Subject: [BUG] events process running on wrong cpu
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:51:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090921085155.GB4649@osiris.boeblingen.de.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi,

with todays git from time to time I get this (s390 defconfig):


BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: events/1/16
caller is vmstat_update+0x28/0x74
CPU: 0 Not tainted 2.6.31-06618-gebc79c4-dirty #3

Please note that events/1 is running in cpu 0 (!).

But (with a patched procfs output):

voluntary_ctxt_switches:        55
nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches:     1

So the cpus_allowed mask is correct (later on at least). Looks like the
created kthread ran before its cpus_allowed mask was set.
Looking at the code this shouldn't happen. But still...
