Subject: WARNING: at include/linux/iocontext.h:140 copy_io+0xb9/0x130()
Date: Tue, 01 May 2012 14:05:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1335873936.16988.148.camel@lappy> (raw)

Hi all,

I've stumbled on the warning at the bottom with today's linux-next within a KVM guest doing syscall fuzzing using trinity.

I haven't encountered this warning before, and it looks like it's not easy to reproduce it within the guest. Looking at the code in that area I guess it's some sorts of a rare race condition.

The only recent commits in that area are the work done on blk cgroup. It is enabled in the test kernel.
