Hi Tejun, I just upgraded my test VMs from 6.12.0 to a current TOT kernel and I got several of these warnings whilst running fstests whilst running CPU hotplug online/offline concurrently with various tests: [ 2508.109594] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 2508.115669] WARNING: CPU: 23 PID: 133 at kernel/kthread.c:76 kthread_set_per_cpu+0x33/0x50 [ 2508.125271] Modules linked in: [ 2508.131000] CPU: 23 UID: 0 PID: 133 Comm: cpuhp/23 Tainted: G D W 6.12.0-dgc+ #296 [ 2508.142954] Tainted: [D]=DIE, [W]=WARN [ 2508.148153] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014 [ 2508.148158] RIP: 0010:kthread_set_per_cpu+0x33/0x50 [ 2508.169229] Code: f6 47 2e 20 74 24 48 8b 87 58 0a 00 00 48 85 c0 74 11 f6 47 2f 04 74 16 85 f6 78 18 89 70 08 f0 80 08 01 5d c3 cc cc cc cc cc <0f> 0b eb d8 0f 0b 85 f6 79 e8 f0 80 20 fe 5d c3 cc cc cc cc cc 0f [ 2508.187728] RSP: 0018:ffffc900068c3de8 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 2508.192758] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8888d4295680 RCX: 0b0ee35baf810600 [ 2508.199999] RDX: 0000000000000040 RSI: 00000000ffffffff RDI: ffff888866aa0000 [ 2508.208341] RBP: ffffc900068c3de8 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000001 [ 2508.218878] R10: 000000005b5d0000 R11: ffffffff8118d8b0 R12: 000000000002fef0 [ 2508.226572] R13: ffff88901fbefb88 R14: ffff88901fbef8c0 R15: 0000000000000017 [ 2508.233346] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88901fbc0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 2508.239695] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 2508.244123] CR2: 00007fbaf43c0004 CR3: 0000000003256000 CR4: 0000000000350ef0 [ 2508.249599] Call Trace: [ 2508.253909] <TASK> [ 2508.311972] unbind_worker+0x1b/0x70 [ 2508.315444] workqueue_offline_cpu+0xd8/0x1f0 [ 2508.319554] cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x13e/0x4f0 [ 2508.328936] cpuhp_thread_fun+0xda/0x120 [ 2508.332746] smpboot_thread_fn+0x132/0x1d0 [ 2508.336645] kthread+0x147/0x170 [ 2508.347646] ret_from_fork+0x3e/0x50 [ 2508.353845] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 2508.357773] </TASK> [ 2508.357776] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- I have also seen similar traces from the CPUs coming on-line: [ 2535.818771] WARNING: CPU: 23 PID: 133 at kernel/kthread.c:76 kthread_set_per_cpu+0x33/0x50 ....
