Looks a lot like the old gripes to me, just earlier and > deadlier. But I don't speak rcu. Nothing stands out, but then, I'm tired and it are 32 cpu traces to look through. There is definitely something still fishy with RCU, the last patch in -rt10 is as far as we understand things a complete bandaid at best and horridly wrong otherwise. I think I'll try Paul's WARN_ON(t->rcu_read_lock_nesting == 0 && t->rcu_read_unlock_special); in __rcu_read_lock() sometime later. I also haven't read through my IRC backlog in which Paul and Steven discussed things way after I fell over and got keyboard face. /me needs to go out in the rain to get some shopping done, shops in this country I live in are closed on sunday :/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
