ksmd circular locking warning, cpu_hotplug_lock vs ksm_thread_mutex

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Apologies for the large Cc list, but wasn't really sure who to send this to.

I've seen this once on a Power8 box, with next-20170807.

I think it happened while I was running the memory hoptlug selftests.

cheers
