Hi Mel, all,
My kernel on qemu/arm64 setup hangs at early boot since v5.0-rc1.
Backtrace is not too verbose:
(gdb) i threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 1 (CPU#0 [running]) 0xffff000010a49b74 in __delay (cycles=4096)
at arch/arm64/lib/delay.c:49
2 Thread 2 (CPU#1 [halted ]) 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
3 Thread 3 (CPU#2 [halted ]) 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
4 Thread 4 (CPU#3 [halted ]) 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0xffff000010a49b74 in __delay (cycles=4096) at arch/arm64/lib/delay.c:49
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
Reverting the patch
1c30844d2dfe272d58c ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external
fragmentation event occurs") together with following patch
73444bc4d8f92e46a20 ("mm, page_alloc: do not wake kswapd with zone lock held")
helps me to boot normally.
Some system information is below, and config is attached.
Thanks,
Yury
