Hi Xiaolong, I'm encountering some difficulties running the reproducer, see below. Any help is very welcome!

So, an additional d_is_reg() is needed here. I'll fix this in the next iteration once I got the reproducer working. > To reproduce: > > git clone https://github.com/01org/lkp-tests.git > cd lkp-tests > bin/lkp qemu -k job-script # job-script is attached in this email > This gives make: Entering directory '/home/nic/lkp-tests/bin/event' gcc -c -o wakeup.o wakeup.c gcc -o wakeup wakeup.o rm -f wakeup.o strip wakeup make: Leaving directory '/home/nic/lkp-tests/bin/event' cpio: root:lkp: invalid group cpio: root:lkp: invalid group cpio: root:lkp: invalid group gzip: /home/nic/.lkp/cache/lkp-x86_64.cpio: No such file or directory mv: cannot stat ‘/home/nic/.lkp/cache/lkp-x86_64.cpio.gz’: No such file or directory mv: cannot stat ‘/home/nic/.lkp/cache/lkp-x86_64.cgz’: No such file or directory result_root: /home/nic/.lkp//result/boot/1/vm-lkp-nex04-8G/debian-x86_64-2016-08-31.cgz/x86_64-rhel-7.2/gcc-6/f3e7155d085591ab58f0993ce633fea58c082b35/3 downloading initrds ... /usr/bin/wget -q --local-encoding=UTF-8 --retry-connrefused --waitretry 1000 --tries 1000 https://github.com/0day-ci/lkp-qemu/raw/master/osimage/debian/debian-x86_64-2016-08-31.cgz -N -P /home/nic/.lkp/cache/osimage/debian /usr/bin/wget -q --local-encoding=UTF-8 --retry-connrefused --waitretry 1000 --tries 1000 https://github.com/0day-ci/lkp-qemu/raw/master/osimage/deps/debian-x86_64-2016-08-31.cgz/lkp_2017-04-01.cgz -N -P /home/nic/.lkp/cache/osimage/deps/debian-x86_64-2016-08-31.cgz Failed to download osimage/deps/debian-x86_64-2016-08-31.cgz/lkp_2017-04-01.cgz Manual download of that very last lkp_2017-04-01.cgz file results in a 404 error.
