Subject: [REGRESSION] boot regression in next-20170428
Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 17:08:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8138a4bf-30b6-944d-083d-dcee05ce68ba@axis.com> (raw)
Hello
Since next-20170428
the ARTPEC-6 SoC (MACH_ARTPEC6) does no longer boot.
It works fine with next-20170427.
I've bisected it to the following commit:
6d684e54690caef45cf14051ddeb7c71beeb681b is the first bad commit
commit 6d684e54690caef45cf14051ddeb7c71beeb681b

rhashtable: Cap total number of entries to 2^31
When max_size is not set or if it set to a sufficiently large
value, the nelems counter can overflow. This would cause havoc
with the automatic shrinking as it would then attempt to fit a
huge number of entries into a tiny hash table.
This patch fixes this by adding max_elems to struct rhashtable
to cap the number of elements. This is set to 2^31 as nelems is
not a precise count. This is sufficiently smaller than UINT_MAX
that it should be safe.
When max_size is set max_elems will be lowered to at most twice
max_size as is the status quo.

Enabling earlyprintk does not give any more info,
it simply hangs after:
JUMP dest=0x2000000 dtb=0x2900000 machine=0x1399 initrd=0x02a00000/0x0021b193 cmdline="earlyprintk debug initcall_debug=1"
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

Niklas
