Hi maintainers of the fair scheduler, we had a crash in the fair scheduler and analysis shows that this could happen again. Happened on 4.14.86 (LTS series) but failing code path still exists in 5.4-rc2 (and 4.14.147 too). I have collected relevant data from the core dump and put together with the source. So i was able to explain why the crash happened, but as i am not an expert on this scheduler stuff i can't tell if any of the data fed into the code path is ok or not. In the analysis appended you can find the details; please check if we ran into a corner case that nobody expected yet or if the data is somehow corrupted (i really can't tell, for me it looks fine). Can you please check if this is a bug in the scheduler? To give some "surrounding" info: It looks like a task has slept for a long time, even through some suspend/resume cycles. When this task had to wake up, the failure occured. If you need more data from the core dump, let me know. Best regards Carsten
