Bug#864453: fanotify07 LTP testcase hangs process
Package: linux
Version: 4.9.30
The LTP testcase fanotify07 creates hanging processes
with debian kernel 4.9.30 on the hppa platform.
In the source code of LTP's fanotify07.c testcase one can read:
* Kernel crashes should be fixed by:
* 96d41019e3ac "fanotify: fix list corruption in fanotify_get_response()"
*
* Kernel hangs should be fixed by:
* 05f0e38724e8 "fanotify: Release SRCU lock when waiting for userspace response"
It seems upstream commit
05f0e38724e8 "fanotify: Release SRCU lock when waiting for userspace response"
is missing in stable kernel 4.9.30 (and debian kernel), which explains why the
testcase hangs.
I didn't checked if the kernel crash fix is in 4.9.30.
Can you backport at least the commit 05f0e38724e8 ?
Thanks,
Helge
