Could you try the attached patch against a 3.4.y kernel? It works like this:0. prerequisites: apt-get install git build-essential 1. get the kernel history, if you don't already have it: git clone \ https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 2. grab point releases: cd linux git remote add stable \ https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable git fetch stable 3. configure, build, test: git checkout stable/linux-3.4.y cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root reboot ... test test test ... Hopefully it reproduces the bug. So
I followed the above instructions, though I did a 'git checkout v3.4.4' instead of 'git checkout stable/linux-3.4.y'. This produced a linux-image-3.4.4_3.4.4-1_amd64.deb file that I installed.
This kernel failed in the same manner, as we hoped.
4. try the patch: cd linux git cherry-pick -x -s 9a0f938bde74bf9e50bd75c8de9e38c1787398cd make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4 dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root reboot ... test test test ...
I ran the 'cherry-pick' command, and redid the "make deb-pkg" and "dpkg -i" steps. When I rebooted onto that kernel it worked fine. So it seems this patch fixes the 3.4.4 kernel.
What git invocation should I do to test a debian Wheezy kernel? (on Monday morning, as I'm leaving the office now).
