Hi,
my qemu testis of mips images are failing in -next. Symptom is a hang during
boot; see http://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-mips-next for some examples.
I bisected the problem in next-20170526. It points to commit 4d6501dce079c
("kthread: Fix use-after-free if kthread fork fails"). Reverting that patch
fixes the problem.
Bisect log is attached.
Hi,
Thanks for the report and sorry for the breakage :-/
I can't immediately spot what's going wrong, but I am able to reproduce
it on mips so I will try to debug.
Are you sure it's this commit, though? I checked out linus/master and
I get a boot hang even after reverting it.
