Hi,
I noticed that since https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?… (which also got backported to -stable kernels) several of messages from dmesg regarding the ATA subsystem are no longer logged.
For example, on my Dell PowerEdge 840 which has only one PATA port I used to get:
scsi host1: ata_piix
ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xfc00 irq 14
ata2: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xfc08 irq 15
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2: MAP [ P0 P2 P1 P3 ]
ata2: port disabled--ignoring
ata1.01: NODEV after polling detection
ata1.00: ATAPI: SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-248F, R602, max UDMA/33
After that commit, the following two log entries are missing:
ata2: port disabled--ignoring
ata1.01: NODEV after polling detection
Note that these are just examples, there are many more messages impacted by that.
Looking at the code, these messages are logged via ata_link_dbg / ata_dev_dbg:
ata_link_dbg(link, "port disabled--ignoring\n"); [in drivers/ata/libata-eh.c]
ata_dev_dbg(dev, "NODEV after polling detection\n"); [in drivers/ata/libata-core.c]
The commit change how the logging is called - ata_dev_printk function which was calling printk() directly got replaced with the following macro:
+#define ata_dev_printk(level, dev, fmt, ...) \
+ pr_ ## level("ata%u.%02u: " fmt, \
+ (dev)->link->ap->print_id, \
+ (dev)->link->pmp + (dev)->devno, \
+ ##__VA_ARGS__)
(...)
#define ata_link_dbg(link, fmt, ...) \
- ata_link_printk(link, KERN_DEBUG, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
+ ata_link_printk(debug, link, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
(...)
#define ata_dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ...) \
- ata_dev_printk(dev, KERN_DEBUG, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
+ ata_dev_printk(debug, dev, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__
So, instead of printk(..., level == KERN_DEBUG, ) we now call pr_debug(...). This is a problem as printk(msg, KERN_DEBUG) != pr_debug(msg).
pr_debug is defined as:
/* If you are writing a driver, please use dev_dbg instead */
#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) || \
(defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE) && defined(DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE))
#include <linux/dynamic_debug.h>
/**
* pr_debug - Print a debug-level message conditionally
* @fmt: format string
* @...: arguments for the format string
*
* This macro expands to dynamic_pr_debug() if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is
* set. Otherwise, if DEBUG is defined, it's equivalent to a printk with
* KERN_DEBUG loglevel. If DEBUG is not defined it does nothing.
*
* It uses pr_fmt() to generate the format string (dynamic_pr_debug() uses
* pr_fmt() internally).
*/
#define pr_debug(fmt, ...) \
dynamic_pr_debug(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#elif defined(DEBUG)
#define pr_debug(fmt, ...) \
printk(KERN_DEBUG pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define pr_debug(fmt, ...) \
no_printk(KERN_DEBUG pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#endif
Without CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG and if no CONFIG_DEBUG is enabled, the end result is calling no_printk which means nothing gets logged.
Looking at the code, there are more impacted calls, like for example ata_dev_dbg(dev, "disabling queued TRIM support\n") for ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM, which also seems like an important information to log, and there are more.
Was this change done intentionally? Note that most of the "debug" printks in libata code seem to be guarded by ata_msg_info / ata_msg_probe / ATA_DEBUG which was sufficient to prevent excess debug information logging.
One of the cases like this was covered in the patch:
-#ifdef ATA_DEBUG
if (status != 0xff && (status & (ATA_BUSY | ATA_DRQ)))
- ata_port_printk(ap, KERN_DEBUG, "abnormal Status 0x%X\n",
- status);
-#endif
+ ata_port_dbg(ap, "abnormal Status 0x%X\n", status);
Assuming this is the intended direction, would it make sense for now to at promote "unconditionally" logged messages from ata_link_dbg/ata_dev_dbg to ata_link_info/ata_dev_info?
Longer term, perhaps we want to revisit ata_msg_info/ata_msg_probe/ATA_DEBUG/ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG vs ata_dev_printk/ata_link_printk/pr_debug (and maybe also pr_devel), especially that DYNAMIC_DEBUG is available these days...

Krzysztof Olędzki

Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix use-after-free of timer for log writer thread
Patch series "nilfs2: fix log writer related issues".
This bug fix series covers three nilfs2 log writer-related issues,
including a timer use-after-free issue and potential deadlock issue on
unmount, and a potential freeze issue in event synchronization found
during their analysis. Details are described in each commit log.
This patch (of 3):
A use-after-free issue has been reported regarding the timer sc_timer on
the nilfs_sc_info structure.
The problem is that even though it is used to wake up a sleeping log
writer thread, sc_timer is not shut down until the nilfs_sc_info structure
is about to be freed, and is used regardless of the thread's lifetime.
Fix this issue by limiting the use of sc_timer only while the log writer
thread is alive.

commit cd94d1b182d2 ("dm/amd/pm: Fix problems with reboot/shutdown for
some SMU 13.0.4/13.0.11 users") attempted to fix shutdown issues
that were reported since commit 31729e8c21ec ("drm/amd/pm: fixes a
random hang in S4 for SMU v13.0.4/11") but caused issues for some
people.
Adjust the workaround flow to properly only apply in the S4 case:
-> For shutdown go through SMU_MSG_PrepareMp1ForUnload
-> For S4 go through SMU_MSG_GfxDeviceDriverReset and
SMU_MSG_PrepareMp1ForUnload
