It's a userspace program. If a userspace program (running as
non-root) can cause a kernel error, then it's a kernel bug.
Or a hardware bug.
Btw. I tried reproducing the IPI TLB timeout on my system, the way
I could usually reliably trigger it (by copying a few GB from one
RAID to another while doing CPU intensive stuff), and failed.
This was with 2.2.13pre16. I could reliably trigger it under 2.2.7
(AFAIR).
I guess either:
1) something that used to trigger the bug in the kernel went away
2) my hardware repaired itself.
3) it's pretty cold here now, compared to when it was summer. Maybe
I could only trigger the bug when it was summer, I'm not sure.
Just for the sake of the experiment, I'll boot 2.2.7 again, and see if
I can trigger the bug there. Hang on :)
Can the bug be triggered with Kaffe on 2.2.13pre16 ?? That would be
pretty interesting to know...
