Possibly unrelated, but whilst I was poking at try_to_wake_up yesterday, I thought I spotted a site where we fail to update rq clock. Since we just moved the task to a new cpu (and thus rq) we need to update_rq_clock() again. diff --git a/kernel/sched.c b/kernel/sched.c index d7ae5f4..6cd5e52 100644 --- a/kernel/sched.c +++ b/kernel/sched.c @@ -2398,6 +2398,7 @@ static int try_to_wake_up(struct task_struct *p, unsigned int state, int sync) if (cpu != orig_cpu) { set_task_cpu(p, cpu); task_rq_unlock(rq, &flags); + update_rq_clock(rq); /* might preempt at this point */ rq = task_rq_lock(p, &flags); old_state = p->state; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
