A new kernel for oxnas

Postby navym » Tue Sep 24, 2013 3:20 am

I am learning kernel hacking recenly.
And in the progress, porting latest linux kernel (v3.11.1) & u-boot (2013.07) to pogoplug v3,
I have tried hard to fit all existing code into latest framework, to make it maintainable.
And dropped some messy code if better alternative available (GMAC => STMMAC)
It is not thoroughly tested, but works reasonably stable.

Is anyone willing to work with me test and stablize it, and finally make it available to the community?

Below is the bootlog

That's great. Glad to see someone working on support for these devices. Unfortunately I don't own one of these, so I can't help you much but I am sure someone will. Are there any problems that you might have notcied. I know WarheadsSE was working on 3.1 kernel and didn't get it to work reliably. Also It would be nice if you put the sources to something like github for others to contribute. Cheers

Have you gotten around the sata performance bottleneck due to SRAM vs DMA paging?

I think sata performance issue is because of the high overhead of mainstream kernel's dma cache coherence operation for arm11mpcore.
Switch to broadcast cache operation like PLX's kernel should allivate it.

oprofile seems confirm my guess, v6_dma_inv_range consumes a lot of cycles

to further confirm this, we could
turn off CONFIG_DMA_CACHE_RWFO and add boot parameter maxcpus=1
see if disk performance improves

In my case, I do not see any performance difference, because I use an old GEN1 sata disk,
seems it becomes the bottleneck, maybe need a faster disk to see the difference

I will do some SATA and USB throughput tests with your kernel next time. We can compare it to the results from a 850 MHz overclocked Pogoplug Pro with the 2.6.31.6 kernel which can be found in the following post: http://pogoplug.cwsurf.de/forum/viewtop ... 4&t=13#p74.

Very interesting!
Great that someone gives it a shot again with the newer kernel sources and OXNAS.

Unfortunately I lack(ed) the knowledge to do a proper rewrite of the 3.1.xx kernel sources for OXNAS.
Because of the SATA and USB performance problems, I personally came up with this:
https://github.com/ingmar-k/2.6.31.14_OXNAS_kernel

Works with Debian wheezy perfectly fine, and the SATA and USB performance seem to be OK, too.
So, for the purpose of comparison you could use it for performance tuning of the new kernel. ;)

I personally am quite excited to see how this "new" 3.1.11 kernel for OXNAS turns out.

@navym:

Can you please provide your kernel configuration file (.config) for this kernel? If such configuration file is also necessary for uboot it would be nice to provide such file as well. I want to test with more or less the same uboot and kernel like you.
