Subject: 2.6.23-rc7-mm1: panic in scheduler
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:12:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1190668373.5030.10.camel@localhost> (raw)
I looked around on the MLs for mention of this, but didn't find anything
that appeared to match.
Platform: HP rx8620 - 16-cpu/32GB/4-node ia64 [Madison]
2.6.23-rc7-mm1 broken out -- panic occurs when git-sched.patch pushed:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 0000000000000000)
swapper[0]: Oops 8813272891392 [1]

Taking a quick look at [__]{en|de|queue_entity() and the functions they call,
I see something suspicious in set_leftmost() in sched_fair.c:
static inline void
set_leftmost(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct rb_node *leftmost)
{
struct sched_entity *se;
cfs_rq->rb_leftmost = leftmost;
if (leftmost)
se = rb_entry(leftmost, struct sched_entity, run_node);
}
Missing code? corrupt patch?
config available on request, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way
of scheduler config option. A few that might apply:
SCHED_SMT is not set
SCHED_DEBUG=y
SCHEDSTATS=y
