We are running nightly tests suite that exercises new kernel and one of the tests is libhugetlbfs. We are plugging in into standard libhugetlbfs using libhugetlbfs-2.0.tar.gz. We have seen lately intermittent problems where the suite will just hang somewhere in the middle of$ make check OBJDIRS=obj64 ... linkhuge_rw (Note that we don't really know much about that test, we just picked it up as part of regression suite) After checking the libhugetlbfs site it turns out latest library is libhugetlbfs-2.14, so we picked it up and attempted to run tests based on that. But on 64 bits this fails as well: $ make check OBJDIRS=obj64 LD64 (lib test) obj64/huge_below_4GB_normal_above CC32 obj32/shmoverride_linked.o stderr: /usr/bin/ld: warning: zero_filesize_segment.ld contains output sections; did you forget -T?

Anybody can help or shed any light on this? Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Is that test bogus?
No, it's not. We just have not been executing it regularly, one thing that I do want to change in the near future on our next regression suite. Seems like maintenance is required here:
1) Verify whether those tests were incorporated by another large suite, such as LTP, and being maintained there. 2) If people are maintaining the tests elsewhere, we'll use the source from that place, and update the wrapper, or eventually drop this wrapper in favor of running the larger suite. 3) If no one is maintaining this code and it wasn't assimilated by a larger suite, it makes sense to debug the failures and start fixing them, and create our own fork hosted on autotest's github area.
I'll be happy to help with all that.
