RE: [next-20190530] Boot failure on PowerPC

Hi Sachin,

I verified below patch against Ubuntu 18.04, didn't hit the kernel panic any more, could you please let know how did you verify?

Thanks,
Lili

Machine boots till login prompt and then panics few seconds later.

Last known next build was May 24th. Will attempt few builds till May 
30 to narrow down this problem.

My CI was fine with next-20190529 (9a15d2e3fd03e3).

cheers

Hi Sachin,
It looks this patch may fix the issue:
https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flkml.org%2Flkml%2F2019%2F5%2F30%2F1630&data=02%7C01%7Cv-lide%40microsoft.com%7C66e1ef6017aa461703f808d6e7d148cd%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C1%7C636951283393233385&sdata=IJFhtvL2Bd87HCoMZ7oWL%2Bar6NY%2FfPbmdCZMT%2BJz5t4%3D&reserved=0 , but I'm not sure.

It does not help fix the kernel panic issue, but it fixes the get_swap_device warning messages during the boot.

Thanks
