From: John Kacur <jkacur@xxxxxxxxxx> On a 3.6-rt (real-time patch) kernel we are seeing the following BUG However, it appears to be relevant for non-realtime (mainline) as well. |hpsa 0000:03:00.0: hpsa0: <0x323a> at IRQ 67 using DAC |scsi0 : hpsa |BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [0000000000000000] code: kworker/u:0/6 |caller is enqueue_cmd_and_start_io+0x5a/0x100 [hpsa] |Pid: 6, comm: kworker/u:0 Not tainted 3.6.11.5-rt37.52.el6rt.x86_64.debug #1 |Call Trace: | [<ffffffff812abe83>] debug_smp_processor_id+0x123/0x150 | [<ffffffffa009043a>] enqueue_cmd_and_start_io+0x5a/0x100 [hpsa] | [<ffffffffa00905cb>] hpsa_scsi_do_simple_cmd_core+0xeb/0x110 [hpsa] | [<ffffffff812b09c8>] ? swiotlb_dma_mapping_error+0x18/0x30 | [<ffffffff812b09c8>] ? swiotlb_dma_mapping_error+0x18/0x30 | [<ffffffffa0090701>] hpsa_scsi_do_simple_cmd_with_retry+0x91/0x280 [hpsa] | [<ffffffffa0093558>] hpsa_scsi_do_report_luns.clone.2+0xd8/0x130 [hpsa] | [<ffffffffa00935ea>] hpsa_gather_lun_info.clone.3+0x3a/0x1a0 [hpsa] | [<ffffffffa00963df>] hpsa_update_scsi_devices+0x11f/0x4f0 [hpsa] | [<ffffffff81592019>] ? sub_preempt_count+0xa9/0xe0 | [<ffffffffa00968ad>] hpsa_scan_start+0xfd/0x150 [hpsa] | [<ffffffff8158cba8>] ? rt_spin_lock_slowunlock+0x78/0x90 | [<ffffffff813b04d7>] do_scsi_scan_host+0x37/0xa0 | [<ffffffff813b05da>] do_scan_async+0x1a/0x30 | [<ffffffff8107c4ab>] async_run_entry_fn+0x9b/0x1d0 | [<ffffffff8106ae92>] process_one_work+0x1f2/0x620 | [<ffffffff8106ae20>] ? process_one_work+0x180/0x620 | [<ffffffff8106d4fe>] ? worker_thread+0x5e/0x3a0 | [<ffffffff8107c410>] ? async_schedule+0x20/0x20 | [<ffffffff8106d5d3>] worker_thread+0x133/0x3a0 | [<ffffffff8106d4a0>] ? manage_workers+0x190/0x190 | [<ffffffff81073236>] kthread+0xa6/0xb0 | [<ffffffff815970a4>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 | [<ffffffff81082a7c>] ? finish_task_switch+0x8c/0x110 | [<ffffffff8158e44b>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x3b/0x70 | [<ffffffff8158e85d>] ? retint_restore_args+0xe/0xe | [<ffffffff81073190>] ? kthreadd+0x1e0/0x1e0 | [<ffffffff815970a0>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb ------------------- This is caused by enqueue_cmd_and_start_io()-> set_performant_mode()-> smp_processor_id() Which if you have debugging enabled calls debug_processor_id() and triggers the warning. The code here is c->Header.ReplyQueue = smp_processor_id() % h->nreply_queues; Since it is not critical that the code complete on the same processor, but the cpu is a hint used in generating the ReplyQueue and will still work if the cpu migrates or is preempted, it is safe to use the raw_smp_processor_id() to surpress the false positve warning.
