Hi folks, To debug some another problem I recently enabled the CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP config for my SoC based on the 2xP5600 cores with MIPS GIC as IRQ-controller. That caused the next BUG backtrace started being printed to the system log during the device boot-up: [ 0.118053] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:283 [ 0.118062] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/1 [ 0.118069] preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 [ 0.118074] RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0 [ 0.118078] Preemption disabled at: [ 0.118082] [<80105040>] arch_dup_task_struct+0x20/0x118 [ 0.118116] CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc1-bt1-00312-gca6f9469050c-dirty #2460 [ 0.118134] Stack : 816d0000 801b89bc 81870000 00000004 a02d0c08 00000000 84ae7dcc 801b84c0 [ 0.118167] 00000000 00000002 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 84ae7d70 84aaf200 [ 0.118195] 00000000 00000000 81115acc 00000000 00000059 84ae7bec 00000000 00000000 [ 0.118222] 00000000 ffffffff ffffffea 00000020 816d0000 00000000 81115acc 00000002 [ 0.118250] 00000000 04240021 a02d0c08 00000000 00000000 00000000 30400000 ac24242a [ 0.118277] ...

The more detailed calls chain is: start_secondary() +-> mips_clockevent_init() +-> r4k_clockevent_init() +-> get_c0_compare_int() +-> gic_get_c0_compare_int() +-> irq_create_mapping() +-> irq_create_mapping_affinity() +-> mutex_lock() +-> might_sleep() +-> might_resched() +-> __might_resched() +-> Print the log above I currently lack of free time for further investigation in an attempt to find a reasonable solution. So here is just a report and a short summary of the problem. Should you have any idea of how to fix the problem I'll be very glad to test it out on a short notice. -Serge(y)
