22.1-rt8: BUG: scheduling while atomic: stress/0x00000002/739, CPU#0

[Pradyumna Sampath]

Hi,

First of all Im sorry to crosspost between linuxppc-dev and linuxppc-embedded.

I am running linux-2.6.22.1-rt8 on mpc5200 and on running stress

#./stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 2M --timeout 300s

I get the following stack.But this does not happen with non -rt kernel.

  LR = 0xff51fcc

I have also tested the same case on x86 and that does not throw up
anything. Another observation is the fact is that this happens when
--vm is > 1. So I am guessing its a very PowerPC specific problem.
Maybe some part of the vm code for powerpc. This happens for all
powerpc -rt kernels I have used.

A friend of mine has already posted this problem to the rt-preempt
mailing list and I have posted this on the linuxppc-dev list as well.
Any pointers suggestions as to where the problem could
be is most welcome.

Thanks in advance
