While running the ltp over the powerpc with the 2.6.26-rc1-git4 kernel, task get blocked for more 120 seconds and does not proceeds future.

The task msgctl08 is a ipc testcase, which test the msgget(2) msgctl(2) syscalls.

Thanks for your report.

I assume this is reproducible?

If yes, what was the last kernel that worked for you?

I've also added Pierre Peiffer and Nadia Derbey to the Cc since their recent ipc commits are my first suspects.

While running the ltp over the powerpc with the 2.6.26-rc1-git4 kernel, task get blocked for more 120 seconds and does not proceeds future.

The task msgctl08 is a ipc testcase, which test the msgget(2) msgctl(2) syscalls.

Thanks for your report.

I assume this is reproducible?

If yes, what was the last kernel that worked for you?

This is reproducible on 2.6.26-rc1 and 2.6.26-rc1-git(s). 2.6.25 is the last know kernel to work.

Kamalesh,

I'm wondering whether this is not related to a problem found in LTP after msgmni had been changed from 16 to a computed value.

Does your ltp test suite contain the patch I had sent in thread http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/21/123?

If you want to have a look at it, discussion started in thread http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/16/6

Hi Nadia,
Thanks, I am using the LTP-20080430 and tried it with the 2.6.26-rc2-git4 kernel. but the call trace remains the same.

Ok, I'll try to find a ppc machine: could not reproduce it on my Xeon machine (but actually it was with a 2.6.26-rc1 kernel).

Regards,
Nadia

While running the ltp over the powerpc with the 2.6.26-rc1-git4 kernel, task get blocked for more 120 seconds and does not proceeds future.

The task msgctl08 is a ipc testcase, which test the msgget(2) msgctl(2) syscalls.

Thanks for your report.

I assume this is reproducible?

If yes, what was the last kernel that worked for you?

This is reproducible on 2.6.26-rc1 and 2.6.26-rc1-git(s). 2.6.25 is the last know kernel to work.

I've also added Pierre Peiffer and Nadia Derbey to the Cc since their recent ipc commits are my first suspects.

Kamalesh,

I'm wondering whether this is not related to a problem found in LTP after msgmni had been changed from 16 to a computed value.

Does your ltp test suite contain the patch I had sent in thread
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/21/123?

If you want to have a look at it, discussion started in thread
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/16/6

Hi Nadia,
Thanks, I am using the LTP-20080430 and tried it with the 2.6.26-rc2-git4 kernel. but the call trace remains the same.

Quoted 6 lines

Ok, I'll try to find a ppc machine: could not reproduce it on my Xeon machine (but actually it was with a 2.6.26-rc1 kernel).

Regards,
Nadia

Hi Nadia,

The kernel tested with the LTP-20080430 version of LTP, does not produce the call trace. Sorry my fault on problem with the test setup at my end. I have updated the same in the morning http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/19/32.

While running the ltp over the powerpc with the 2.6.26-rc1-git4 kernel, task get blocked for more 120 seconds and does not proceeds future.

The task msgctl08 is a ipc testcase, which test the msgget(2) msgctl(2) syscalls.

Thanks for your report.

I assume this is reproducible?

If yes, what was the last kernel that worked for you?

This is reproducible on 2.6.26-rc1 and 2.6.26-rc1-git(s). 2.6.25 is the last know kernel to work.

I've also added Pierre Peiffer and Nadia Derbey to the Cc since their recent ipc commits are my first suspects.

Hi Nadia,
Thanks, I am using the LTP-20080430 and tried it with the 2.6.26-rc2-git4 kernel. but the call trace remains the same.

Quoted 5 lines

Ok, I'll try to find a ppc machine: could not reproduce it on my Xeon machine (but actually it was with a 2.6.26-rc1 kernel).

Kamalesh,

I could find a ppc victim, and ... could not reproduce the problem.

Attached is the output I got.
