Looks like lots of cpus are waiting on the smp_call_function_single() lock. Looks like rcu is complaining: [ 4959.814010] [<ffffffff81252e47>] __const_udelay+0x2c/0x2e [ 4959.814017] [<ffffffff81027449>] native_safe_apic_wait_icr_idle+0x31/0x3d [ 4959.814024] [<ffffffff81027f11>] __default_send_IPI_dest_field.constprop.0+0x23/0x5d [ 4959.814032] [<ffffffff81027f93>] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys+0x48/0x97 [ 4959.814039] [<ffffffff81089848>] ? tick_nohz_handler+0xdf/0xdf [ 4959.814044] [<ffffffff8102b561>] physflat_send_IPI_all+0x17/0x19 [ 4959.814052] [<ffffffff81028102>] arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace+0x57/0x89 [ 4959.814057] [<ffffffff810c7711>] __rcu_pending+0x89/0x328 [ 4959.814063] [<ffffffff81089848>] ? tick_nohz_handler+0xdf/0xdf [ 4959.814067] [<ffffffff810c7e0a>] rcu_check_callbacks+0x88/0xb9 [ 4959.814071] [<ffffffff8106aeba>] update_process_times+0x3f/0x75 Maybe the core issue is that CPU 3 is spinning in do_insn_fetch() and denying rcu grace periods. Nate, can you provide a few more dumps (this is looking at the second paste, so more of the same)? -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
