Ok, I've tested patches 1+2+4 and bug, while very hard to trigger, is still present. I'll test complete 1-4 patchset as time permits.Sorry for silence, I've been quite busy lately.quoted
And also patch 5 please which is the revert. Patch 5 as pointed out is probably a red herring. Hwoever, it has changed the timing and made a difference for some testing so I'd like to know if it helps yours as well.I've tested patches 1+2+3+4 in my normal usage scenario (do some work, suspend, do work, suspend, ...) and it failed today after 4 days (== 4 suspend-resume cycles).
I have been testing 1+2,1+2+3 as well as 3+4 and have been of the assumption that 3+4 does help ... I have now been runing a modified version of 4 which prints a warning instead of doing anything ... I have now seen the allocation issue again without the warning being printed. So in other words 1+2+3 make the problem less severe, but do not solve it 4 seems to be a red hering. cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch tobi-7K0TWYW2a3pyDzI6CaY1VQ@public.gmane.org ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900
