Hi Jerome,

The issue persists in the updated hmm-next. The test program hangs on 
the first run on my 12-core SMT system:

$ sudo ./run.sh
&&& 2 migrate threads, 2 read threads: STARTING
&&& 2 migrate threads, 2 read threads: PASSED
&&& 2 migrate threads, 3 read threads: STARTING
&&& 2 migrate threads, 3 read threads: PASSED
&&& 2 migrate threads, 4 read threads: STARTING
&&& 2 migrate threads, 4 read threads: PASSED
&&& 3 migrate threads, 2 read threads: STARTING
....
[no progress being made]

Please find attached a new kernel log with blocked tasks shown and my 
kernel config. I hope that is helpful.

Thanks,
