I have downloaded the test kernel as suggested and executed the scenario again.

  Install a P8 Power VM LPAR with Ubuntu 14.04.2 ISO.
  Then install the Ubuntu 14.04.3 kernel on the same and reboot.
  Then compile and build the LTP latest test suites on the same.

  It is possible that we are missing this commit that fixes a deadlock
  during these tests:

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id=f548d99ef4f5ec8f7080e88ad07c44d16d058ddc

  will check the Ubuntu source shortly as see if this is the case and we
  can suggest building a kernel to see if it helps.

  The apt-get source linux-image- on the test system didn't pull down
  the sources but the kernel being used is close to the one used for
  vivid (3.19.0-25.26) so I pulled down the git source tree for it with
  git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-vivid.git and the
  resulting source shows that the patch for the commit mentioned is not
  applied.

  As I basically understand it, the problem that was fixed is that while
  torture_rwlock_read_lock_irq() acquires a read lock on the lock
  called:

  torture_rwlock

  anything that calls the counterpart torture_rwlock_read_unlock_irq()
  to relinquish the read lock instead ends doing a
  write_unlock_irqrestore() on the torture_rwlock() in essence leaving
  the read lock. So when the locktorture module calls something like
  torture_rwlock_write_lock() as we see in the bug description, it will
  block indefinitely as there is at least one lock reader.

  I'll go ahead and mirror this since I pretty confident this is the
  issue (also should affect Vivid).

  We'll have to figure out how to get the sources for the LTS kernel to
  build a test kernel as well.
