Kernel 4.20

[xeno74]

Hi All,

I figured out that the problem is in the OF source code of the commit: Merge tag devicetree-for-4.20.

I reverted the following OF files and SMP works!

Code: Select all

drivers/of/base.c		
drivers/of/device.c
drivers/of/of_mdio.c
drivers/of/of_numa.c
drivers/of/of_private.h
drivers/of/overlay.c	
drivers/of/platform.c
drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_15.dts
drivers/of/unittest-data/tests-overlay.dtsi
drivers/of/unittest.c
include/linux/of.h

Cheers,
Christian

Alpha5 up and running on the X5000 but with issues!

The attached USB peripherals like my USB to LAN adapter, or USB Wifi adapter dont work anymore. The do show up in dmesg but dont function as Ethernet device.
(i only had the Uimage4-20-alpha5 file and not the lib/modules as not being posted)

Little progress ...

I reverted the following two OF files of the commit Merge tag devicetree-for-4.20 and SMP works! The problematic code is somewhere in these two files.

Code: Select all

a/include/linux/of.h
a/drivers/of/base.c

I had downloaded Alpha2 but not tried it yet before I saw Alpha3 was available, so I got that going yesterday. And today I think I'm lucky I'm slow.

I found the problematic code and I created a patch today. SMP works with this patch again.
