That depends. Early on in the rc series, I don't rebase for testing. Later on in the rc series, I do. However, that's all moot because it isn't why I didn't see this in the 4.2 rc series. I only have one machine with > 32 CPUs, and it's intended to be a highly reliable/stable machine. I don't always use it for testing new kernels. In this particular case, I needed to move it from a RHEL kernel to an upstream kernel to isolate a different issue, and hence I ran across this problem. My more common test machines would have never seen the issue I reported. -- Doug Ledford <[email protected]> GPG KeyID: 0E572FDD
