It seems this is a problem in the symbios scsi driver which looks like being present in the same form upstream.
[ 271.732918] [<ffffffff8139a109>] __sym_mfree_dma+0x69/0x100 This function disables interrupts to take a spinlock. Then calls functions to free resources which will emit the warning when called with interrupts disabled. void __sym_mfree_dma(m_pool_ident_t dev_dmat, void *m, int size, char *name) { unsigned long flags; m_pool_p mp; spin_lock_irqsave(&sym53c8xx_lock, flags); mp = ___get_dma_pool(dev_dmat); if (!mp) goto out; __sym_mfree(mp, m, size, name); #ifdef SYM_MEM_FREE_UNUSED if (!mp->nump) ___del_dma_pool(mp); #endif out: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sym53c8xx_lock, flags); } Not sure whether the spinunlock might be simply moved up a bit. That might need some discussion with upstream and or testing. But the bug task could be moved to kernel. I guess the QEMU task can only be set to invalid. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- kernel stacktrace on volume detach in kvm guest https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
