Hi,

my qemu test for mipsel crashes with next-20150715 as follows.

ping ... problem is still seen as of next-20150727.

Hi Guenter,

Apologies for the delay. Could you share your affected kernel
configuration & which userland you're running?

I've just tested with a malta_defconfig kernel & a buildroot based
initramfs without problems, and things are also fine on my physical
MIPSr6 setups. If you have any directions with which I can reproduce
this problem that would be great.

This is with qemu in little endian mode. Big endian works fine.

Yup, I was using little endian in both cases. malta_defconfig is little
endian - sadly use of the el suffix is pretty inconsistent...

Interesting.

The configuration, the script to build and run the kernel, 
and the root file system used are are available at
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test, in directory
rootfs/mipsel/. The log for the latest build failure is in
http://server.roeck-us.net:8010/builders/qemu-mipsel-next/builds/194/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio.

Thanks for the pointers, I'm able to reproduce it using your config and
initramfs, and I'll dig into what's going on here.

Let me know what you find. Maybe something is wrong with my configuration
or initramfs, but it is odd that I didn't see the problem earlier.

Unfortunately I don't recall where I got the configuration from.
Guess I should keep notes :-(.

Thanks,
Guenter
