Hi! Here is my second regression report for Linux 4.8. It lists 11 regressions. 5 of them are new; 5 mentioned in the last report two weeks ago got fixed.
FWIW: A small detail: I did not include "Regression - SATA disks behind USB ones on v4.8-rc1, breaking boot. [Re: Who reordered my disks]" (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg144871.html ) in below list report. The discussion mentions that device names like /dev/sd? are not considered stable as they might change depending on various factors -- like the order in which modules are loaded or other timing issues (like in this case). That is how it is afaik (even if it's not well known), and that's why I didn't include the issue; let me know if you think it should be on the list. OTOH I included "Commit cb4f71c429 deliberately changes order of network interfaces" (http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2325600.html ) for now, as I think traditional network interface names (eth0, eth1, ...) might be considered stable -- but I'm not sure, that's why I raise it here. Anyway, you know the drill: Are you aware of any other regressions? Then please let me know. And tell me if there is anything in the report that shouldn't be there. Ciao, Thorsten P.S.: Thanks to all those that Aaro Koskinen, Hans de Goede, Pavel Machek for CCing me when reporting regressions. Much appreciated! Ohh, and thx to all those that replied when I asked them for status updates when things look stuck. P.P.S: Sorry, I did not manage to compile a report last weekend. I visited a FLOSS conference and there got hit by a flu that slowed be down all week :-/ That's why there won't be a regression report for 4.7. I'll be travelling again next weekend, so there won't be a regression report next Sunday :-/ == Current regressions == Desc: irqdomain: Don't set type when mapping an IRQ breaks nexus7 gpio buttons Repo: 2016-07-30 https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=146985356305280&w=2 Stat: 2016-08-12 https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147093069326172&w=2 Note: fix found two weeks ago, not in mainline afaics; waiting for tglx to get back?
