There are several more of these warnings, but all have the same stack-trace (this is on s390x, but this looks like its only common code) - sometimes the process-context is multipath. Looking at the changes in this function, it rather looks like this is caused by changes made in commit b0b477c7e0dd93f8916d106018ded1331b81bf61 (dm round robin: use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path'). The kernel is a stock v4.7 with some debug options enabled (prominently DEBUG_PREEMPT). Need any more info?As you can see from commit b0b477c7e0dd9 the round-robin path selector is now using percpu data (pointer) and a percpu_counter. I'm really not sure how else to access this percpu data. Cc'ing LKML, linux-block, Jens and hch to cast a wider net in the hopes of getting an answer to how to fix this.
From a quick look, looks like you are using this_cpu_ptr() without having preemption disabled. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
