Previous ID: LIN9-6745
Found In Version: 10.17.41.6
Fix Version: 10.17.41.8
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 17
Component/s: Kernel
We encountered system hung when running LTP ftest01 with preempt-rt kernel. We succeeded to reproduce same issue on the reference target with modified LTP ftest01.
The issue reproduce when we specify temporary path onto eMMC or SD-Card with LTP's -d option. Also, the issue reproduce with ext4 filesystem. We tried to format the partition with ext2 and mount it by ext4 module, but it was not reproduced.
1. Configure the project with LTP and preempt-rt kernel
./wrlinux-10/setup.sh --dl-layers --machine qemux86-64 --templates feature/test
2. Enable preempt-kernel with following method:
Add following statment to conf/local
KTYPE_ENABLED ?= "preempt-rt"
LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE ?= "preempt-rt"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel= "linux-yocto-rt"
TARGET_SUPPORTED_KTYPES_append = " preempt-rt"
3. Enable following kernel config:
bitbake linux-yocto-rt -c menuconfig
Symbol: DETECT_HUNG_TASK [=y]
¦ Type : boolean
¦ Prompt: Detect Hung Tasks
¦ Location:
¦ -> Kernel hacking
¦ -> Debug Lockups and Hangs
4. Modify following file to fork 10 children:
build/tmp/work/aarch64-wrs-linux/ltp/20160126-r0/git/testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest01.c
Before:
static void setup(void)
{
...
/*
* Default values for run conditions.
*/
iterations = 10;
nchild = 5;
After:
static void setup(void)
{
...
/*
* Default values for run conditions.
*/
iterations = 10;
nchild = 10;
5. Build the project
6. Boot the target
7. Run LTP ftest01 as follows:
# run /opt/ltp/runltp -f fs -s ftest01 -d /mnt
Normally, above test takes 10~15 minutes. However, hung tasks are sometimes detected.
