Or do you do something in particular > when this happens, (like a suspend and resume)? It happens rythmically on a hp compaq 6710s laptop bought in ~2007. BIOS updated in 2011. With kernels 3.0.14-1.rt31.1.fc16.ccrma.i686 and .x86_64 and self built i386 3.0.14.rt31. rt25 is ok on the hp compaq 6710s except for occasional ext3 corruption past hibernate/resume, which also happens with latest fedora16 stock kernel. My understanding is the bug above is caused by kmalloc being called from __acpi_os_execute under the raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&acpi_gbl_gpe_lock, flags) aquired in acpi_ev_gpe_detect: The bug triggers depending on acpi implementation. If __acpi_os_execute isn't needed, it doesn't. In rt25 acpi_gbl_gpe_lock was a mutex. I didn't notice any bad behaviour on the laptop except the hibernate/resume issue. Is there an easy way to trigger the bug resulting in the change of acpi_gbl_gpe_lock to a raw_spin_lock? Could rt31 be fixed for the laptop by preallocating the struct acpi_os_dpc instances it allocates in __acpi_os_execute? How many needed to be preallocated then? Maybe the queue_work_on(0,...) called in __acpi_os_execute wouldn't be needed in PREEMPT_RT if the acpi-irq thread would be bound to cpu 0? Dunno...
