Subject: [BUG] packet loss with PROVE_LOCKING, bisected to EDAC fix
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2016 21:42:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160321214209.GA8480@localhost> (raw)
Hi,
I was testing something on an old server (Dell T105 opteron) and noticed
packet loss after updating the kernel from 3.10 to 4.5. The test was:
On Dell run: iperf -s
On another system: iperf3 -c dell -u -b 20M -l 1k -t 1000
This sends a 20mbit UDP stream to the Dell. It works fine normally (0%
packet loss), but when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled there is high
(35%) packet loss. (DEBUG_LOCKDEP also seems to cause packet loss)
The packet loss bisected back to:
commit 88d84ac97378c2f1d5fec9af1e8b7d9a662d6b00

EDAC: Fix lockdep splat
I have confirmed that the commit preceding this (v3.11-rc1) is fine and
that 88d84a introduced the bug.
