Dear RT folks!


Gentlemen, let's have a month of stress testing! Divide tasks
testing subsystem: USB, NET, MM, ACPI, AUDIO, VIDEO By CPUs:
ARM/PPC/X86/X86_64...

Purely on observations noted that in September 2013, the quality
and stability of the code has deteriorated dramatically.

By September 2k13, do you mean a specific v3.10-RT release?


Any after 3.2.x-rt

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but:

1) All kernels (3.2, 3.8, 3.12, 3.13,...) are working normally without patches;

2) 3.2 works fine in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_BASE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL modes;

3) 3.10 not works at all, even without -RT patches;

Please report the problems here to LKML (linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
to the appropriate maintainers. As well as the stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
mailing list.


4) 3.12 work only as CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_BASE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL in
uniprocessor mode (maxcpus=0, nosmp). Newer patches (Oct.-Dec.) did not work,
even in RT_BASE mode.

Does 3.12 work without the -rt patches?


Varia hardware: One Opteron 285, 2-cpus (4 cores). Six Intel Atoms devices
kernels compiled as x86_32.

I have an intel atom dev board hanging around somewhere. I'll see if I
can test this. Can you send me your config privately.
I can offer help as well. And I am most curious to learn what prevents your systems from booting. Please send me your config as well - I'll run (or at least try to run) it on a couple of spare farm systems.

-Carsten.
