Results from Linaro’s test farm. No regressions on arm64, arm, x86_64, and i386.
NOTE: This kernel panic seems to be platform specific. However, I am sharing a few kernel panic logs here. While running LTP cve[1] and libhugetlbfs[2] test suite on nxp ls2088 device the kernel panic noticed with different kernel dump and unfortunately it is not easily reproducible. At this point it is unclear whether this problem started happening from this stable rc review or not. Because a different type of kernel panic noticed on Linus 's mainline tree (5.7.0-rc2) version kernel while running LTP containers tests.
As per the initial investigation these kernel panic (s) noticed from a single machine out of five machines under test.
