Dear Greg,
6259151c04d4e0085e00d2dcb471ebdd1778e72e from mainline is missing in 6.1.103-rc1 and completes 39823b47bbd40502632ffba90ebb34fff7c8b5e8.
Please note that the second hunk from 6259151 needs to be modified to cleanly apply to 6.1.103-rc1. Example on [1].
## Long version ##
This patch series breaks operation of the hp-sim kernel in ski. I think it happens when trying to access the ext4 root FS in the simulation, see for example [2] for more details.
From the call trace:
[...] [<a0000001000263f0>] die+0x1b0/0x3e0 [<a00000010004bd40>] ia64_do_page_fault+0x680/0x9c0 [<a00000010000c4e0>] ia64_leave_kernel+0x0/0x280 [<a00000010063f6a0>] dd_limit_depth+0x80/0x140 [...]...I tracked it down to [3] and following the linked discussion ([4]), this is actually patch 2 of 2. And 1 of 2 ([5]) is in upstream, but not in 6.1.103-rc1.
Applying that patch ([5]) (plus adapting hunk #2 of it) on top of 6.1.103-rc1 fixes it for me ([6]).
Thanks for this, I'll just drop the original offending commit here as that seems like the simplest way. If these really need to be in the 6.1.y tree, I'll be glad to take a backported series that people have tested to verify it all works properly.
