IRC log of #maemo for Friday, 2013-01-04

fastaOnly because it has a faster processor and a more fancy screen?00:00
ShadowJKwirr; weird in emmc to usd case mmcblk1 shows both reads and writes00:00
ShadowJKswap?00:00
*** VDVsx has quit IRC00:00
fastaThe only good place for an Android device seems to be /dev/null.00:01
fastaSpeaking of which: someone said I could test harddisk performance by doing dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null o.O00:01
fastaWhat has the world come to?00:02
ShadowJKwirr; error -110 in dmesg?00:02
DocScrutinizer05*cough*00:02
wirrShadowJK: yep00:02
*** lnxmen has joined #maemo00:03
fastaAre the Lumia phones spyphones like the Androids and the i-devices?00:03
wirrShadowJK: there is a swap partition on mmcblk1 (default nemo image) but it is not used/active in maemo. i definitely cannot explain the reads on mmcblk100:03
fastaThat would seem a very Microsoft way of doing things; doing things exactly the same.00:03

freemangordonthis is the long-standing bug in SGX firmware00:04

infobotfreemangordon meant: this is a long-standing bug in SGX firmware00:04
fastaDoes the N900 come with cgroups preconfigured? o.O00:04
freemangordonfasta: yes00:05
fastaDid Nokia invent them?00:05
fastaAt least, I thought they weren't _that_ old.00:05
fastaNokiaTechTeam++00:05
fastaMerged in 2007.00:07
wirrShadowJK: I think the device descriptors in iostat are swapped (so mmcblk0=sd, mmcblk1=emmc). then the write effectively are page swaps00:10
lnxmenfreemangordon: thanks, it works :)00:10
ShadowJKright00:10
freemangordonlnxmen: np00:11
wirrso far I can say the following in regards to the sandisk card:00:14
wirr- works fine in stock pr1.300:14
wirr- throws a lot fi/o errors in kp51 with default00:14
wirr- behaves way better in kp51 using ShadowJKs tweaks but still throws i/o errors from time to time00:15
wirrShadowJK: any advice on how to find optimal alignment/scheduler settings for this card?00:15
ShadowJKwell the scheduler stuff just tries to make data "easier" for the card to process, it's still possible that the vard might get data patterns it times out on00:17
wirrso far couldn't find _any_ documentation on sandisk website regarding recommended settings00:17
jon_yheh, docs? what docs?00:18
wirr;-)00:18
jon_ythese are highly confidential and trade secret information, yada yada yada00:18
* ShadowJK suspects everyone is just ignoring it now00:19
wirr...00:19
ShadowJKignoring timeout stuff00:20
wirrhmm... doesn't seem to be a good option if this results in I/O -110 transmission errors :-(00:21
wirrcould there be any relation to the older -110 problem with palis u-boot bootstrapping the nemo kernel?00:21
ShadowJKBut basically kp sets timeout to maximum possible, and stock kernel sets it shorter, maybe00:22
kerioDocScrutinizer05: it's00:22
kerio~snowboarding00:22
infobotmethinks snowboarding is a sport that kills your n90000:22
ShadowJKSo kp should give the card the longest possible time to do stuff00:22
keriooh no, not you, someone else who was talking at the same time, sorry for the ping00:22
ShadowJKWhy it works on stock and not pk is mysterious :)00:24

kerioDocScrutinizer05: not necessarily00:37
wirr~coffee00:38
infobotextra, extra, read all about it, coffee is the reason the net exists, the drug of choice for a GNU generation, http://www.chez.com/emarsden/downloads/coffee.el, /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-html/mini/Coffee.html, geiseri's favorite beverage00:38
DocScrutinizer05kerio: once more, verbose: setting timeout to MAX might trigger a quite common bug in the card driver00:39
wirrDoc: is there an easy way for me to verify without to compile a custom kernel (don't have the sdk)?00:39
DocScrutinizer05usually called one-off-bug00:39
DocScrutinizer05iirc00:39
*** lnxmen has quit IRC00:40
DocScrutinizer05wirr: sorry, I never looked into that driver00:40
*** eijk_ has joined #maemo00:40
DocScrutinizer05a modinfo will tell a bit about allowed module parameters, if any00:40
DocScrutinizer05I gather that module is no module though, it's probably monolithic00:41
*** eijk has quit IRC00:41
DocScrutinizer05aka built-in to kernel00:41
DocScrutinizer05if it were a module, you could try unloading it and force-loading the stock kernel's driver module instead00:42
wirrmhm... I'll check that out00:43
DocScrutinizer05wirr: otoh I'm rather sure pali and other devels here will be happy to compile test kernels for you00:43
wirrDoc: cool, that sounds generous :-)00:43
DocScrutinizer05at least pali should be interested in finding out complete info about a possible flaw/bug in his powerkernel00:44
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon might be willing to help as well00:44
DocScrutinizer05wirr: btw doc: is not highlighting here (otherwise I'd get ~500 flase positives per day)00:45
DocScrutinizer05xchat should allow tab-completion of nicknames00:46

wirrDocScrutinizer05: while I'm restoring my crypto-backup could you tell me a little something about what's to be expected from maemo's future?00:49
wirrI mean considering the current transition of maemo.org can we expect a boost in activity or is cssu-development rather slowing down due the lack of new hardware?00:51
keriowirr: the transition shouldn't really change things00:54
kerioat best we'll get a bit more control over the repos00:54
kerioso things should work a bit better, i suppose00:54
wirrkerio: so far that sounds goods00:55
kerioyep :D00:55
keriothe lack of new hardware is annoying, yes00:56
wirrwhats the stopper in porting maemo to other hardware? i mean the n9 seems ideal considering its omap00:57
keriothe closed blobs00:58
kerioand all the closed stuff00:58
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC00:58
wirrarrgh... it's always the same problem :-(00:59
kerioalso, maemo kinda sucks00:59
keriosomething like cordia HD would be better00:59
wirrwhy's that?00:59
kerioor, hell, just debian with hildon desktop00:59
wirroh yeah!00:59
* wirr agrees strongly00:59
DocScrutinizer05~closed01:00
wirris it already possible to run hildon ontop of debian?01:00
infobotfrom memory, closed is http://wiki.maemo.org/Why_the_closed_packages or https://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages01:00
keriomessybox, upstart, the fucking FUBAR partitioning, the billion ways to run daemons...01:00
keriowirr: well, it's open source01:00
kerioand the cordiahd guys patched it to support resolutions other than 800x480 or 480x80001:00
wirrkerio: ok, I rephrase: is it already possible for non-developer?01:00
kerioit *should* be just a x11 window manager01:01
DocScrutinizer05kerio: the other sucking parts could get fixed easily in a spinoff, since any maemo on N9 wouldn't be fremantle anyway01:02
keriomy point is that we don't really want maemo, we want a linux distro with hildon-desktop01:02
DocScrutinizer05well, no01:02
DocScrutinizer05I also want ICD for example01:03
kerioi wonder why the openpandora guys didn't go with hildon-desktop too01:03
DocScrutinizer05the status bar01:03
DocScrutinizer05the dialer01:03
kerioICD is kind of a piece of crap though01:03
kerioand can't manage more than one connection at a time, at least with the current UI01:03
kerio*GUI01:03
DocScrutinizer05there's a lot more than HD that defines awesomness of fremantle01:03
keriothe status bar is part of hildon01:04
kerionot just hildon-desktop though, that's true01:04
DocScrutinizer05not of HD though01:04
keriowhy the dialer?01:04
DocScrutinizer05because it works01:04
kerioit makes phone calls, what's so good about it?01:04
keriothe address book system is really good, that's true01:05
DocScrutinizer05that it makes phonecalls01:05
keriomeh, phone calls are overrated :P01:05
keriobesides, couldn't we grab the openmoko stuff for that?01:05
kerio*can't01:05
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer05: it's 4 bits in a 32 bit register. 15 (1111) is reserved, 14 is longest timeout, and pk hard codes that, while the original code gets a timeout requested from higher level mmc code01:05
ShadowJKAnd then sets timeout to closest available of the 1501:06
ShadowJKAnother patch I found online sets it to twice the requested timeout (but still limited to 14 max, which is max the omap hw supports)01:07

DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: SiErr?01:44
ShadowJK.01:45
ShadowJK?01:45
DocScrutinizer0514 defective in silicon01:45
* DocScrutinizer05 also rises eyebrows on "15: reserved"01:46
DocScrutinizer05I'd build a PK module that hardcodes 7 instead 1401:48
DocScrutinizer05another one with 1301:48
DocScrutinizer05hell, if the 'patch' in PK that makes this adata card work is that it uses an hardcoded 14 instead a value it gets from card...01:49
DocScrutinizer05could we enable some debug mode in that driver, to see what wirr's 'defective' card requests for that timeout value?01:50
DocScrutinizer05raw value, not after trimming01:51
DocScrutinizer05maybe the card's controller depends on that timeout? to save some internal timers for whatever01:52
DocScrutinizer05after all flash-erasure of a page is some timed process01:53
wirrDocScrutinizer05, ShadowJK may this be related: http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/omap_applications_processors/f/42/t/29521.aspx01:53
ShadowJKThat's a circuit board design thing... if Nokia did it wrong we'd see issues on many many devices and cards01:54
DocScrutinizer05wirr: excellent find01:55
wirrDocScrutinizer05, ShadowJK: I assume you're aware of the TI OMAP errata document of 2010? There's something bout "MMC: Multiple Block Read Operation Issue"02:00
ShadowJKNope02:00
DocScrutinizer05nope02:00

DocScrutinizer05~docscrutinizer02:06
infobotrumour has it, docscrutinizer is jOERG, a HW-developer and engineer of Openmoko02:06
wirrI see. :-)02:06
DocScrutinizer05I'd actully say senior EE02:07
wirrso why don't you build a new device for us ;-)02:07
wirrdoes this ring a bell? "The maximum block size supported by the host controller is 1024 bytes. This value is hard-coded in the02:07
wirrregister MMCi.MMCHS_CAPA[17:16] MBL field and cannot be changed.02:07
wirr"02:07
DocScrutinizer05because it costs "a significan slice of a million", as SpeedEvil likes to put it02:08
wirrunsurprisingly...02:08
DocScrutinizer05(ring a bell) well, it for sure should show up in driver somehow02:09
DocScrutinizer05something that's hardcoded in hw needs also to get hardcoded to the driver02:09
wirrhmmm... so that's not related to /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/nr_requests?02:10
*** eijk_ has quit IRC02:10
DocScrutinizer05err nope, that's number of entries in IO scheduler queue afaik02:10
DocScrutinizer05IOW number of pending IO02:10
wirrok...02:11
DocScrutinizer05should be unrelated to any blocksize02:11
* DocScrutinizer05 waves and heads out for a nice beer02:11
DocScrutinizer05next pub02:11
wirrDocScrutinizer05, bye then and cheers02:12
DocScrutinizer05wirr: (EE) I'm available btw, if you got some interesting project and the money to pay me :-)02:12
wirrDocScrutinizer05, I'm in network security, but who knows...02:13

wirrdidn't know that02:19
DocScrutinizer05it's an awesome incredible "one man project" courtesy Nikolaus Schaller, and recycles a few components of openmoko phones02:21
DocScrutinizer05I never felt like the latter was an extremely brilliant idea02:21
DocScrutinizer05could as well have used screen and case of N90002:22
wirrwould have been a more practical form factor...02:22
DocScrutinizer05or arbitrary other case and LCD02:22
*** lxp1 has quit IRC02:22
wirrbut if he's still on it this might happen for a next release?02:23

freemangordonthedead1440: hmm, what is that "However, Rob Baeur (SD69) has now informed me that Harmattan might not be involved in the Board's discussions with Nokia." supposed to mean?17:57
thedead1440freemangordon: Let's clarify that the attached list is the one you are referring to.17:58
thedead1440It has files which are on merlin1991's server and are on maemo.org.  So those files should be deleted I believe before the list is forwarded to Nokia.17:58
thedead1440I think we are unlikely to get Harmattan files now but you can try I guess.17:58
thedead1440Rob17:58
freemangordonbut what will happen with Harmattan then?!?17:59
freemangordonthe fuck17:59
DocScrutinizer05sd69 honestly needs help with the technical implications of the migration18:05
DocScrutinizer05it's a tad unfortunate that probably neither side (board, nokia's lawyers) has full expertise about what maemo means and includes, on a technical level18:07
DocScrutinizer05neither for HARM18:07
DocScrutinizer05actually for HARM even I am basically clueless18:08
DocScrutinizer05council got qwazix though, who seems pretty active and up to date with harmattan details18:08
wirrShadowJK: I've found some more info about the troubling card: Allocation units are as big as 12M, Write Size is 64K and Page Size is 16K. This seems unusually high to me for an SDHC-card. Could this have any influence on the IO errors?18:10
*** landho has quit IRC18:12
*** landho has joined #maemo18:13
DocScrutinizer05anyway...18:14
DocScrutinizer05[general notice] autobuilder considered down according to read-only notice on top of any maemo.org page18:15
DocScrutinizer05please any of you following tmo closely, would you point your humble councilor [me] to any threads/posts relevant to council that I should notice (particularly those related to migration/backup). Thanks.18:17
ShadowJKwirr: yes, it could. Biggest AU I've seen so far is 8M. A 32g sandisk I recentlyish purchased is 4M18:22
ShadowJKthe max timeout is approx 2s iirc, read-mod-write of 12M is going to take 2 sec at class 6 speeds...18:23
ShadowJKor slightly more :)18:23
wirrShadowJK, I see... so this would mean ideally by optimizing alignment and fs options speeds _could_ be increased to stay below timeout?18:24
ShadowJKit'd mitigate it, I imagine18:24
*** thomasjfox has quit IRC18:25
wirrdo you know of any other configurable or hardcoded options which could be tweaked?18:25
*** XATRIX has quit IRC18:26
DocScrutinizer05is there a way to completely disable, or retrigger, the timeout?18:26
DocScrutinizer05also AIUI an allocation unit is a chunk of flash space that's supposed to get written in one operation? could we just ignore the 12M AU the card requests and go for smaller size?18:29
*** Guest38208 is now known as Smily18:31
*** sq-one has quit IRC18:33
ShadowJKAU is totally hidden from host18:40
ShadowJK(except on newer cards they do provide hint as to what optimal would be)18:40
ShadowJKAU, as i understand it, is smallest physically erasable block.18:41
wirryep18:42
ShadowJKwrite size 64k sounds like smallest writable block, where the destination must be erased, is 64k18:42
ShadowJKwhere destination must be already erased18:43
*** stardiviner has joined #maemo18:43
wirrShadowJK, I agree with that. do you know how i can configure the write size on linux?18:44
ShadowJKWell we don't have a filesystem that is flash aware18:45
Apicjffs rules18:45
ShadowJKbut maybe tinkering with the raid stripe/stride options in ext* and the ext* block size?18:45
ShadowJKjffs sucks in that it keeps all filesystem metadata in ram18:48
wirrI've already adjusted stripe/stride to page size18:48
wirrbut write size is 4 times page size... so this not possible without flash-aware fs?18:48
ShadowJKand has to scan entire device on mount18:49
ShadowJKnilfs2 might be more sensible, and some version of it seems to  be included in kp18:49
ShadowJKcan stripe/stride be adjusted to 64k?18:49

*** snx has joined #maemo18:51
ShadowJKI vaguely remember playing with this when I set up my adata card for my N80018:51
ShadowJKbut I forget the outcome :)18:52
*** snx has quit IRC18:55
ShadowJKwirr: does this card have a UHS logo on it too?18:57
wirrfirst test (using mass-storage! and kp52) gives approx 4.7MB/s18:57
wirrShadowJK, yep18:57
wirrway better than with default params18:57
ShadowJKwhat params did you change?18:59
ShadowJKUsing nr-requests tweak too?19:00
* ShadowJK is at work and not supposed to irc, so I might reply with great latency19:00
*** pvanhoof has joined #maemo19:01
*** tank-man has joined #maemo19:04
ShadowJKwould be very interesting to be able to read SD specs and see what they've changed over time19:04
wirrShadowJK, i've set nr_requests to 8192 using swappolube adjusted the partition layout to start with the first partition at 4megs (fat-optimized area from 4-12meg) and aligned all following partitions to 12meg boundaries (starting at 4, according to flashbench mailing list)19:04
wirradjusted fat & ext4 filesystems to page size19:05
*** Rantwolf has joined #maemo19:05
*** geaaru has quit IRC19:06
wirrShadowJK, i'm wondering if we should change default scheduler from cfq to noop (noop is ideal for ssd, but deadline, which is not available, would be better for sd, i think)19:07
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC19:08
ShadowJKOn N800 I only have noop, and keep wishing for cfq ;)19:13
wirrShadowJK, is that so?19:13
ShadowJKWell when I was researching this in maemo4 era last time (maemo5/n900 was such a huge improvement out of the box that I havent bothered much in that area), google searches found lots of eeepc users experimenting with this. Most users who tried noop came back saying "it's awesome" right after booting, then 15 minutes later started complaining about random apps or entire system mysterious stalling for tens of seconds at a time.. then they went back to cfq,19:16
ShadowJKwhich they deemed was "consistently fast, uh, consistently slow, but consistent"19:16
SkryI did test bfq some time ago, seemed to be better that cfq but I didn't benchmark it so might have been placebo19:17
Skrythan19:18
wirrokay19:19
ShadowJKThe fundamental issue is still that they're all flash-unaware.. some operations on flash will be essentially "free" while others will have a huge cost19:20
ShadowJKand all the schedulers more or less assume a harddrive, and cost is more or less a linear measure of how far away from last accessed block a potential disk access is19:21
wirrShadowJK, but I think there's some development going on in that area, i think it's called 'fios'19:22
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo19:23
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer05 / SpeedEvil ; do you know if sd cards have internal oscillators or if they rely on host provided CLK? UHS cards running at really low speeds in SDHC hosts could be due to that too..19:24
Skryiirc bfq has at least some ssd optimizations too19:25
ShadowJKSSDs, flash, and HD are all 3 distinct19:26
ShadowJKssd optimization might hurt flash more than HD optimization19:26
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: sorry, no info here19:30
ShadowJKAfaict, the omap hsmmc hw's data timeout is specified in clock cycles, if we could drop hsmmc bus speed, the timeout would become longer.. but if card runs off of hsmmc clock, it'd run correspondingly slower too and it wouldn't change the situation :/19:31
*** shanttu has quit IRC19:31
* ShadowJK wonders if mmc clockspeed is related to cpu speed too, on N8x0 it was19:31
freemangordonon n900 too19:32
freemangordonthat's why cpu is locked 2 min 500 with USB connected19:32
Apic2 min 500?19:32
freemangordon@ min 500 MHz, sorry, typo19:33
Apicic, now I get it19:33
ShadowJKfreemangordon; can you tell what speeds mmc runs at with cpu @ 250, 500, 550, 600, 600+?19:34
freemangordonShadowJK: though not to VDD1 OPP but to VDD2 OPP19:34
freemangordonShadowJK: ^^^19:34
keriohold on, so setting the cpu to 500 or 600 would speed up the I/O? neat19:35
freemangordoncan't remember what were VDD2 freqs19:35
*** pablocastellanos has joined #maemo19:36
freemangordonkerio: no. you should tweak VDD2 frequency, CPU @ 500 or 600 does not make much of a difference19:36
freemangordonShadowJK: can't remember at what speed mmc is clocked, but it is on the top limit19:38
wirrfreemangordon, pali: would one of you be willing to compile an mmc module for power52 with timeout set to 7 or 13?19:39
SpeedEvilShadowJK: from memory, external clock19:40
freemangordonwirr: iirc it is set to 13 or 14 right now19:40
ShadowJKYeah it's 14 in powerkernel19:40
wirrfreemangordon, 14...19:41
freemangordonand that's the highes allowed value afaik19:41
wirrfreemangordon, yeah but strangely the card works fine on stock pr1.319:41
freemangordonI see19:41
* ShadowJK wonders why the number 15 is reserved19:41
