From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxxxxx> The arm boot_lock is used by the secondary processor startup code. The locking task is the idle thread, which has idle->sched_class == &idle_sched_class. idle_sched_class->enqueue_task == NULL, so if the idle task blocks on the lock, the attempt to wake it when the lock becomes available will fail: try_to_wake_up() ... activate_task() enqueue_task() p->sched_class->enqueue_task(rq, p, flags) Fix by converting boot_lock to a raw spin lock.
