I saw your patch and quickly did a test with top-of-tree + your patch using your reproducer. I end up with warnings from the smp_call_function code followed by all sorts of deadlocks, etc. I haven't had a chance to debug and will start doing so shortly ... intel-canoepass-02 login: [ 108.479555] Clock: inserting leap second 23:59:60 UTC [ 108.485199] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 108.490368] WARNING: at kernel/smp.c:461 smp_call_function_many+0xbd/0x260() [ 108.498236] Hardware name: S2600CP [ 108.502060] Modules linked in: nfs nfs_acl auth_rpcgss fscache lockd sunrpc kvm_intel igb coretemp kvm ixgbe ptp pps_core ioatdma mdio tpm_tis crc32c_intel wmi joydev dca tpm lpc_ich ghash_clmulni_intel sb_edac mfd_core edac_core i2c_i801 microcode pcspkr tpm_bios hid_generic isci libsas scsi_transport_sas mgag200 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper ttm drm i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 108.540561] Pid: 1328, comm: leaptest Not tainted 3.5.0-rc4+ #4 [ 108.547169] Hypervisor: no hypervisor [ 108.551273] Call Trace: [ 108.554019] [] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 108.561398] [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 108.567911] [] smp_call_function_many+0xbd/0x260 [ 108.574931] [] ? hrtimer_wakeup+0x30/0x30 [ 108.581242] [] ? hrtimer_wakeup+0x30/0x30 [ 108.587560] [] smp_call_function+0x22/0x30 [ 108.593982] [] on_each_cpu+0x28/0x70 [ 108.599825] [] clock_was_set+0x1c/0x30 [ 108.605847] [] do_timer+0x315/0x570 [ 108.611592] [] tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x78/0xc0 [ 108.618680] [] tick_sched_timer+0xb8/0xc0 [ 108.624991] [] __run_hrtimer+0x73/0x1d0 [ 108.631111] [] ? tick_nohz_handler+0x110/0x110 [ 108.637908] [] hrtimer_interrupt+0xd7/0x1f0 [ 108.644447] [] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x69/0x99 [ 108.651550] [] apic_timer_interrupt+0x6a/0x70 [ 108.658255]
