Subject: WARNING: at kernel/timer.c:1012 del_timer_sync+0x39/0x4e()

Message-ID: <4D8C8A6F.6090208@goop.org> (raw)

In today's linux-2.6.38+ I'm seeing this in my Xen domains:

------------[ cut here ]------------

Which is the result of this call to blk_stop_queue() in drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:

static void do_blkif_request(struct request_queue *rq)
{
[...]
		if (blkif_queue_request(req)) {
			blk_requeue_request(rq, req);
wait:
			/* Avoid pointless unplugs. */
			blk_stop_queue(rq);
			break;
		}



How should this be fixed? Is this call to blk_stop_queue() bogus, or is
it OK to call it in a handler like this?  If so, is the warning itself
wrong?

Does this relate to  7eaceaccab5f4 "block: remove per-queue plugging"?

Thanks,
    J
