[Xenomai-help] kernel BUG in preempt_schedule_irq at kernel/sched.c:3114!

[Yigal Goldberger]

Hi, 
I've also submitted this on the website under Xenomai-support, but I'm not sure which is the best way to go... so I'll try this channel as well.

My system is a PPC running kernel 2.6.14.7 patched with Xenomai. 
My system communicates with the host PC through two RS-232 ports and each port has also a uart connection to a slave device. 
The slave device sends interrupts to the CPU on the board , and are handled by a lodable kernel module interrupt handler . 
When the system works only through a singel port - (RS-232 between the PC and the board,and uart between the board and a slave device) it works fine, but when the 2 ports are stressed together I get the Oops below.I've tried working with the uart without interrupts and the Oops still occures . 


I've looked it up in the System.map file and the addresses correspond to the following : 
c0004c7c - __ipipe_ret_from_except 
c0004a40 - somewhere inside resume_kernel.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and what am I doing wrong ? 


Thanks,

This channel is the best one for now.

Your kernel is outdated. I-pipe patches for 2.6.14 were not fully PREEMPT-safe. 
Disable CONFIG_PREEMPT and try again, but there is no guarantee you won't face 
other issues that have been fixed in the I-pipe support for recent kernels. 
2.6.20 is the oldest release that I would recommend for running a powerpc 
plateform w/ Xenomai over the Linux 2.6.x series; earlier I-pipe patches for 
2.6.x/powerpc may have stability and performances issues.
