[Bug 1246664] Re: "Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 515067"

 

I tested Mélodie's system in a Toshiba with an Intel i5 processor according to the attached file "submission.xml".
zram was active (without any tweaks by me).

I did not install any multimedia package (only used what comes with
Bento).

Long ago I made some ogg files from an audio CD, and I can play them
with Xnoise in Bento. Maybe your ogg files were not quite according to
the specification.

Xnoise works also with video clips with two containers and three codecs
that I tested. (Obviously I cannot test every container and codec.)

mp4, and wmv containers
ffodivx, ffh264 and ffwmv3 codecs

I could run the suggested tasks in checkbox-gtk (and could answer 'yes',
things work 

And in general, so far it works with both

Linux bentotest 3.8.0-33-generic and
Linux bentotest 3.2.0-57-generic-pae

Title:
  "Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 515067"

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Commit 12a7ad3 "zram: avoid access beyond the zram device" introduced
  a regression where valid_io_request() checks if request end coincides
  with disksize (end equals bound).  It fails if we attempt to read
  beyond the bound.

  Impact:

  Several errors will be logged if, for example, zram-config is
  installed:

  [ 14.666280] zram: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
  [ 14.667040] zram: Creating 1 devices ...
  [ 14.830355] Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 62411
  [ 14.830375] Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 62411
  [ 14.830598] Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 62411
  [ 14.830621] Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 62411
  [ 14.878597] Adding 249644k swap on /dev/zram0. Priority:5 extents:1 across:249644k SS

  Fix:

  Commit 75c7caf5a052ffd8db3312fa7864ee2d142890c4 "zram: allow request
  end to coincide with disksize" fixes the issue by correcting the test
  in valid_io_request() function.

  Testcase:

  I was able to reproduce the issue by simply installing zram-config in
  a precise box.

  =========================================================================================

  This is a duplicate of #1217189, but for some reason neither @oibaf
  nor me can reopen it. It is in "fix released" state, but the problem
  is at most partially solved. It seems that the bug no longer causes
  lockups (described in another bug: #1215513), but is still present (as
  I get error messages on boot screen and after $ dmesg | grep zram).

  If someone has enough privileges to reopen 1217189 for "linux
  (ubuntu)" (I don't know about raring, but no one complains, so it is
  probably ok), and remove this bug (maybe merging this message to the
  comments in 1217189), I would be really grateful.

  Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
  Kernel Linux 3.2.0-56-generic-pae (the problem was first observed in 53 and since 54 there are no lockups).
