I've run this several times and I can't get this to reproduce. The failure is a segfault in stress-ng, and there stress test should report if there are any kernel messages; however no messages were emitted. So I'm really not sure why this is failing.
Tested using:
1. stand-alone stress-ng with this specific stressor on all CPUs
2. run just the kernel stress smoke test (several times)
3. run the dep8 tests stand-alone using:
git clone git://kernel. ubuntu. com/ubuntu/ kernel- testing testing/ run-dep8- tests
kernel-
Can't reproduce. Can we re-run these tests to see the failure rates?
