Hi, when running the q800 qemu emulation, am seeing random "spinlock recursion" messages every few test runs. Some examples are below. This is not a new problem, but it keeps popping up. Is this a potential problem or just noise ? Thanks, Guenter --- BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, swapper/1 lock: 0x5875c0, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: swapper/1, .owner_cpu: 0 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted
