In addition to RH 5, one our mutual customers sees this problem on FC 5. So, it would be very important to have this fixed in FC as well. They are planning on moving to FC 8 soon. update: just letting you know ... the bug is under attention, I'm still investigating. I was not able to get the time, mentioned by Seppo, for './strace_gdb_run.sh'. 20 seconds is absolute record for me. I'm seeing that ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, ... ) takes too long from time to time. Obviously, we have race condition, unfortunately I was not able to identify it yet. The problem is much, much more visible with nosmp option passed to kernel. Created attachment 325373 [details]

sysrq-t output for related tasks, at the moment when race condition happen.
collected w/ nosmp option.
CLOSED as WONTFIX due to way too much efforts required, incomparable with bug implication. With change of the user-visible behaviour. |
