I understand--we are also not keen on the way grsec distributes their patches or the timeliness with which they follow stable/LTS kernel releases. In this case, I can't conceive of a way to reproduce the problem with an upstream kernel or any other, yet to my limited understanding of the evidence it appears there may indeed be a real problem lurking in there. I will follow up with the grsec folks. > On Thu, Nov 2, 2017 at 5:51 PM, Ed Swierk <eswi...@skyportsystems.com> wrote: >> Ping? >> >> On Wed, Oct 25, 2017 at 9:35 PM, Ed Swierk <eswi...@skyportsystems.com> >> wrote: >>> >>> Ping? >>> >>> On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 4:11 PM, Ed Swierk <eswi...@skyportsystems.com> >>> wrote: >>> > >>> > Ping for Peter, Ingo and other sched maintainers: >>> > >>> > I'd appreciate any feedback on this hard lockup issue, which occurred >>> > on a system running kernel 4.4.52-grsec.
