The below seems to run all-right so far, I'll let it run for a while.

Doesn't look very good here. The serial console basically locks up as
soon as the system gets busy, even if the kernel compilation seem to
progress at a decent pace.

Just got the following:

OK, I'll leave the one that worked queued up for this release. If we can
come up with a better alternative we can try for the next release, that
should give us ample time to test things and get us a working kernel
now ;-)

Btw. I do not pretend I really understand se->vruntime, but in this
case we are doing enqueue_task() without ->task_waking(), however we
pass ENQUEUE_WAKING. Is it correct?

Oleg.

No its not, that's the thing that I got wrong the first time and caused
these pauses.

Agreed. The board has been compiling kernels for over 15 hours now, and
doesn't show any sign of deadlock. Yet ;-).

So until someone comes up with a much better approach, let's keep this
one. I'm of course happy to continue testing stuff though.

Cheers,
