Bug Description

SRU Justification

Impact:

The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch.

The 2.6.32.23 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be
included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.

Accepted linux into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

These fixes and especially the ones on the "mm page allocator" are most likely affecting me.

I was looking into filling up a bug report regarding my unanswered question, when I saw this one.

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+question/130117

I will definitively be testing it with our applications as soon as it makes it to the lucid-proposed packages.

Thanks.

I tested the proposed kernel on a 32-bit machine running up to date lucid after running into issues with improperly computed user CPU times. I was finding that with long running cpu intensive processes, the user cpu time queried via getrusage would stop increasing.

See the following kernel bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16559

It appears this issue is fixed with the proposed release, see the changelog entry:
"sched: Fix user time incorrectly accounted as system time on 32-bit"

Any clues as to when/if this will become part of the main lucid release?

thanks to those involved in preparing the proposed package.

Bonjour,

it did not help for our specific memory issue. We are still looking and will probably revert back to our previous solution which is to use a 2.6.33 kernel. But it would still be nice to have a fix in the LTS and not use externally build kernels.

For the rest, I have tested it on workstation and on a few other servers and I did not encounter any issues.

Thanks.
