[ltt-dev] lttctl locks up with RT Linux

[jpaul at gdrs.com]

Turning off CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR does not solve the issue with starting up "lttctl -C" ... that call never returns. I'm no longer getting the stack dumps in /var/log/messages and I still have to hard reboot the system as soft reboot doesn't work.

If you disable RCU stalls detection, does it work ?

[Context for Paul: it's on a -RT kernel, with the LTTng patchset]

Thanks,
