This isn't a regression strictly speaking, as 2.6.21 is known to be
affected, and older kernels might also be.

It's non-fatal and only happens under very special circumstances, so
it's definitely not a showstopper.

I don't mind being bugged about this once in a while, this is just for
clarification.

i have no better ideas that what you already tried - but unfortunately 
the tracer makes the bug go away and the NMI watchdog crashes your box. 
Btw., nmi_watchdog=2 might have a higher chance of surviving (it can 
still lock up a T60 but with a lower likelyhood).

Good tip, nmi_watchdog=2 worked.  Unlike the previous freezes, after
this one it didn't continue after some minutes.  Don't know if that's
because the NMI oopser changed something, or if this is a slightly
different lockup...

No serial port on this laptop, so screenshot done with digicam:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mszeredi/freeze/nmioops.jpg

Here are the transcribed stack traces:

CPU1
process: strace
 _spin_lock
 task_rq_lock
 wait_task_inactive
 ptrace_check_attach
 sys_ptrace

CPU0
process: fusexmp_fh (this is one of several similar threads being straced)
 _spin_lock_irq
 schedule
 ptrace_stop
 ptrace_notify
 syscall_trace
 syscall_trace_enter
 tracesys

Both these seem to be spinning on rq->lock, but who is holding this
lock?

Can you please add this ...

Got this only after "recompile". "make clean" will make the warnings go away.

I'm a bit lost looking at those patches and don't know which ones are
the appropriate ones I should I apply?

The fix is in -mm and sent to Andi.
So it will likely be merged soon.

I recommemd to ignore the warnings for now.

Thanks, I'll check when the next rc4 is ready.

Well, it looks like a highres-timers problem or something
like that. So I can't really be handling that, as I have no
clue about this.
I suggest you also add Gary Zambrano <zambrano-dY08KVG/lbpWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>
here, as he is actually the maintainer of b44. Not me.
My role was just helping in debugging the issue, as I know
some details of b44.

I probably wouldn't call a randconfig build problem a regression.

James, does Voyager support SMP=n now?

No, this is a longstanding bug that I keep meaning to find time to fix.

I saw the same phenomenon on a totally other machine (therefore it's
likely something else):
Long periods (10-100s) of total unresponsiveness, not even SysRq-*
working.

In my case it was a HP nx6125, beeing unresponsive for about 5s, also
e.g. NUM Led did not work (but was still set after the unresponsive
phase ended).
Looks like machine got stuck with irqs disabled?

It came out that the problem was related to cpufreq (the real cause
probably came from ACPI subsytem). The freq was limited via processor
(_PPC) event and limitation got removed again at the same time, letting
the machine switching down and up it hang in powernow-k8.
Yes, it's unlikely that it's the same problem, but disabling cpufreq
should be worth a test?

Trying a kernel with CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP lockup should tell you at
which place the machine hangs?
