags changing to be signaled to your tracer and let it to
accept or refuse their assignment.
V2: Some arrangements in coding style....
