Hi, all,
I was testing Linux torvalds tree vanilla kernel, and I've noticed for a number of releases this ./nci_dev stops testing until it's terminated (15).
Now, I tried to examine what went wrong, I hoped it will go away by itself. it didn't, so I am posting a bug report.
The ./nci_dev seems to be stuck in several processes waiting on each other. I was able to produce stacktraces. I am unable to tell if it is testsuite bug or a problem in underlying syscalls.

I hope this can help you see what went wrong. The testing suite gets stuck on each run.
