SubjectHow to debug DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE hang during loading of kernel?
Hi,

I recently had trouble with loading a 4.9rcX kernel, which was hanging
after loading the initial kernel ramdisk. After some painful bisecting
I found this:

bea5b158ff0da9c7246ff391f754f5f38e34577a is the first bad commit

driver core: add test of driver remove calls during probe

In recent discussions on ksummit-discuss[1], it was suggested to do a
sequence of probe, remove, probe for testing driver remove paths. This
adds a kconfig option for said test.

It turns out that the package i was using to build the kernel had
DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE enabled.

How do I actually figure out why this test causes a hang. I don't have
a COM port available to use as serial console, and i don't know if it
would even help.

Please CC me as i'm not a member of this mailinglist.

Maarten.
