Hi, I'm writing to report a problem that's occurring in the raid456 module. I'm running vanilla linux with real time patches applied (http://rt.wiki.kernel.org). Since I upgraded from 2.6.31.12-rt12 the following message comes frequently. Before there weren't such messages: [193002.046563] BUG: scheduling while atomic: md0_raid5/0x00000001/809, CPU#1 [193002.046571] Modules linked in: i915 drm_kms_helper drm i2c_algo_bit video output ppdev lp parport xt_multiport iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables kvm_intel kvm fuse loop raw1394 arc4 ecb ath5k mac80211 ath cfg80211 psmouse usbhid rfkill hid i2c_i801 serio_raw evdev rng_core led_class i2c_core raid456 md_mod async_raid6_recov async_pq raid6_pq async_xor xor async_memcpy async_tx ide_gd_mod ata_generic ata_piix ide_pci_generic ahci libata ohci1394 piix uhci_hcd pdc202xx_new scsi_mod ieee1394 e1000e ehci_hcd ide_core intel_agp [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [193002.046664] Pid: 809, comm: md0_raid5 Not tainted 2.6.33-rt4 #1 [193002.046668] Call Trace: [193002.046682] [] ? __schedule+0x83/0x7dd [193002.046692] [] ? task_blocks_on_rt_mutex+0x14b/0x19f [193002.046700] [] ? schedule+0x10/0x22 [193002.046707] [] ? rt_spin_lock_slowlock+0x14b/0x234 [193002.046721] [] ? release_stripe+0x1a/0x31 [raid456] [193002.046730] [] ? async_xor+0x402/0x413 [async_xor] [193002.046741] [] ? ide_do_rw_disk+0x217/0x299 [ide_gd_mod] [193002.046751] [] ? __raid_run_ops+0x961/0xb61 [raid456] [193002.046761] [] ? ops_complete_reconstruct+0x0/0x91 [raid456] [193002.046772] [] ? handle_stripe+0x17aa/0x1815 [raid456] [193002.046782] [] ? raid5d+0x399/0x3da [raid456] [193002.046796] [] ? md_thread+0xf2/0x110 [md_mod] [193002.046803] [] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2a [193002.046815] [] ? md_thread+0x0/0x110 [md_mod] [193002.046823] [] ? kthread+0x75/0x7d [193002.046831] [] ? finish_task_switch+0x49/0xc8 [193002.046839] [] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [193002.046847] [] ? kthread+0x0/0x7d [193002.046853] [] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 $ dmesg | grep BUG [182968.276011] BUG: scheduling while atomic: md0_raid5/0x00000001/809, CPU#1 [.... 55 ommitted .....] [193002.046563] BUG: scheduling while atomic: md0_raid5/0x00000001/809, CPU#1 $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.33-rt4 (root@sandbox) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Debian 4.4.3-3) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Sat Feb 27 22:35:34 CET 2010 According to Neil Brown, this problem was introduced by the real-time patches.
