That's pretty useless, isn't it? We need to know the mutex_lock() caller here. > stack backtrace > [<c0105256>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x2f > [<c010597b>] show_trace+0x12/0x14 > [<c0105a3d>] dump_stack+0x16/0x18 > [<c013fc73>] __lock_acquire+0x1aa/0xceb > [<c014082d>] lock_acquire+0x79/0x93 > [<c03385dc>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x107/0x349 > [<c033883a>] mutex_lock+0x1c/0x1f > [<c011d924>] sched_getaffinity+0x14/0x91 > [<c015796d>] __synchronize_sched+0x11/0x5f > [<c011d257>] detach_destroy_domains+0x2c/0x30 > [<c011fc1a>] update_sched_domains+0x27/0x3a > [<c012fe7a>] notifier_call_chain+0x2b/0x4a > [<c012fec6>] __raw_notifier_call_chain+0x19/0x1e > [<c0145756>] _cpu_down+0x70/0x282 > [<c014598e>] cpu_down+0x26/0x38 > [<c0272714>] store_online+0x27/0x5a > [<c026f610>] sysdev_store+0x20/0x25 > [<c01b7a8e>] sysfs_write_file+0xc1/0xe9 > [<c0180052>] vfs_write+0xd1/0x15a > [<c0180682>] sys_write+0x3d/0x72 > [<c0104270>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb > > l *0xc033883a > 0xc033883a is in mutex_lock (/mnt/md0/devel/linux-mm/kernel/mutex.c:92). > 87 /* > 88 * The locking fastpath is the 1->0 transition from > 89 * 'unlocked' into 'locked' state. > 90 */ > 91 __mutex_fastpath_lock(&lock->count, __mutex_lock_slowpath); > 92 } > 93 > 94 EXPORT_SYMBOL(mutex_lock); > 95 > 96 static void fastcall noinline __sched > > I didn't test other -mm's with this test. > > http://www.stardust.webpages.pl/files/tbf/bitis-gabonica/2.6.21-rc3-mm1/console.log > http://www.stardust.webpages.pl/files/tbf/bitis-gabonica/2.6.21-rc3-mm1/mm-config I can't immediately spot the bug. Probably it's caused by rcu-preempt's changes to synchronize_sched(): that function now does a heap more than it used to, including taking sched_hotcpu_muex. So, what to do about this. Paul, I'm thinking that I should drop rcu-preempt for now - I don't think we ended up being able to identify any particular benefit which it brings to current mainline, and I suspect that things will become simpler if/when we start using the process freezer for CPU hotplug. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
