Rozycki, Joerg Roedel, rcu, Thomas Gleixner, kernelci, Joel Fernandes, linux-kernel, Peter Zijlstra, Mathieu Desnoyers, Andrew Morton Hi Paul, Please see the bisection report below about a new kernel alert message. Reports aren't automatically sent to the public while we're trialing new bisection features on kernelci.org but this one looks valid. Some more details can be found here: https://linux.kernelci.org/test/case/id/61a4f02ad5a9e3a5f218f6f6/ The bisection was run on QEMU but it seems to appear on all platforms as it's not an architecture-specific change. Presumably, none of the platforms in KernelCI is setting a value for rcu_task_enqueue_lim at the moment. Alert messages normally highlight potential problems, so ideally they would need to be resolved. Should the message in this case really be a pr_alert(), and if so what would be the recommended way to avoid it? Best wishes, Guillaume GitHub: https://github.com/kernelci/kernelci-project/issues/78 On 26/11/2021 21:15, kernelci.org bot wrote: > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * > * This automated bisection report was sent to you on the basis * > * that you may be involved with the breaking commit it has * > * found.
