The patch titled uml: DEBUG_SHIRQ fixes has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is uml-debug_shirq-fixes.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: uml: DEBUG_SHIRQ fixes From: Eduard-Gabriel Munteanu <maxdamage@xxxxxxxxx> DEBUG_SHIRQ generates spurious interrupts, triggering handlers such as mconsole_interrupt() or line_interrupt(). They expect data to be available to be read from their sockets/pipes, but in the case of spurious interrupts, the host didn't actually send anything, so UML hangs in read() and friends. Setting those fd's as O_NONBLOCK makes DEBUG_SHIRQ-enabled UML kernels boot and run correctly.
