Subject: ibmvstgt/aio broken with 2.6.20-rc6 powerpc
Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2007 19:52:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070128185258.GA18860@wavehammer.waldi.eu.org> (raw)
Hi folks
I'm not really sure if this is a ibmvstgt or a generic aio problem.
I tried ibmvstgt on my openpower and the kernel shows the following
warning several times:
| Jan 28 15:11:15 waldi kernel: Badness at arch/powerpc/mm/slb.c:95

One possibility:
aio_kick_handler calls use_mm. use_mm calls switch_mm. It seems that
90aef12e6dd609e1ad7fb70044eedc78ca55ee5e changed that from activate_mm.
activate_mm on powerpc disables interupts and calls swtich_mm. So
switch_mm is now called with interrupts enabled and runs into the
WARN_ON.
