Hello, current git results in a freeze. I tracked it down to | error = type->get_sb(type, flags, name, data, mnt); in vfs_kern_mount(), fs/super.c (what is called from mount_root() during the boot process). I use XFS on my rootfs partition. After this, I started to bisect. During the bisect process I stepped into two things.

Since this isn't the freeze I was looking I continued my bisect process. The commit |10d90157c83d4b6743c9063c36f9e7f27aa254b6 is first bad commit |commit 10d90157c83d4b6743c9063c36f9e7f27aa254b6 |Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx> |Date: Fri Jan 25 22:17:16 2008 +0100 | | ide: convert do_rw_taskfile() to use ->data_phase | | * Use task->data_phase in do_rw_taskfile() to decide what to do. | | * task->prehandler is only used by TASKFILE[_MULTI]_OUT so just | use pre_task_out_intr() directly and remove no longer needed | 'prehandler' field from ide_task_t. | | * Remove no longer needed ide_pre_handler_t type. | | There should be no functionality changes caused by this patch. | | Acked-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx> | |:040000 040000 4197f4ab343f54f9eab32000df33eb118121f9fa e38665b62f3fc315e5b3bd9bb9c49bec4a961d43 M drivers |:040000 040000 a9abbd138a5713e16406fd63be0799e109849c53 3ee5fade5fc65ea1b41b6ca55b3de2dbb904623b M include turned the Oops into the freeze. There was no working commit in between (well, git-bisect did not find one). My .config [2], my lspci and cpuinfo [3].
