Description Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-11 10:22:00 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux i686; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build Identifier: 

I run rawhide nodebug kernels on f24 on a couple of machines. The desktop works normally, but the laptop can't complete booting on recent rawhide nodebug kernels because when I try to enter the disk luks password nothing gets echo'd and enter doesn't have any affect. kernel-PAE-core-4.8.0-0.rc0.git2.2.fc26.i686 works, kernel-PAE-core-4.8.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc26.i686 and kernel-PAE-core-4.8.0-0.rc1.git1.2.fc26.i686 don't.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-12 11:35:45 UTC 
kernel-PAE-core-4.8.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc26.i686 works. A vanilla upstream kernel as of yesterday, didn't. I'll try bisecting between 4.8.0-0.rc0.git7 and rc1. The way these normally go there will probably be an upstream fix before I finish the bisect. (4.8.0-0.rc1.git3.2.fc26 didn't work either.)

Comment 3 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-15 08:14:28 UTC 
I tested reverting 4097461897df91041382ff6fcd2bfa7ee6b2448c from a more recent upstream kernel (118253a593bd1c57de2d1193df1ccffe1abe745b) and the keyboard worked. I'm going to test 118253a593bd1c57de2d1193df1ccffe1abe745b to try to confirm this wasn't fix upstream in a different way recently.

Comment 5 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-15 09:02:15 UTC 
My keyboard doesn't work with 118253a593bd1c57de2d1193df1ccffe1abe745b, so it looks like 4097461897df91041382ff6fcd2bfa7ee6b2448c is the problem. I'll report this upstream later today.
Comment 6 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-15 14:20:41 UTC 
I have filed https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153151 upstream and probably we can handle this through that bug. If I don't get any response from that bug, I'll try contacting one or two of the kernel lists.
Comment 7 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-16 12:49:40 UTC 
I have gotten a response from upstream, but so far the suggested fixes haven't helped.
Comment 8 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-17 11:54:48 UTC 
So it turns out my initial "help" was from a clueless kernel groupie, but eventually the person who authored the problem commit showed up and provided a patch that fixed my issue. So I expect that fix will be showing up in Linus' tree in the next few days.
Comment 9 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-17 18:40:43 UTC 
The upstream bug is now closed "code fix" and the fix will be sent to Linus.
Comment 10 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-22 00:20:35 UTC 
The patch is now in Dmitry Torokhov's tree, but didn't make rc3. Dmitry also gave Greg a heads up and pointer to the fix, since the problem commit had been queued for stable. I don't know if they are going to get delayed or not, but both should go in at the same time.
Comment 11 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-22 16:09:36 UTC 
The fix is at:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git/commit/?h=for-linus&id=47af45d684b5f3ae000ad448db02ce4f13f73273
Which is in Dmitry's for-linus branch.
Comment 12 Geoffrey Marr 2016-08-22 21:52:36 UTC 
Discussed during the 2016-08-22 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this as an Alpha AcceptedFreezeException was made as the bug itself is rather serious while the fix is fairly small. For this reason, this bug is being classified as an AcceptedFreezeException.

Comment 13 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-25 19:33:51 UTC 
Dmitry has submitted a pull request to Linus for the fix: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/25/512
Comment 14 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-27 05:09:23 UTC 
The fix is in Linus' tree and should be picked up when you build an rc4 kernel on Monday.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=47af45d684b5f3ae000ad448db02ce4f13f73273
Comment 15 Bruno Wolff III 2016-08-29 00:19:30 UTC 
I missed that this got pulled in as a one off fix in advance of getting into Linus' tree. The fix did make into alpha (at least the games spin) and fixes the problem.
Comment 16 Kamil Páral 2016-08-29 06:55:27 UTC 
OK, if it made into Alpha (Games Lab should have the same kernel as everything else), let's close this and remove the common bug.
