Patch:
Fixes a problem with floppy driver
State:
Supersedes patch OSF440-366 (417.00)
Compaq has determined
in laboratory testing that there is a theoretical possibility that during
read and write operations to the floppy disk on DS10, DS10L and ES40 AlphaServers
and VS10 and XP900 AlphaStations, a single byte of data may be inaccurately
read or written without notice to the user or system.
The potential for this
anomaly exists only if floppy data read and write operations are attempted
while there is extremely heavy traffic on these Alpha systems' internal input/output
busses.
Although Compaq has observed the anomaly only in laboratory tests
designed to create atypical system stresses, including almost constant use
of the floppy disk drive, we are supplying this patch to address this potential
issue. |

This patch corrects the following:
Fixes a kernel problem where proper locking/reference count
management was not being performed.
This could result in a "lock-terminate:
lock held" system panic.
Fixes invalid malloc message in mfs.
Fixes a problem with the newfs command.
When the newfs -N
command was run on a mounted file system, it returned an error message similar
to the following:
newfs: /dev/rrz0c: is marked in the disklabel as in use by: 4.2BSD
Fixes a problem where a system panic will occur when accessing
an ISO9660 format CD-ROM.
Fixes a problem with CDFS.
Data corruption occurs when reading
beyond the end of a partition.
Fixes a problem in which the system may memory fault if the
TCR/ASE server no longer had access to the CD-ROM device.
Fixes a problem where the system can panic with the panic
string "secsize_resid < d_reclen" when accessing a defective CD-ROM.
Fixes a problem with CDFS.
Fatal errors occur when trying
to load data from a CDFS CD-ROM over NFS.
Fixes a panic seen when accessing the kio subsystem (such
as with consvar) with improper arguments.
The panic was caused by a kernel
double-free, and would most likely be seen as a corruption in either the
64- or 96-byte bucket (buckets 2 and 16).
Fixes a problem where process accounting data was not written
to the accounting file when it was on an NFS-mounted file system.
Corrects a "simple_lock: time limit exceeded" panic in softclock_scan().
Fixes a kernel memory fault from socket code.
The kernel
memory fault results from failing to get a lock on a list of threads that
have requested resources on a socket.
Corrects a problem where a signal is delivered, but not responded
to, by the target process.
Fixes a panic of "get_color_bucket: empty buckets" when the
sysconfig attribute "private-cache-percent" is non-zero.
A potential security vulnerability has been discovered where,
under certain circumstances, users may gain unauthorized access.
Compaq
has corrected this potential vulnerability.
Fixes a problem with the mount command where it sometimes
kills other processes.
Fixes a problem where process accounting data was not written
to the accounting file when the accounting file was on an NFS-mounted file
system.
Fixes problems with loadable drivers indicated by a maximum
device number, lack of device number 0, or failure to reconfigure or reload
a driver.
Removes a Granularity Hint Regions (also called GH chunks)
restriction which may be encountered on AlphaServer DS20 and ES40 systems
running the Tru64 UNIX V4.0F release.
This restriction can reduce performance
for certain database applications.

the resource limitation on core files does not work as documented.
Fixes a problem where the system can panic with the following
console message:
bs_bf_htop: invalid handle\n N1 = 0
Fixes a system pause seen when doing a lot of I/O to UFS filesystems.
Fixes a problem that causes system panics when thread_swappable
is called with the current_thread as the target thread, when the thread is
about to be swapped out.
This work provides functionality to allow detecting unlinked

OSF440-333 (386.00), OSF440-485 (538.00), OSF440-452 (540.00)
This patch corrects the following:
When printing jobs, a timeout can occur after five minutes
which causes some large print jobs to stop, then resume printing from
the beginning of the print job.
When slave lpd daemons try to process jobs on the print queue,
some of them can fail to obtain a lock on the lock file, and exit with
an error.
Print jobs will print out twice.
A remote print job may fail to print, with the error message:
lstat/open failed for dfA... no such file or directory
If a print job is printing, and the connection to the remote
printer is lost, the print job does not resume printing after the connection
is restored.
Sometimes, as sequence numbers wrap around from 999 to 000,
job 000 gets submitted before, and prints before, job 999.
lpstat -u output is incorrect.
When using the I18N ya option, the queue daemon filters will
terminate after 32 jobs.
Under certain circumstances, print jobs are terminated when
printing to certain printers that are connected to a DECserver through
TCP/IP.
When lpd reads any data from the printer that has not been
read, for local and remote connections, the read-backs for remote connections
cause an additional 2-second time out which may cause a job-submit
failure on the job-number wraparound.
Corrects a problem in which, under certain conditions, unnecessary
error messages are written to the lpr.log file.
A user is unable to delete a print job from a remote system
with a hostname greater than 32 characters because the hostname was truncated.
When a TCP/IP connection fails, the retry algorithm would
take longer to print jobs due to a long retry interval.
A timing hole during lpd last-job completion and shutdown
needed to be closed.
It was not possible to print to the lpd queue using Windows
2000.
Introduces the JJ /etc/printcap parameter, which allows the
user to choose either one TCP/IP connection for all jobs in the print queue
(JJ=1), or a TCP/IP connection for each job in the print queue (JJ=0).
It
also closes a timing hole that existed when lpd was shutting down.
Fixes a problem in which lpd hangs when printing to advanced
server queues (using /dev/null).

Patch:
Incorrect heartbeat timer in memory channel driver
State:
Supersedes patches OSF440-118 (94.00), OSF440-403 (451.00)
This patch corrects the following:
Fixes an incorrect heartbeat timer within the memory channel
driver which caused rail failures to be incorrectly reported on memory channel
Version 2 cards.
With the heartbeat timer set too short, the system can be
erroneously led to believe a hardware failure has occurred.
Messages of the
form "rmerror_int: ..." are output to the messages file containing an error_type
which has bit 29 set in error_type (heartbeat timeout).
The binary error
log will also have this data.
Typically, the error_type data will be 0xe00000000.
The messages are followed by the system hanging or panicing.
When panicking,
the following message is produced:
panic (cpu 0): rm_failover_if_necessary, both rails bad
A real hardware failure produces the same symptoms and stack trace.
For example, having an error_type of 0xe00000002 indicates a write transmit
hardware fatal failure.
Fixes a problem where an MC1 or 1.5 will not configure with
an ev6 8x00.
It also improves error handling with MC 2 in a Virtual Hub.
Fixes a problem in the memory channel driver which could result
in panics with rm - inconsistent local spinlock structures being logged.

This patch corrects the following:
The command was slow to complete when a partial restore
operation was requested.
The command failed to ignore extended attribute records
for the files which were not requested for a vrestore operation.
Fixes problem with vrestore where vrestore fails to restore
certain files and directories having ACLs from a compressed vdump saveset,
reporting:
vrestore: error setting extended attributes 22
A previous patch caused incomplete restores.
A warning message is displayed when the path for the first
file in a group of hardlinks is created without using original protection
codes and property lists.
A warning message is displayed and vrestore aborts if it fails
to malloc space for a property list.
A message which had been inserted at the end of the message
file had the wrong message category (could cause messaging confusion).
An uninitialized variable in the code that restores property
lists could cause malloc failures, memory faults, "error setting extended
attributes", and infinite loops using the -l option.
Corrupted property list information could cause an infinite
loop.
Fixes a problem where the vdump program would dump core with
the following message:
nnnn Resources lost(coredump)
Fixes a problem where the vdump command will sometimes store
symbolic link files as directories in the vdump archive.
Fixes the following problems with the vdump command:
Fixes a problem where the vdump command will sometimes store
symbolic link files as directories in the vdump archive.
Failed to flag compressed extended attributes records that
are split across a vdump BLOCK boundary.
Overrides the -D option when source path describes a root
fileset Note: If you want to backup quota files, you must not use the -D
option.
Corrects "Rewinding" message to avoid a segfault with Internationalized
messages.
Fixes the following problems with the vrestore command:
Fails to properly handle extended attributes records in compressed
archives.
This results in malloc failures, proplist inconsistencies, program
abort, program crashes due to segfault or invalid memory access, and the
display of the error message "error setting extended attributes".
Fails to set extended attributes due to confusion over selective
restore of the file or directory associated.
Also results in the display
of the error message "error setting extended attributes".

Patch 674.00
continued

Selective restore of hardlinked files is incomplete when they
exist in different directories (fails to create directory for second occurrence
of file with same inode number).
The -Q option is added to vrestore to allow the user to request
ignoring the quota files (thus avoiding the time it takes to process them).

Patch:
Fixes simple lock timeout on EV6 systems
State:
Supersedes patches OSF440-062 (56.00), OSF440-119 (95.00),
OSF440-129 (103.00), OSF440-072 (151.00), OSF440-235 (274.00), OSF440-386
(436.00), OSF440-561 (714.00)
This patch corrects the following:
Fixes a problem in which a system with a KZPCA host bus adapter
may hang when the SCSI bus is reset.
Excessive I/O command timeouts when using KZPCM on CLIPPERs
causing disk I/O to be retried and fatal tape I/O errors.
Additionally the
ITPSA driver now supports the KZPCM, 8951U, and 8952U adapters.
Support has
also been added to identify hardware in the event log.
Fixes the following problems related to the ITPSA driver that
supports the KZPCM adapter:
A panic, machine check, or hang can occur when aborting an
I/O due to a command timeout or aborting an application program with pending
I/Os.
Errors can occur while the system is processing a SCSI bus
or SCSI bus device reset request that is issued from the class driver.
On the 8951U and 8952U adapters, SCSI bus resets are lost
when these adapters are connected to single-ended drives.
A panic can occur during boot when lockmode is set to 4.
Fixes a problem with the ITPSA driver for KZPCM and KZPCA
devices, which resulted in a synchronization problem, causing the SCSI bus
to hang.
Fixes the following ITPSA driver problems:
The chip interrupt register fields in error log are incorrect.
Lessens the opportunity of aborts being issued for an already
completed I/O.
A kernel memory fault panic caused by a SWS data structure
being released twice.
A simple lock timeout panic.
It was possible for a bus reset
to be generated before the previous bus reset was processed, causing
excessive processing within the ISR.
The driver negotiated for ULTRA2 speed when it was
attached to a single-ended bus.
The system will panic in itpsa_allocReq() on boot when
lockmode=4 is set.
Fixes a problem with some slower tape devices serviced by
the ITPSA driver by lengthening the timeout value used.
Fixes a problem that can cause a simple lock timeout or a
kernel memory fault on EV6 systems using the ITPSA driver.
