The thing to do now is to collect solid data for a proper bug report. How to reproduce etc. See REPORTING-BUGS. For a guy interested in kernel hacking, this is the perfect opportunity to sink your teeth into a bug that you can reproduce on your box. If you go there... You could use perf sched record/lat and/or ftrace to trace/identify the event, analyze what's going on in the kernel while the bad thing is happening. If you manage to get the root cause properly nailed down, you will have dug out highly useful information. Um, don't be surprised and appalled if you find that you're not up to fixing this. A more realistic goal is to capture some high quality information, and learn how to use the tools to _chase_ bugs. Once you get a firm grip on a bug, you can always holler "Help, it's got me!" if it's a serious bug. -Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
