Greetings,
I've been seeing $subject, decided to take the time to try to bisect
the little bugger. The hangs are not 100% repeatable, and while
bisection with a 5 boot go/nogo threshold seemed to go smoothly, it
ended up fingering a merge commit (sigh).
Box has an SSD (unused only by windows 10 box came with) and 3 spinning
rust buckets that I normally use with BFQ via a udev rule, but CFQ does
the same, so scheduler is seemingly irrelevant. However, in 7 crash
dumps, all of which look about like the data below the bisect log,
there is something relevant, namely the hung 'tlp' task (powersaving
script of some sort for laptops according to the package description).
That knob twiddling script is present/hung in all, making me a tad
suspicious, and indeed, testing with the final (bad) kernel, all I have
to do to eliminate hangs is to remove the 'tlp' package. Verified via
remove, 5 boots work fine, reinstall, 2 of 5 hang, remove again, 10 of
10 work fine, reinstall, 2 in a row hang.
Seems pretty certain that tlp script is what inspires bug to raise its
ugly head. WRT bisection result itself, munged merge seems far less
likely than a false negative having knocked bisection off course.
