Hi Arnd, Kevin and Olof,

Please consider pulling in these 2 patches for v3.17. 1 is just a defconfig
update and the other is a simple DTS fix.

Thanks,
Dinh

They're for different topics here (one goes into next/defconfig, the
other in next/dt). It's silly to ask you to make one pull request per
patch though, so I just cherry-picked them into the two branches.

In other words: Patches have been applied, but I didn't merge the
branch. Thanks!

Sorry that I missed this. I just applied it. Will test and send out an

CC'd Chris/Ulf.

If you are ok, this patch will apply mmc tree.(3.16-rc5)
To prevent conflict, we want to get your opinion.

Hi!

I tried booting kernel based on ba36899, and got:

mmc0: new SDHC card at address b368

IIRC it worked ok in 3.16 in similar config. It may be stupid mistake,
but if you know what I did wrong, I'd like to know... (-6 is ENXIO, so
-- how can the device be there and not be there at the same time?)

Hmm...today's tip-top(899552d6) and ba36899 booted just fine for me. I
noticed something, you must have commits on top of your ba36899? Mine
shows 3.16.0-11149-gba36899.

But just a thought, should one really be developing and debugging with
commits in a merge window?

Ok, thanks for info. I went back to 3.16, and it worked in same
config, and went to 3.17, and it broke.

Well, some people test -next :-). I must admit it was initially a
mistake, but it is usually good to catch bugs ASAP.

I see. Just booted linux-next and it booted fine and was able to mount
/dev/mmcblk0p2 as the RFS.

Can you do a bisect? 3.17-rc2 booted fine for me today:

EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) on device 179:2.

Bisect would be hard... and I believe the problem is somewhere in
block layer now -- not socfpga-specific.

[Adding those on the commit mentioned below to this thread.]

I just updated my nightly build system from -rc3 to -rc5, and I'm seeing
this on the LDP3430 platform (but not the SDP4430) despite both using
MMC rootfs.

On SD4430, I see:

However, on LDP3430:

I think the problem may be 4dfe694f616e00e6fd83e5bbcd7a3c4d7113493d
("init: make rootdelay=N consistent with rootwait behaviour") which
was merged during the recent window.  This moved the delay after the
saved_root_name[] handling.  As we can see in the SDP4430 case, the
order was:

 - mmcblk0p2 detected
 - delay message
 - rootfs failure

and everything worked.  However, in the LDP3430 case:

 - delay message
 - mmcblk0p2 detected
 - rootfs failure

and it failed.  If we look at the code as it stands today:

        if (saved_root_name[0]) {
                root_device_name = saved_root_name;
                if (!strncmp(root_device_name, "mtd", 3) ||
                    !strncmp(root_device_name, "ubi", 3)) {
                        mount_block_root(root_device_name, root_mountflags);
                        goto out;
                }
                ROOT_DEV = name_to_dev_t(root_device_name);
                if (strncmp(root_device_name, "/dev/", 5) == 0)
                        root_device_name += 5;
        }

This tries to look up the root device name and translate to a dev_t.
We know that "mmcblk0p2" doesn't exist at this point, so ROOT_DEV is
zero here.

        if (initrd_load())
                goto out;

        if (root_delay) {
                pr_info("Waiting %d sec before mounting root device...\n",
                        root_delay);
                ssleep(root_delay);
        }

Here's our delay.

        /* wait for any asynchronous scanning to complete */
        if ((ROOT_DEV == 0) && root_wait) {
                printk(KERN_INFO "Waiting for root device %s...\n",
                        saved_root_name);
                while (driver_probe_done() != 0 ||
                        (ROOT_DEV = name_to_dev_t(saved_root_name)) == 0)
                        msleep(100);
                async_synchronize_full();
        }

If ROOT_DEV was still zero, and root_wait was set (it isn't) we'd then
try to re-evaluate ROOT_DEV.  ROOT_DEV must be set to mount the rootfs,
and we can see from the above failure messages that it was still zero.
That works out, because this code would never be run with root_wait=false.

The reason it used to work is because the delay came _before_ the first
"if" above, so causing the first ROOT_DEV lookup to succeed.

I think it may be better to move the root_delay handling either immediately
after md_run_setup(), or we need to re-lookup ROOT_DEV after the delay.
Paul, any thoughts?

After discussing it more on irc, it seems like moving the delay/wait
handling after md_run_setup [i.e. to the original location of delay vs.
the original location of wait] is probably best.

But, given as the original commit log indicated -- there may be a risk
of other corner cases subtly being broken by such a change, it is
probably best if we just revert the original now, and then try again in
the alternate location in the next dev cycle.  I'll send a revert
shortly.

Thanks for diagnosing this.
Paul.

Weird. It seems this regression is back in 4.0-rc7?

root=0xb302 works, root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 does not. socfpga board.
