Hi When I've tried 3.19-rc3/4 kernel - after boot I just see 1 CPU core being busy 100% with pccard process. Here is also some kernel WARNING: (unsure how it's related to busy looping) ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 185 at kernel/sched/core.c:7300 __might_sleep+0xbd/0xd0() do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [] pccardd+0xe8/0x490 Modules linked in: uhci_hcd sr_mod cdrom yenta_socket ehci_pci ehci_hcd usbcore usb_common video backlight autofs4 CPU: 0 PID: 185 Comm: pccardd Not tainted 3.19.0-rc4-00143-gbeefabb #2 Hardware name: LENOVO 6464CTO/6464CTO, BIOS 7LETC9WW (2.29 ) 03/18/2011 ffffffff819e4ac2 ffff8800b845bc58 ffffffff816389cd 0000000000000007 ffff8800b845bca8 ffff8800b845bc98 ffffffff8105874a ffff880000000000 ffffffff819e5dab 000000000000026d 0000000000000000 0000000000000080 Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7b [] warn_slowpath_common+0x8a/0xc0 [] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [] ? pccardd+0xe8/0x490 [] ? pccardd+0xe8/0x490 [] __might_sleep+0xbd/0xd0 [] mutex_lock_nested+0x2e/0x440 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x5d/0x80 [] ? preempt_count_sub+0xab/0x100 [] pccardd+0x150/0x490 [] ? pcmcia_socket_dev_complete+0x40/0x40 [] kthread+0x11f/0x140 [] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x260/0x260 [] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x260/0x260 ---[ end trace 9a800478929367fe ]--- My HW - Lenovo T61, 4G Ram, C2D, nothing in pcmcia slot is inserted.
