sfuzz.c (google for it if you don't have it already) used to run forver (or until I got bored and ctrl-c'd it) as long as it didn't trigger an oops or the like in 2.6.17
Running it against 2.6.18, I notice that it runs for a while, and then gets totally wedged. It doesn't respond to any signals, can't be ptraced, and even strace subsequently gets wedged. The machine responds, and is still interactive, but that process is hosed. sysrq-t shows it stuck here.. sfuzz D 724EF62A 2828 28717 28691 (NOTLB) cd69fe98 00000082 0000012d 724ef62a 0001971a 00000010 00000007 df6d22b0 dfd81080 725bbc5e 0001971a 000cc634 00000001 df6d23bc c140e260 00000202 de1d5ba0 cd69fea0 de1d5ba0 00000000 00000000 de1d5b60 de1d5b8c de1d5ba0 Call Trace: [<c05b1708>] lock_sock+0x75/0xa6 [<e0b0b604>] dn_getname+0x18/0x5f [decnet] [<c05b083b>] sys_getsockname+0x5c/0xb0 [<c05b0b46>] sys_socketcall+0xef/0x261 [<c0403f97>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb DWARF2 unwinder stuck at syscall_call+0x7/0xb I wonder if the plethora of lockdep related changes inadvertantly broke something?
