Subject : [regression, 2.6.37-rc1] 'ip link tap0 up' stuck in do_exit() Submitter : Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Date : 2010-11-03 6:26 Message-ID : 20101103062609.GB31163@dastard References : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128876560131870&w=2 This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.36. Please don't close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
I changed it to the 2.6.35 regression list. > Actually, the machine isn't running a 2.6.36 kernel (it had booted > to the working .35 kernel and I didn't notice). So i've just tested > a 2.6.36 kernel, and the problem _is present_ in 2.6.36. > Cheers, > Dave.
Also present in 2.6.32 (Should have finished reading that thread). Note that earlier kernels were not tested, so it's not clear that it is a regression at all... Did this got resolved in the meantime?

No, not resolved. I diagnosed it to being related to a distro sudo configuration change causing the problem: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=128883013013886&w=2 and as far as I'm aware nothing has happened from there.
