The one-sentence summary is that a triplefault causing machine reset occurs while hugetlb is used during a long-running regression test for the Oracle database on both EM64T and x86-64. Thus far attempts to produce isolated testcases have not been successful. The test involves duplicating a database across two database instances. My current work on this consists largely of attempting to get access to debugging equipment and/or simulators to carry out post-mortem analysis. I've recently been informed that some of this will be provided to me. -- wli -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
