Hi Steve,
Is this the performance regression tests which get run on 2.5 kernels?
I have seen the results, never a comment about hangs before.
Unfortunately, we have been somewhat tied up with 2.4 things and
2.5 is not getting as much air time - and kdb does not work which
makes debugging much more interesting. Let me try it out and see
what happens, and details about the setup you see this in would
be appreciated. We also have a bunch of code with fixes here we need
to sync to Linus, it is always possible you are hitting one of
those, did you ever try pulling from the cvs tree on oss.sgi.com?
The xfs in there is more upto date, if that makes the problem
go away, then I need to get an update to Linus sooner rather than
later.
Thanks
Steve
