I'm announcing the release of the 6.12.2 kernel.
6.12.1 works fine but 6.12.2 generates lots of errors during
boot. Tried on several machines all exhibit the same issue. This one is
an older lenovo laptop. They do boot and appear to be working but the
boot errors are worrisome.
It's been several hours since 12.2.2 was released, so others may not
have a problem?
As Linus has indicated in:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/CAHk-=whGd0dfaJNiWSR60HH5iwxqhUZPDWgHCQd446gH2Wu0yQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
the problem is the missing commit b23decf8ac91 ("sched: Initialize idle tasks
only once"). Applying that on top of 6.12.2 fixes the problem.
We just encountered this issue in Gentoo as well when releasing a new kernel
and adding that patch has resolved the issue.
Thought it best to share before I start to work on bisect. config and
dmesg outputs attached.
No need to, just add b23decf8ac91 :)
cheers
