2.6.23-rc7-mm1: panic in scheduler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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)

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
