Hi all,

I noticed that after "um: enable VMAP_STACK" [1] I experienced some
occasional hung in my Gitlab CI jobs that use user-mode-linux to build
distro images.

Did you actually *enable* VMAP_STACK in the config as well? The commit
just makes it *possible* to enable it, you still have to set it
yourself. So you should be able to easily check with/without that
setting.

Thank you for your quick response. The Debian configuration on package user-mode-linux have these settings

CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK=y
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y


as you can see in [1]. I did run some tests disabling those settings, which passed without any hung.

Unfortunately the "occasional" behavior makes this issue a bit tricky to debug.

Regards,

Walter

Just to narrow things down - 64 bit or 32 bit?

Thank you for commenting on this thread. All my tests were done with 64 bits.
