On my main devel box, vanilla 2.6.23 on x86-64/Fedora-7, I'm seeing a certain behavior at least once a day. I'll start a kernel build (make -sj5 on this box), and it will "hang" in the following way:Specifically, the symptom is a process, often a simple one like cat(1) or rm(1) or somewhere in check-headers, will stay in the running state, accumulating CPU time. If I Ctrl-C the build, and start over, the build will normally -not- get stuck at the same point, but proceed to chew through one of a bazillion allmodconfig builds. I also see this occasionally on my main workstation (also 2.6.23/x86-64/Fedora-7), though not as frequently. This is a new behavior since the new scheduler was merged... I think. Nothing more concrete to report at this time. I cannot easily reproduce the behavior, as it happens [apparently] randomly sometime during the day. Generally, the files these programs are dealing with are -always- in the pagecache, if that makes any difference. Jeff -
