I'm running the NUMA tests on 3.13 for some time now and it looks like the change did not introduce any regression...

And generating concurrency: $ sudo stress --cpu 16 & So kernel scheduler has to migrate tasks, triggering the buggy logic's fix. I can confirm the logic is being triggered by using ftrace: $ sudo trace-cmd record -p function -l numa_migrate_preferred -l task_numa_migrate -l migrate_swap -l stop_two_cpus $ sudo trace-cmd report | grep stop_two_cpus | wc -l162 And can't find any regression. I'll let the tests to run a bit more and will suggest the fix to our kernel team to merge it as a Stable Release Update for Trusty, Utopic and Vivid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1461620 Title: NUMA task migration race condition due to stop task not being checked when balancing happens Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Trusty: In Progress Bug description: It was brought to my attention the follow kernel panic: """ [3367068.076488] Code: 23 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 83 fb 03 75 05 45 84 ed 75 66 f0 41 ff 4c 24 24 74 26 89 da 83 fa 04 74 3d f3 90 41 8b 5c 24 20 <39> d3 74 f0 83 fb 02 75 d7 fa 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 eb d8 66 0f 1f [3367068.092735] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#16 stuck for 22s!
