I think it _IS_ releated because the worker_thread is CPU affine and the debug_smp_processor_id() check does: if (cpumask_equal(¤t->cpus_allowed, cpumask_of(this_cpu))) which prevents that usage of smp_processor_id() in ksoftirqd and keventd in preempt enabled regions is warned on. We saw exaclty the same back trace with fd21073 (sched: Fix affinity logic in select_task_rq_fair()). Rafael, can you please add a printk to debug_smp_processor_id() so we can see on which CPU we are running ? I suspect we are on the wrong one.
