I've found the culprit after some investigation: From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2011 19:48:36 +0000 Subject: sched-clear-pf-thread-bound-on-fallback-rq.patch At system boot when some cpus haven't been up, the scheduler calls select_fallback_rq() and schedules tasks in other cpus, which ends up clearing some kernel threads' PF_THREAD_BOUND flag... -- 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
