This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
saucy' to 'verification-done-saucy'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  Soft lockup when running bonnie++ only at 1600 mt/s

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: running a test like bonnie++ makes the system instable and
  prone to hangs.

  Fix: apply the attached patches and recompile a kernel.

  Test case: leave bonnie running in a loop for 24hrs.

  --

  When bonnie++ was run in a loop, the system exhibits a hang behavior with
  "rcu_sched: self-detected stall on CPU"
  The time to error can be inconsistent.  One time it took 7 hours and the next time more than 2 days.

  Commands to reproduce the failure:
  $ sudo apt-get install bonnie++
  $ mkdir bonnie
  $ while true; do bonnie++ -d bonnie; done &>>bonnie0.log &
