A user (Owen) reported seeing the following backtrace with 3.15-rc1+: kernel: [ 120.253539] Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC/1962, BIOS F.24 08/27/2013 kernel: [ 120.253540] ffff88025f2146c0 ffffffff81c01e40 ffffffff8171dc1d ffffffff81d11aa0 kernel: [ 120.253543] ffffffff81c01e50 ffffffff81719a39 ffffffff81c01eb0 ffffffff8172151b kernel: [ 120.253545] ffffffff81c18480 ffffffff81c01fd8 00000000000146c0 00000000000146c0 kernel: [ 120.253548] Call Trace: kernel: [ 120.253555] [<ffffffff8171dc1d>] dump_stack+0x4d/0x6f kernel: [ 120.253558] [<ffffffff81719a39>] __schedule_bug+0x4c/0x5a kernel: [ 120.253560] [<ffffffff8172151b>] __schedule+0x6eb/0x7a0 kernel: [ 120.253563] [<ffffffff81721b91>] schedule_preempt_disabled+0x31/0x80 kernel: [ 120.253566] [<ffffffff810af8f3>] cpu_startup_entry+0x173/0x490 kernel: [ 120.253570] [<ffffffff8170e3e4>] rest_init+0x84/0x90 kernel: [ 120.253574] [<ffffffff81d34f83>] start_kernel+0x450/0x45b kernel: [ 120.253576] [<ffffffff81d3493c>] ? repair_env_string+0x5c/0x5c kernel: [ 120.253578] [<ffffffff81d34120>] ? early_idt_handlers+0x120/0x120 kernel: [ 120.253581] [<ffffffff81d345ee>] x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c kernel: [ 120.253583] [<ffffffff81d3472e>] x86_64_start_kernel+0x13e/0x14d For whatever reason, his report didn't hit lkml, but it did hit Linus' inbox. Linus took a look around, googled some, and came across a report that Alexander filed 2 days ago against Fedora rawhide with a similar backtrace: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1087810 Linus CC'd me and Alexander on his reply to Owen, Ingo, Peter, etc. Ingo was aware of Chen Gong's patch, but when Owen tested it it produced the BUG line above. So Ingo came up with a slightly different fix to hopefully resolve that as well. We haven't heard from Owen whether Ingo's patch resolves everything yet. I think (hope) that is the full backstory. Ingo or Peter could correct me. josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tip-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
