Hi all,

Changes since 20180731:

The pci tree gained a conflict against the pci-current tree.

The net-next tree gained a conflict against the bpf tree.

The block tree lost its build failure.

The staging tree still had its build failure due to an
interaction
with
the vfs tree for which I disabled CONFIG_EROFS_FS.

The kspp tree lost its build failure.

The widespread kernel hang issues are still seen. I managed
to bisect it after working around the transient build failures.
Bisect log is attached below. Unfortunately, it doesn't help
much.
The culprit is reported as:

2d542828c5e9 Merge remote-tracking branch 'scsi/for-next'

The preceding merge,

453f1d821165 Merge remote-tracking branch 'cgroup/for-next'

checks out fine, as does the tip of scsi-next (commit
103c7b7e0184,
"Merge branch 'misc' into for-next"). No idea how to proceed.

This sounds like you may have a problem with this patch:

ÂÂÂÂcommit d5038a13eca72fb216c07eb717169092e92284f1
ÂÂÂÂÂAuthor: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@xxxxxxx>
ÂÂÂÂÂDate:ÂÂÂWed Jul 4 10:53:56 2018 +0200

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂscsi: core: switch to scsi-mq by default

To verify, boot with the additional kernel parameter

scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=0

Which will reverse the effect of the above patch.


Yes, that fixes the problem.

That may not the root cause, given this issue is only started to
see from next-20180731, but d5038a13eca7 (scsi: core: switch to
scsi-mq by default)
has been in -next for quite a while.

Seems something new causes this issue.

Read my other email about how to find this.

https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=153316446223676

Now that we've confirmed the issue, Gunter, could you attempt to bisect
it as that email describes?


Already working on it.
