Re: [PATCH v7 24/26] PREEMPT_RT injection

[kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com>]

Hello,

we made a similar report two weeks ago. again, we cannot understand well the
purpose of this patch set, this report is just FYI what we observed in our
tests.

by this commit, a big config diff is introduced comparing to parent [1]

then a boot test which can pass on parent commit (previous patch) now fails
persistently.

unfortunately, we cannot find more useful information in dmesg.

below is full report FYI.
