Re: [PATCH RT 0/4] [ANNOUNCE] 3.0.14-rt32-rc1

Hi Steve

I haven't found the time to test the newer release but i still have some 
feedback for the "older" stuff.

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.0.14-rt32-rc1.

Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches
too.

Well the error i described in other mails to this list are still
persistent: * ksoftirq running wild due to fec ethernet tx interrupt.

I would be surprised if it went away, as none of these patches would
have touched that code.

Does patch nr 2 possibly fix the error reboot fails with "Unable to
execute shutdown: Bad address". The error occurs not to often so it is
hard to say if this 3.0.14-rt32 is still showing this error.

Honestly I don't know about that error. But wait queues have been a
thorn in -rt for a while, and this patch fixes a few areas I'm sure.
That being one of them, I guess you'll find out if you see the bug
again ;-)

Well i just found out, the error is still present :-(. The process start of 
reboot sometimes just fails with a "Bad address" error. I think this behaviour 
is there in all 3.0.x-rt releases. This is on arm i.xm35 pcm42 platform. I 
currently have no Idea where this error comes from but i would be happy for 
any input. I suspect that this error is happening with other processes than 
reboot. I suspect that failing konqueror ssh client sessions with "fish://" 
also are failing due to this error. Unfortunatly no hard evidence for this.

Best regards
Tim
