Subject: INFO: task rcu_kthread:6 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 17:43:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110112174300.GA6504@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> (raw)

I'm seeing rcu_kthread get stuck from time to time on ARM Versatile PB
(ARM926).  Kernel is based upon commit 9e9bc973 (immediately prior to
the merge of the OMAP tree.)
