Hi,
Hi,
I just got an info-backtrace while running cyclictest on an iMX28 with kernel 4.1.27-rt30.
This resulted in a latency spike (i'm not sure whether caused by the trace dumping).
Can anyone share some info on this and what to do to prevent the cause of this info-trace?
Did you do anything else besides starting cyclictest?
To put the system under load we're running a "dohell" script, which
boils down to parallel running hackbench and dd, ls, ps, cat, .. commands.
The problem is easily triggered, but only after starting a flood-ping to
the PREEMPT_RT-system under test. This also results in huge latency,
much bigger than on a 'normal' PREEMPT-system, which seems to be
resistant against the flood-ping.
Any suggestions how to best trace this down?
Thanks,
Henri
RCU was somehow blocked and did not make any progress. This might if a
task in an RCU-read section got preempted for long time _or_ is active
in that section over a very long time. More information can be found at
