The patch titled sched: Use show_regs() to improve __schedule_bug() output has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is sched-use-show_regs-to-improve-__schedule_bug-output.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: sched: Use show_regs() to improve __schedule_bug() output From: Satyam Sharma <satyam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> A full register dump along with stack backtrace would make the "scheduling while atomic" message more helpful. Use show_regs() instead of dump_stack() for this. We already know we're atomic in here (that is why this function was called) so show_regs()'s atomicity expectations are guaranteed. Also, modify the output of the "BUG: scheduling while atomic:" header a bit to keep task->comm and task->pid together and preempt_count() after them.
