Here's a summary of the Linux Test Project run on the latest sparc git tree. I'm focussing on the blocking tests first, but it's slow going. Test systems: palantir9 SS20, 2x ROSS Hypersparc, 320MB palantir13 SS10, 2x SuperSparc II, 128MB Kernel: 2.6.23-mph4 SMP from the sparc-2.6.git tree. Last commit: 4fa4d23fa20de67df919030c1216295664866ad7 Merge branch 'upstream-linus' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6 LTP version: ltp-full-20070930 Command run: ./runltplite.sh -p -l ltplite-211007.log Summary: Total Tests: 759 Total Failures: 16 2 tests block the test run from completing on SS20: mkdir09 and rename14 On SS10 pipe04 also blocked completion. Blocking tests: --------------- 1) mkdir09 In SMP mode, the process threads end up in state D (Uninterruptible sleep). With the same kernel in UP mode (with num_cpus=0), the test always succeeds. Could someone with a SPARC64 try this test? Typical ps output in SMP mode: palantir13:/opt# ps -luopendev F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD 5 S 1001 468 464 0 80 0 - 2331 - ? 00:00:00 sshd 0 S 1001 469 468 2 80 0 - 960 - pts/0 00:00:06 bash 0 S 1001 564 469 0 80 0 - 405 - pts/0 00:00:00 mkdir09 1 D 1001 565 564 0 80 0 - 405 - pts/0 00:00:00 mkdir09 1 D 1001 566 564 0 80 0 - 405 - pts/0 00:00:00 mkdir09 1 D 1001 567 564 0 80 0 - 405 - pts/0 00:00:00 mkdir09 1 D 1001 568 564 0 80 0 - 405 - pts/0 00:00:00 mkdir09 1 D 1001 569 564 0 80 0 - 405 - pts/0 00:00:00 mkdir09 1 D 1001 570 564 1 80 0 - 405 - pts/0 00:00:01 mkdir09 palantir13:/opt# ps sa UID PID PENDING BLOCKED IGNORED CAUGHT STAT TTY TIME COMMAND 0 459 00000000 00000000 00000002 00002000 Ss ttyS0 0:00 /bin/lo 0 460 00000000 00080000 00324004 7b883efb S ttyS0 0:00 -bash 1001 469 00000000 00080000 00324004 7b883efb Ss pts/0 0:06 -bash 1001 564 00000000 00000000 00004000 <7ff2beff S+ pts/0 0:00 ./mkdir 1001 565 00004000 00000000 00000000 <7ffafeff D+ pts/0 0:00 ./mkdir 1001 566 00004000 00000000 00000000 <7ffafeff D+ pts/0 0:00 ./mkdir 1001 567 00004000 00000000 00000000 <7ffafeff D+ pts/0 0:00 ./mkdir 1001 568 00004000 00000000 00000000 <7ffafeff D+ pts/0 0:00 ./mkdir 1001 569 00004000 00000000 00000000 <7ffafeff D+ pts/0 0:00 ./mkdir 1001 570 00004000 00000000 00000000 <7ffafeff D+ pts/0 0:01 ./mkdir The 2nd ps shows that main thread (564) has send a SIGTERM to all other threads, but they are blocked on something. No further investigation done on this yet. 2) rename14 Running this test causes the following console output: EXT3-fs warning (device sdb4): ext3_rename: Deleting old file (162881), 2, error=-2 EXT3-fs warning (device sdb4): ext3_rename: Deleting old file (162881), 2, error=-2 EXT3-fs warning (device sdb4): ext3_rename: Deleting old file (162881), 2, error=-2 EXT3-fs warning (device sdb4): ext3_rename: Deleting old file (162881), 2, error=-2 EXT3-fs warning (device sdb4): ext3_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file (162885), 0 and corrupts the FS. Looks like a endian problem in ext3.
