This "dead at boot time" issue is impacting the general ability to test
patches against latest -git in time for the current merge window.
In the meantime, does the patch I sent out help people? I'd like to
get feedback, but I'm a lazy bum, and don't use DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
myself, so I was hoping that people who actually see this could
comment on my untested suggestion.
Oh.. so this bug is supposed to only bite with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y ??
Then something else is broken, perhaps. I just saw a long traceback
scroll off the top of the screen, with lots of bio_* functions in the list
and assumed it was the same bug.
Mmm.. I'll get out the camera and try it again now..
I'm currently bisecting on two machines (sata_mv and sata_nv). sata_mv
suddenly started spewing errors in recent kernels, but kernels from ~48
hours ago are just fine. AMD64 sata_nv machine will simply lock up if I
push it too hard. Again, reproducible, and kernels from ~48 hours ago
are fine.
AHCI machine so far seems fine (kernel ~24 hours ago), storage-wise, but
the hda_intel audio decided to stop working :)
I'm quite happy to test patches, but I never run with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC so
that shouldn't be causing the problems here.
