From ea3acb199a5d7e4da1de0a4288eba993b29f33b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wessel Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:08:30 -0500 Subject: x86: earlyprintk: Fix regression to handle serial,ttySn as 1 arg Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console") introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel arguments. If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument and not as "serial" and then "ttyS". Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS directly without the "serial" argument.

While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include " from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place." See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14354 for all the gory details.
